Strickland has put out a statement directed at the tens of thousands that are protesting the Governor’s decision to slash the funding of Ohio’s libraries.
My framework to balance the state budget includes a reduction in state aid to libraries in order to minimize the impact of $2.43 billion in spending reductions that will impact services for our most vulnerable, especially children, the elderly and disabled. These cuts will help to address the $3.2 billion budget gap without raising taxes on Ohio families and blah blah blobbity blah…….
Honestly, Strickland could have just released this picture and said the same thing.
