A Round Up?

Here are a few of the stories I found interesting on the some Ohio blogs I've started following in the past couple weeks.

Over at Ohio Daily Blog there's a story all about Jennifer Brunner's proposed election reforms, based on her review of the 2008 election. Check it out!

Also at Ohio Daily Blog there's a report that Hamilton County Commissioner David Pepper is considering a run for the State Auditor position...after his showing in the 2006 Commissioner race, I think he could have an interesting career!

@ Porkopolis I found an interesting editorial defending torture as a limited use tool in our immune system. I'm not sure it's wrong, but I'm far from certain it's right.

Bret Thompson at Progress Ohio gave us an update on a grass roots effort to restore funding for the Ohio Historical Society to the budget.

Also at Progress Ohio, Dave Harding had a story on Obama signing the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. I think this is a very worthy bill, fitting of the times...good to see it being reported on!

Last but not least, @ Writes Like She Talks Jill Miller Zimon has a very justified about the apparant lack of concern for women in Ohio, the only state in the Union without any organization on record.

And that's all the reading I feel like linking to! I'm sure once you follow these, you can find plenty more to tickle your fancy.

See ya next week!

A BIGGER Budget??

Sorry it's late today...don't hold it against me too much!

Evidently, the House Democrats are being even more optimistic with their revenue projections than Strickland was. You see, they've expanded the budget to $54.4 billion...with worthy programs, sure. But I dunno how wise the spending is, never the less. My inner conservative is coming out.

It's only the first round of changes before the full House vote tho, so...we'll see. Check it out at the Dispatch.

That's all I have today, folks...I'll be bringing you a round up of stories from around the Ohio blogs on Friday!

I Should Have an Update...

...but I spent the weekend breaking up with my girlfriend. So...yeah, no blogging got done, sorry.

However, I think I'll be back up to speed by Wednesday's posting time, so bear with me.

Thanks for checking in.
