Funding Sources, Bureaucrats and Lobbyists,
By Bob Rhoades
Gov. Kasich’s recent attack on labor unions has focused on the actual
act of negotiations and arbitration. One of the things that no
one has focused on is state funding in general. There are many forms of
funding for the various state agencies. Many state processes and
agencies are funded simply by the state income taxes that people and
companies pay. Gasoline taxes pay for road improvements.
Fishing and hunting licenses pay for ODNR and keeping our state
wildlife functions funded. There are as many funding sources as
there are agencies. As you can see, if managed correctly, the
funding for the various agencies... Read More. See More

A Man They
Called Martin
By Nancy Rush
Many of you reading this – and hailing from the small village of Union
City – may remember my grandfather, William Martin Elliott, who was
affectionately called “Mart” by those who knew him well. And while my
memories of him will be vastly different from yours, I can only give
you my perspective of a man who seemed larger than life to a small
child. My Grandpa Elliott was many things to many people. He was a

Questionable Benefits, Concealed Impacts
By Paul Driessen
America is running out of natural gas. Prices will soar, making
imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and T Boone Pickens’ wind farm
plan practical, affordable and inevitable. That was then. Barely two

Our last surviving
WWI Veteran, passed away at the age of 110. He was 16 years old when he
lied about his age to enlist. According to an AP story, one of the
things he wanted to see was a memorial for WWI veterans… and was sad
that it didn’t happen. See the tribute to him in News by Redstate. And
Bob Rhoades sheds more light on the role another institution – lobbies
– has played on budget problems. In News:
Our last WWI vet passes away at age 110 and Governors differ on extent
of flexibility for Medicaid. Events:
