Repeal of HB 70 (HB 154) passes the House with only 12 opposition votes
HB 154 moved through the House quickly, but not as quickly as HB 70 was passed by the 131stGeneral Assembly. The following Representatives voted against the repeal:

Whereas the public education organizations were in adamant support of the HB 70 repeal, right on cue the Fordham Institute opposed to repeal. A Fordham fellow said the state has an obligation to taxpayers and families. Fordham needs to be concerned about the hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds that have squandered by charters and the tens of thousands of students that have been ill-served by charters.
Enormous pressure must be applied to the Senate to gain support of HB 154. The Governor’s budget contains a mishmash of HB 70 “reform” twaddle allegedly crafted by the State Superintendent. Public comments by some politicians indicate some Senators may prefer some version of the twaddle in the budget proposal.
HB 70 was a colossal mistake and must be repealed entirely.
One of the “nays” listed was Rep. Scott Lipps. He’s part of the Koch ALEC slime in Ohio.
Lipps’ staff claims his specialty is healthcare policy which means his goal is finding a way to screw the 99% so business healthcare executives can make a fortune and oligarchs can govern.
Drinking the kook aid is easy.
Visiting college campuses and meeting with financial officers must be irresistible. I know so many who are in huge debts … at least $250,000. Some haven’t even graduated; they dropped out and are lost living at home or parents pay their rent and other expenses. These young people are also depressed and strung out.
I also know parents who have purchased cars, plastic surgery, condos, townhomes, and even houses for their kids, and call their kids UNGRATEFUL.
Can’t make this stuff up.
America has a mental health crisis and most don’t notice, and those who do are the ones doing the spinning. These people are also the ones who are the sickest. Holy cow.
kook aid. There it is….. 🙂
