* While most Republicans and John Boehner have supported sequestration, Ohio people and businesses will see the results of Boehner's plans---

According to the MedinaGazette, as many as 13,000 civilian employees that work at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base could be furloughed. That could be devastating to employees, their families, and businesses near the base.

Up to 13,000 civilian employees at Ohio’s largest military installation could face furloughs if defense spending cuts kick in as scheduled March 1 and that has business owners and public officials in surrounding communities worried about their bottom lines.
Scheduled cuts in defense spending — part of the so-called sequester that’s subject of a standoff between Democrats and Republicans in Washington — could have a significant effect on the communities around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Congress this week he may have to furlough civilian workers if the cuts aren’t averted.

* The federal government has gone after some businesses in Ohio.
BusinessWeek:

Federal labor officials say the operators of two Mexican groceries in Ohio and a small chain of restaurants in the Columbus area have been fined and have agreed to pay back wages to more than 250 employees.

The U.S. Labor Department says the businesses failed to pay employees enough for the hours they worked and for overtime.

They are Los Tres Amigos Supermarket in Cincinnati, La Plaza Tapatia Supermarket in Columbus and three Jalapenos Mexican Restaurants in the Columbus area.....

This kind of behavior on the part of businesses is not only against the law, but also immoral. Why do some people refuse to honor and respect the right of workers?
