Gov. Ted Strickland of Ohio, a Democrat, has come out against a ballot initiative that would require Ohio businesses to offer seven paid sick days a year to employees who work 30 hours a week. This is a big blow to the measure, which is backed by SEIU. And it complicates any effort by Barack Obama to organize around the issue in order to boost turnout in a big swing state this fall.

State and Democracy
Art Woodrow is the founder of the Democracy Conservator Foundation, which is dedicated to preserving this democracy for future generations. Anyone truly interested in changing how their state and government is run would read what Woodrow has to say. Very impressive.
Ohio Governor Ted Strickland
Ohio Governor Ted Strickland has a new companion to support, offering a solution as his opposition to the payday loan and cash advance industries amplify. He’s fighting on behalf of the state’s community of gamblers. In effect as of August 1, 2008, but being disputed by the people on the November 4 state ballot, Strickland says this is a heroic effort to raise money for their public schools. Strickland has defended his views on several occasions, claiming this one’s best for the common good for our children. Despite the massive criticisms from all walks of life, including members of his own parish, he continues to dig up ways to shield his idea. Parts of his proposal would revise the state constitution to authorize the construction of a $600 million casino near Dayton. This proposal is giving many people a more vivid picture of the state of Ohio’s economy. So let’s get this straight. Governor Strickland is telling his citizens to go out and gamble away their rent and mortgage payments for the sake of their children’s future. Then, after gambling away all our money, when we experience a pinch in our budget and are unable to buy the necessities for our children, Strickland says we should NOT resort to getting temporary funds from a payday lender to help make ends meet. Seriously, there is no sense in that.
