Butler County roundup - Children Services, roads and GOP
A few stories you may have missed in the paper this weekend:
- In this story, Miami University professors point out that claims by Butler County officials, state lawmakers and others that data says children do better when raised by a traditional married couple is not correct. In fact, there is no difference between children raised by a man and woman and those raised by a same-sex couple, they say. This speaks to a proposed Children Services policy that would give preference in foster and adoption placement to married couples.
- This is a follow-up story to the one above, where MU professors and marriage advocates agree that children do better when raised by more than one person. This story includes the argument by the Washington D.C.-based Family Research Council, which questions whether the studies put forward by the MU profs is unbiased.
- Orange barrel alert. This story outlines road projects planned by the Butler County Engineer’s Office this year. It includes a great map, so you can find where and when traffic will be snarled near you. I suggest you print it out and tape it to the fridge.
- Here is the coverage of Friday’s Butler County GOP Lincoln Day dinner, which included several rallying speeches by Rob Portman (former Ohio Congressman and Bush White House budget director, and U.S. Senate hopeful) and U.S. Rep, John Boehner, House minority leader from West Chester Twp. It also featured a blast against state Sen. Jon Husted’s campaign for secretary of state by Butler County’s own Sheriff Richard K. Jones.
Any thoughts on any of these stories?

Once again our sheriff makes Butler County look like a backwoods bunch of racist. Will Rickie do a McCain and decide later to vote for him or has he seen the light and going to vote democratic next fall.

I agree that everyone should be here legally but I disagree with the Jones tactics and his hypocrital stand when he makes money off of illegals. Blasting a fellow Republican with his personal convictions rather than his professionalism is irresponsibility and typically short-sighted.
