Well then, so much for every tax payer left behind

Perhaps it is a sign of the times when working families cannot support their children with a decent quality of education at enormous costs.

Strickland's latest escapade with the new lottery machines (for education....oxymoron?) are another sign that perhaps he has given up on a real solution to education funding in the state of Ohio.

Can the republicans offer a solution? No, they want to privatize schools as an experiment that has failed in Ohio. There is no solution for public education in Ohio at this point. This is a tragedy of leadership here. Pinning hopes on chance is a lousy excuse for progress.

We are left pandering to corporate interests looking for tax breaks and gambling.

Pathetic Ohio.
