  • Sewage energy

    Number of comments: 1
    Now this is smart. One Ohio city is using a biological process to turn sewage into energy and run a wastewater treatment plant on its own power.  Experts say what’s happening in Akron could spread quickly in Ohio and lead to other sewage plants generating power not only for their own operations but also for [...]

  • Smarter

    John Boehner (R-West Chester) just can’t help himself.  He must continually push the right-wing economic agenda.  What’s his plan to stimulate the economy?  Tax cuts, of course!  Here’s what he said on Fox News Sunday today: “If we’re really serious about creating jobs, what we ought to do is we ought [...]

  • Double-voting; let’s string ‘em up

    It’s easy to jump to conclusions in today’s partisan-charged political atmosphere.  Accusations of voter fraud were rampant during weeks and months preceding the election.  But I think this article in the Toledo Blade points out that not every case of double-voting is some kind of liberal/ACORN conspiracy. One case involved a [...]

  • Infighting continues among Ohio conservatives

    Despite Bob Bennett’s efforts to downplay the infighting among Ohio conservatives, the battle rages on.  This time, the Summit County Right to Life group chimes in on why the GOP was defeated. The group counters DeWine’s evaluation of why Republicans lost on Election Day, saying the GOP was defeated “not because [...]

  • Missouri legislator “a little delusional”

    Missouri State Rep. Edgar G.H. Emery (R),  links abortion to illegal immigration in a new report. “We hear a lot of arguments today that the reason that we can’t get serious about our borders is that we are desperate for all these workers,” he said. “You don’t have to think too long. [...]

  • Ohio Senate will attempt to bipass will of voters

    Thirteen state senators (10 Republicans and 3 Democrats) signed unto a bill that would partially bipass the state smoking ban.   Ohioans overwhelmingly voted for the ban. Ohio voters passed Issue 5, an indoor smoking ban for all workplaces, by 59 percent. They defeated a proposed constitutional amendment, supported by Big Tobacco [...]

  • Judge: Count the votes!

    US District Judge Algenon Marbley says the 1,000 disputed provisional ballots in the 15th district should be counted.  The Stivers’ campaign appealed and basically says it’s not the poll workers responsibility to make sure provisional ballots are signed.  And if they’re not signed, they shouldn’t count.  But Judge Marbley, interpreting [...]

  • You didn’t get the memo?

    Maybe the state of Ohio didn’t hear, but a lack of regulatory oversight has caused a myriad of problems in the US lately, from Iraq to the economy and beyond.  Now Ohio is close to “putting a fox in charge of the henhouse“.  A proposed deal would put the state [...]

  • House Republicans accept mediocrity

    The Republicans lost 30 seats in the House of Representatives in the 2006 election.  They lost 20 seats this time.   No matter–they are still ok with John Boehner (West Chester) as their leader.   Apparently, they are not taking advice from Republican strategist/pollster Frank Luntz, who said this in an interview [...]

  • Bennett’s got DeWine’s back

    Will Ohio’s social conservatives now come after Republican Chairman Bob Bennett?   After all, when Bennett gave DeWine the dreaded vote of confidence, he basically reiterated DeWine’s comments.  Social issues ranked at the bottom of the list in most cases, sometimes not even ranking at all. That’s not to say they aren’t [...]

  • Columbus Dispatch editorial calls for voting “safeguards” for non-existent problems

    This Columbus Dispatch editorial supports throwing votes away, even when technicalities caused by poll-worker errors create discrepancies.  Why?  Because of voter fraud myth, which it admits is non-existent. “At issue are about 1,000 provisional ballots with defects such as voters failing to print their names and sign the ballot envelopes, as required [...]

  • Ohio GOP playing more games with voting process

    According to the Dayton Daily News, the Ohio GOP is trying to move up the move up the registration deadline in Ohio to 65 days before the election (it is currently at 30 days).  This would end the practice of registering, and then immediately voting by absentee ballot.  Ohioans can [...]

  • Increase payments to PCP’s

    Niko Karvounis and Maggie Maher review the healthcare proposal of Senator Max Baucus (D-MT).   One aspect of the proposal would help rectify one of the truly perverse developments of healthcare–the the low primary care payments in relation to specialists. Baucus rightly recognizes that primary care is “undervalued” in our health care system. The [...]

    Last week, Ohio Republican Party deputy chair Kevin DeWine said his party focuses too much on social issues.  And he paid for those comments.  Now, he is reminding the same social conservatives that he too, can still focus on distracting wedge issues. “I spent eight years in the General Assembly advancing [...]

  • Minority power

    I’ve aways felt that the conservative movement gains more traction while in the minority.  It’s easier for their leaders to preach small government and say “no” when they’re not driving policies.   This passage in a recent Politico article helps reinforce that belief: The New York Times’ Sam Tanenhaus, who edits The [...]

  • Ohio conservatives throwing DeWine under the bus

    It appears that if you are an Ohio Republican, deviation from a socially-conservative message is political suicide.  Witness ORP Deputy Chair Kevin DeWine, who’s crime was to suggest that state Republicans need to focus more on economics than social issues like abortion and gay marriage.  This isn’t sitting well with [...]

    Interesting passage in the PolitickerOH interview with State Rep. William Batchelder. When asked about how he felt about the suggestion that Republicans should focus less on social issues and more on economic issues, Batchelder said both were equally important. “I don’t think it’s valid to indicate that it’s going to be one [...]

  • Can Ohio Senate work in bipartisan manner?

    Seems like there’s been a lot of talk about the need for government in Ohio to continue bipartisan action, now that the Dems have taken over the House.  However when it comes to the soon to be unveiled school funding plan, these statements make it clear that the Republican-led Senate doesn’t plan [...]
