Dems outline priorities for middle class
Ohio House Democrats outlined a 10-point “Compact with the Middle Class” on Monday and promised to fight against GOP proposals that they say are aimed at stripping away workers’ rights.
The Democrats pledged to work toward creating good paying jobs, protecting worker rights, keeping college tuition affordable, ensuring quality education for preschool through high school students, preserving affordable health care, protecting consumers, fighting against cuts to local government services, preserving veteran services, protecting the environment, and delivering quality care for elder and disabled Ohioans.
House Minority Leader Armond Budish, D-Beachwood, said Gov. John Kasich is pursuing an “extreme, partisan and divisive agenda” by trying to privatize state assets, roll back collective bargaining and cutting state funding for education and other services.

TweetKasich eschews Teleprompter
Unlike Ohio governors before him, when Republican John Kasich delivers his State of the State address on Tuesday afternoon before a packed House chambers, he won’t use a device that scrolls his pre-written speech in front of him.
“I am definitely not using a Teleprompter. That is one thing that is guaranteed,” Kasich said.
The former FoxNews commentator and paid speaker said he won’t be using a scripted text either. And late last week, he said he still wasn’t sure what he would be saying.
“I’ve been speaking for a long time and I don’t normally have a time clock that tells me when I have to do something. I do it when I sort of feel it, feel what I want to say. It could come, literally, at the last few minutes,” Kasich said.
