Paid Sick Days Issue Coming Off the Ballot Puts Issue in Proper Venue - Federal - and Saves Governor’s and Others Resources for Defeat of Republicans in November
The right decision was made today by the coalition which had worked to the Ohio paid sick days measure on the state ballot. As had been argued here and elsewhere, albeit a noble cause, the timing and micromanaging nature of the proposal couldn’t have been worse. By working with Governor Ted Strickland and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown to find a different path for the issue, Ohioans for Healthy Families will allow progressives all over Ohio to focus singly on defeating Republicans at the polls this November.
The plight of the American worker - or the opportunity for an American to find meaningful work - will not be improved by returning the White House or the Statehouse to another term of Republican leadership. Onward to the sound of battle!
