The latest monthy state-by-state unemployment data available here should give pause to GOP activists who seek to blame Gov. Ted Strickland for Ohio's woes. The GOP runs most of the states that are worse off. Playing a blame game could tar a lot of Republican governors. Ohio now stands [...]
What brings Ted Strickland, Bill Harris, Bill Batchelder, Armond Budish, Chris Redfern, Kevin DeWine, and Tom Moyer together in the same room, without resulting in bloodshed or the selling of our state to Michigan in return for casino revenues?
