These are the rants and raves of a stubborn-headed, midwestern, baby boomer, liberal, wife, mother, and grandmother. My goals are to speak my mind and educate others about some of the events in our world.

Failure!
People across Ohio are in shock about Ohio's latest job numbers. Ohio is ranked number 40 in job creation.
W.P. Carey Job Growth USA:
Ohio 40
Gov. John Kasich has failed in job creation and Ohio's middle class suffers.

In the news....
Another tragedy in Ohio--------
WDTN:
The Beavercreek Police Department confirms that an officer shot and killed a rifle-waving suspect at the Walmart store.
Officers say they responded to the Walmart on Pentagon Boulevard at 8:21 p.m. on reports that a man was waving a rifle type weapon at customers....
...The second victim in this event apparently died from some sort of medical collapse. She is identified as Angela Williams, 37, of Fairborn. The coroner’s office says she was running away from the incident when she collapsed. She died at Soin Medical Center. An autopsy will be completed today, but results are not expected for several weeks....
It is so hard to understand why some people feel the need to terrorize others with guns.
>>> Toledo citizens might be able to drink tap water now, but the future could see more water emergencies with the increase in factory farms and climate change.
PublicNews "...Massive runoff pollution from farm fields in the Maumee River basin causes toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie..."
Massive
runoff pollution from farm fields in the Maumee River basin causes
toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie, which can create oxygen-deprived "dead
zones" that can kill fish and sicken humans. Moazed said leaders need to
take action to reduce the waste flowing into the state's rivers and
lakes, including tougher regulations for farm runoff.
At the National Center for Water Quality Research, scientist Laura
Johnson said algae blooms tend to widen and spread out, meaning this one
could migrate to another part of Lake Erie. Without action, she warned,
the problems are likely to worsen. - See more at:

We must demand that our drinking water be protected, no matter what influence political contributors try to exert on public officials. Clean drinking water is essential to our survival!
