Draft Bust wins primary
All I have to say is it's a good thing for Schuler Washington D.C doesn't get to vote. His NFL career will certainly give his opponent plenty of easy (if pointless) shots.
* Ken Blackwell won the primary for Ohio's governor race. The truth is his victory upset me. I am not necessarily a fan of Jim Petro, but Petro seemed a bit more socially moderate.
Blackwell's position on abortion (wrong in all cases) and his support of the ridiculous gay marriage ban in 2004 make me think he's not the man I want heading the state. I don't doubt his fiscal conservatism, but a man that uses homosexuals and barn animals in the same sentence should be reason for concern.
There's a difference between believing marrage is between a man and a woman (as many good people believe) and downright homophobia. I think Blackwell crossed that line.

What about Blackwell's tax expenditure limitation proposal, which could handcuff the amounts that municipal governments could spend and prevent them from saving for big-ticket items?
I know it is scaring the pants off a lot of city governments in this state.

In most cases, city governments are not the tax problem. It's the federal and state governments that are taxing us into the poorhouse.

On the surface, it looks like a great, tough-on-government-spending proposal. In reality, it means your city might not be able to buy a new fire truck or snow plows because they won't be able to save for them.
