Kasich's version of who to take from and who to give to.

Along with stripping state workers of their right to fairly bargain wages, Kasich gave his chief of staff a $47,000 dollar a year raise for $122,990 to $170,000. That's more than the Attorney General, Speaker of the House, Auditor, Treasurer or Senate President.

The Communications Director will make $120,000, up from $89,003. That's more than some cabinet holders. A RAISE of nearly $31,000.

The Press Secretary will get $90,000, an increase from $69,992. A RAISE of over $20,000.

And Kasich has created a state job, that didn't exist, "special assistant", paying $145,000 for Jai Chabria who was person 2 in John Kasich’s “two person office” in Columbus when they both worked for Lehman Brothers. Remember Lehman Brothers? That company that help bring the economy down in '08, where he continued to work until they locked the doors behind him in bankruptcy?, In 2002 he made the introductions using his political connections which resulted in an investment of $480 million from the state pension fund and he was paid a bonus of $400,000 of his $587,175 '08 salary. What do you think became of that investment the state of Ohio made with Lehman through Kasich's contacts after the stock market crash?

I want to ask pro SB5 working class people why they aren't outraged about this, instead of trashing a union like OAPSE, who's workers average salary is $24,000 and whose average pension is less than $900 dollars a month?

My next topic will be outsourcing. 

I'll end this article and begin the next one with a reminder about his years as a member of the Board of Directors at Invacare  where our dear Governor Kasich personally signed off on a policy of outsourcing jobs from Ohio to China and Mexico.

It's possible to learn about what compainies are lobbing now state contracts. It's on the Office of the Legislative Inspector General website.

I also need to write about the role evangelical christianity is playing in this administration and how it is the underpinning to every thing Kasich and those he's bringing into government.

A perfect example is the uber christian oil and gas industry insider he hired to run the Department of Natural Resources.

Objectivity, conformation bias, the stork and far left knee jerk reactions to fracking and the Canadian pipleline.

  I'm a 64 year old liberal. But what I also try not to be on the topic of energy production is a hypocrite. As I read the responses here I’m certain that about 99% of you drive cars to your home where you turn on you lights, put your cell (made in an energy hog Chinese factory) on the charger, cook or microwave (made in an energy hog Chinese factory) something to eat, which you get from your freezer/refrigerator, (made in an energy hog Chinese factory) boot up your computer (made in an energy hog Chinese factory), hit the net, turn on a TV (made in an energy hog Chinese factory).. And on and on, yet you’d think from what’s here that you haven’t got a clue what powers it all. You can NOT live a modern life and be AGAINST energy production that is scalable to hundreds of millions, indeed billions of people. Please notice it has to be scalable. You can’t get nearly enough of it from our favorite tree hugging sources, wind, solar, hydro (most tree huggers don’t like that one) or ...

Inside the last minute of zero hour, Republicans tap out and cry "UNCLE!" on Obama care repleal!!

   By Jack Warner The fifteen million Americans that got insurance they didn't have before, and the ten million more that would have been kicked off plans, should be giving the sigh of relief heard round the world. What a thrill it was when watching C-Span this afternoon headed for that 3:30 vote when I saw someone walk to the speaker dais and hand a note to the Pro tempore at 2:29 and I realized they were pulling the bill and Republicans were spared being forced to vote and having an opponent run against that vote no matter which way it went. Their greatest fears would have been Republican primary challengers. Now they get to crawl back in there dark dank cave or holes in the ground waiting until Trump's "no amount of money is enough money" greedmongers call them out again to shill a "Tax Reform" bill. I've heard that in  some obscure ancient language "Tax" means "New" and "reform" means "Gulfstream G600" (N...

To all Apollo moon landing hoaxers, deniers, and cranks.

 Used to be that if you needed information first you went to periodical publications like newspapers or magazines then your only other choice was libraries where you found drawers full of 3” by 5” index cards you had to slog through to find what you’re looking for. Or you go to the research desk where the person there would either know off the top of their head where to find it, or they would slog through the catalogs for you. It was hard for average people to check the accuracy of things they read. Then through the mid to late 1990’s libraries and other just about every other thing in the world became networked. From then if you really wanted to know the facts all you had to do was point click and type into search engines. That’s it. Virtually everyone born after 1985 or so has had all the information in the world at their fingertips. And yet through seemingly pure laziness many or most have squandered it!!! The world can be made safe from misinformed people and purpos...
