Ohio Bulletin - Libraries

WARNING TO ALL OHIOANS!

The State of Ohio, which has currently given us the third highest state and local tax burden in the nation, somehow can't seem to control its ravenous spending.

They want to cut the budget for libraries by half.

Notice that they've recently cut the budget for libraries to the point where our locals have closed one day a week.

Granted, they want money to pay state employees to run non-profits to collect money from taxpayers for state programs. Say what???

They always seem to cut where it injures people...education (like the libraries), health care...is that a way to justify raising the taxes again when the economy improves? Can't they go through the budget and find the programs that impact normal humans the least?

We can't do it...the state is too backward to have the budget online.

Anyway, call Gov Strickland (614)466-3555 and call your state reps and sens. Tell them NO more LIBRARY CUTS!!!
