legislative updates

3.12.24 – I wanted to post this OEA legislative watch page – things for we/us to keep an eye on for public education

Here is an entire page of resources to help you keep an eye on things at the state level

here is the most recent – JANUARY 2023

August 10

yesterday on August 9th I (Nate) had the opportunity to screen candidates for upcoming elections – I spent all day doing this and it was a very worthwhile endeavor. These screenings are recommendations that are sent to OEA for their support – so YES – the members, your peers from around Ohio screen the candidates that OEA supports – we “interviewed” D’s and R’s…I think we had about 10 on the agenda – when the announcements are made I will update here candidates for you to consider this Fall – !!

August 8th – 

really good listen here about how and why Ohio is the new standard bearer for the drift toward authoritarianism and how rampant gerrymandering has created an Ohio congress that is out of step with the voters – and they don’t care – its the Jane Mayer interview regarding Ohio’s lurch to the right – is this a link – use whatever podcast app you like – search for the New Yorker Radio Hour
