Boehner Doesn't Care About Ohio


* It is just sad that people just keep electing John Boehner when he does absolutely nothing to help his constituents and the state of Ohio. Boehner's constituents are really the corporate titans and far right, rich guys, with lots of money. As a result of Boehner's disregard for Ohio, we'll face some big, big problems if/when Boehner's sequester plan kicks into force.

DailyKos has some of the hits Ohio will face:

  • Ohio will lose approximately $25.1 million in funding for primary and secondary education, putting around 350 teacher and aide jobs at risk.
  • In addition, Ohio will lose approximately $22 million in funds for about 270 teachers, aides, and staff who help children with disabilities.
  • In Ohio, approximately 26,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by around $161.4 million in total. Army: Base operation funding would be cut by about $1.9 million in Ohio....
