Ohio Budget Process On Hold Until Rep. Morgan Works His Way Through Strickland’s Bibliography
Filed under: Education, Education Funding in Ohio, Gov Strickland
I got a chuckle out of this from the Associated Press today:
The House also announced it would delay final action on the budget until after its spring break, pushing expected passage from late March into mid-April. The spending plan has to make it through both the House and Senate before July 1.
One frustrated member of the House Finance committee, Republican Seth Morgan, filed a second public records request with Gov. Ted Strickland seeking a road map to understanding his “evidence-based” school-funding formula.
Morgan’s first request was met with an almost 400-source bibliography of studies and reports upon which the formula is based.
For as long it would take for a child to be born and advance all the way into junior high school, Republicans were in charge of both houses of the Ohio General Assembly. They had the Governor’s Office for four years longer than that. What did they do about public education in Ohio? Not a freaking thing.
Ted Strickland has been all over the state and worked with groups interested in fairly funding public ed and providing a 21st century curriculum for two years. He’s put his plan out there. If you’ve got particular issues, bring them up. But guess what Seth? Evidence-based study is not some right wing home schoolin’ methodology. It means the Governor and others have gone through an intellectual process. The road map is that bibliography. You might want to get reading …

Governor Strickland’s 2009 State of the State address
I’d like to first recognize that one of Ohio’s great leaders, Senate President Bill Harris, was not able to be with us today. I know that he is in all of our thoughts and prayers, and we wish him a very speedy recovery.
Speaker Budish, Senate President Pro Tem Niehaus, Leader Batchelder and Leader Cafaro, Lt. Governor Fisher, statewide elected officials, members of the Cabinet, members of the General Assembly and the Supreme Court, distinguished guests, First Lady Frances Strickland, and my fellow Ohioans…
There was a time when Ohio State University played its football games on a dusty field surrounded by a humble collection of wooden bleachers.
Back then, OSU played teams from universities and small private colleges. They even scheduled a game against the soldiers from an army camp in Chillicothe.
Just after World War I came to an end there was a painful combination of high inflation and high unemployment that produced economic misery in Ohio and across the nation.
It was a truly frightening moment – hardly the time for a bold new idea.
