BREAKING...On TRMS, Rachel is reporting

That Ohio Governor and his puke allies decided to stand down, they will forgo their efforts to destroy the unions...etc. I guess this is in response to the Democratic success in the WI recall elections.

That would be the smart thing for them to do.

Ah lucid moments! Can they be over-valued? I think not.

Well, the voters in Ohio were prepared to repeal SB 5 in November...

I found this since I don't own a tv and haven't been following what's going on in OHIO.

"Governor & legislative leaders call for compromise on SB5"

They want to save what they can of the bill in order to allow some of it to have the effect of law. Remember the bill is not in effect until the vote. They would rather part of a loaf than none.

Yes, they see the polls and know the bill is destined to be repealed. I think it's time Democrats do what Republicans do - say they are open to the idea, then do nothing about it.

They should say "Let's let the people decide."

We Are Ohio Sends Response to Governor, Senate President and Speaker of the House
By Dave on August 18, 2011 2:02 PM

Quote:COLUMBUS - Today We Are Ohio responded in writing to Governor John Kasich, Senate President Tom Niehaus and Speaker of the House William Batchelder. We Are Ohio, the broad-based coalition, reinforced our commitment to our thousands of volunteers and 1.3 million supporters by asking the government leaders to repeal all of Senate Bill 5.

"While we thank the Governor, Senate President and Speaker of the House for reaching out and recognizing that the bill is flawed, we are asking for a fresh start," said Melissa Fazekas, spokeswoman for We Are Ohio. "That fresh start must begin with a full repeal of Senate Bill 5. A complete repeal of Senate Bill 5 would go a long way toward creating an environment for compromise, restoring trust in government by the electorate and setting the table for meaningful negotiations about creating jobs, rebuilding Ohio's economy and moving the state forward. Due to the complexity of the bill and our responsibility to the 1.3 million Ohioans who want to repeal it, We Are Ohio strongly believes a full repeal of Senate Bill 5 must occur prior to any meeting. Upon repeal of Senate Bill 5, we look forward to coming together as Ohioans to make our state a better place to live,work and raise a family, just like our public employees - firefighters, nurses, teachers and police officers -- do every day in their jobs."
