Amen to the Rooster for compiling this GOP sham!

Reps Swearingen and LaRe want two miles of I-70 to be named Donald Trump Freedom Highway (HB 638). Yes, let's name our roads after convicted felons and rapists and grifters. How out of touch are these guys? How about proposing legislation that actually helps people!

If that happened, those signs would be defaced in a matter of hours. Not a good idea.

I had the same thought, that they might not last long. Such a shame to waste our tax dollars on such nonsense.

Whether charter schools, business development, or sports, the game played by the rich and powerful is the same. Put as much public money into private pockets as possible. Ohio Republicans love to play that game! And my country cousins in rural Ohio are struggling too hard to make a buck and take care of their families to understand they are being played.

Thanks for laying this out so well

Thank you— perfect post. Last time I looked Larry Householder was not Somali, nor was Sam Randazzo. Nor are William Lager* nor was David Brennan of the White Hat Schools, another guy that robbed Ohio's education fund. And Jimmy Haslam is not to my knowledge Somali either. Bit if anyone wants to deport him to Somalia, I'm down with it. By the way, I've been reading the research on the economic (non) benefits of stadiums for years and no football stadium anywhere in the country has been an economic boost to the market it's in. Not one.

* Yost's ONLY job as auditor was to make sure tax dollars were not being squandered. For dereliction of duty, he should be in prison — sharing a cell with Frankie "Jim Crow" LaRose, who will always be my least favorite Ohio politician.
