* I'm disappointed that WCMH Channel 4 in Columbus, did an "investigation" into the the amount of money spent on security for Mayor Michael Coleman, mayor of Columbus. It is amazing that they wasted their time on such a silly investigation when Gov. John Kasich, refused to live in the Governor's Mansion and now requires extra support from the Ohio Highway Patrol, a massive increase to the Patrol's budget to provide security personnel and protection for his private residence. Why was Channel 4 reluctant to investigate Kasich's security costs?
* George Will, conservative columnist, has a piece in the Washington Post today about Kasich. According to Will, Kasich is looking for a fight with teachers, unions, and nursing homes.
WashingtonPost:
.....With Republicans controlling all statewide elected offices (except one Supreme Court seat) and both houses of the General Assembly, Kasich is spoiling for some fights. One will be with the nursing home industry, which will resist state attempts to save money by helping the elderly stay at home. And there will be a brawl with the teachers union over school voucher programs, charter schools and narrowing the topics - e.g., class sizes - that can be subjects of collective bargaining. He is prepared to threaten a state takeover of failing school systems and is proud that Michelle Rhee, who was constructively confrontational when running the District of Columbia's schools, is from Toledo....
Will failed to mention anything about Kasich lack of diversity in his administration. I guess conservatives don't put any importance on things like diversity, being inclusive, and hearing the opinions of everyone.
