Ted Strickland, Knight in Shinging Armor Fighting for Educated Ohioans! -- or not.

Governor Ted Strickland, who has proclaimed himself a "champion of education" has decided that being a literate society does not mean we need libraries. I can only assume that by that he means only the very rich should be literate. Anyone who doesn't have the money to purchase books can just sit and wish they could read. He has proposed slashing 50% of the money budgeted towards libraries in Ohio, because he wants to reduce the debt in Ohio's government-- aggressively. Yes, he is actually doing this during a recession. Need I say more?

About Me

Deb
I'm a stay-at-home mom with 5 children (ages 7-14), some of whom are adopted and some of whom have physical special needs, and all of whom are pretty nifty. I started this blog as a chance for me to outlet my thoughts, and to justify how much I talk to myself (I'm thinking through a new blog entry!).
