Reason for CONCERN in Ohio

Governor Strickland came into office promising to make ethics a priority in the state and after the many ethics violations we saw under the previous GOP administration, Strickland’s tighter restrictions were welcomed by Ohioans.


One of Governor Strickland’s first acts was to issue an executive order limiting the gifts that can be received by state government officials and employees. He hoped that such restrictions would prevent businesses and organizations from unfairly exerting influence on the government decision making process. It seems to have worked.

According to the Executive Order: The job of the officials and employees of the State of Ohio is to serve the people of Ohio. When those who want contracts or grants or other benefits from the State give gifts or meals or tickets or trips to state officials or employees, the people of Ohio have every right to be suspicious that official government decisions aren’t being made based on the merits.

Kasich has thrown away all of those restrictions and returned the state’s ethics policy back to where it was under Taft. For most officials and employees this means that instead of reporting any gifts over $20 they have to report any gifts over $75. Limits on gifts to family members of state employees are also gone. And, most importantly, restrictions that Strickland put in place preventing lobbyists and people seeking grants or loans from the state are now gone.

As if this wasn’t bad enough, Kasich had indicated that he doesn’t intend to stop there. It appears at though Kasich is intent on decimating the state’s ethics policy, at least where it applies to his friends. And, as he promised during the campaign, he’s going to start with the Department of Development.

School Policy Challanged - TinC News

Ching Mao Woo, with the law firm of Woo, Jablonski, Hidalgo and Schlembechler, announced today that his firm had been retained by a group of employees from the Franklin School of English, located in Washington, D.C., to start proceedings on a lawsuit against the school citing their new "English Only" policy at the school.


Miguel Hernandez, spokesperson for the group, on his press release, stated, "We dont all speek there friggin language here at the schul, we gotta talk wit each udder dont we. I wuz on a ten minute break the uddere day an it took me tirty minutes to try to tell sum guy I needed to go to the batroom. It aint no good policy."

Personnel Manager Janine Mills, commented, "We have a non discrimination policy here at Franklin, and as a result we offer opportunities to many different ethnic groups, but our mission here is to teach the English language, and that environment is conducive to an all English policy within these hallowed walls. We are firm on this policy."

Harley Ruskin, Head of the Sociology Department and Anger Management Counselor, stated, "Hell we might just as well become a bi-lingual school and let them spicks and chinks and ragheads talk anyway they want to. I thought we wuz trying to learn people English here."

There has been no official reply from the school.

FYI .. This is all made up.
