Kasich now urging voters to reject local school levies

Teachers and John Kasich were not friendly during the last gubernatorial campaign. According to Kasich, teachers unions “smeared record and distorted it” and he insisted they take out full page ads in every newspaper to apologize to him. Kasich also promised to “break the back of organized labor in the schools” and he meant it.

He started with Senate Bill 5 which, in military terms, could be considered a series of air strikes intent on destroying his enemy’s defenses. If passed into law, SB5 would seriously impact the effectiveness of teachers to collectively bargain – opening up an opportunity for the full on ground assault that is his budget.

Kasich didn’t even bother to try to hide his hatred of teachers when he created his budget. He severely cut funding for schools hoping they would fire or reduce the salaries of teachers to help make up the difference. And he completely removed minimum pay scales for teachers to help assist in the process.

According to Bill Cohen at WOSU John Kasich is now urging voters to “reject proposals to raise local taxes” and “he’s pressuring schools to operate with less money” by cutting teachers’ salaries.

1. Republicans are greasing the skids for this country's slide into oblivion.

I see it as a form of legislative treason.

the Republicans.

2. For the life of

me I do not understand this one. Is he worried that he will get the blame. OH wait it is his fault that the schools have to ask us for more money. It is up to us to vote for our school not Kasich.
