Rep. Morgan seeks “evidence-based” school records from Gov. Strickland
State Rep. Seth Morgan, R-Huber Heights, is having a tough time getting what he wants from Gov. Ted Strickland.
Morgan on Wednesday, March 25, sent a second public records request to Kent Markus, Strickland’s chief legal counsel, for the material that forms the basis of Democrat Strickland’s “proposed education funding formula known as the evidence-based model.”
Morgan made an error in each request. He spelled Markus’ last name “Marcus.”
Amanda Wurst, Strickland’s spokeswoman, said the governor intends “to provide additional material that may be responsive to the request.”
She didn’t provide a definite time.
“We will work through it as quickly as possible,” she said.
Strickland’s office already has provided 400 references to source material used to develop the education plan, Wurst said.
“It has now been eight business days since an initial public records request was hand delivered in a letter dated March 12, 2009,” Morgan wrote. “I am deeply concerned by the fact that - to date- I have not received any correspondence, either written or verbal, from your office regarding this request.”
Morgan’s letter said Strickland’s office had not been following the policy and procedure it set up to handle public records requests.
“I believe without accurate and complete information we are doing a considerable disservice to Ohio’s greatest asset for the future, our children,” Morgan wrote.

Morgan is out of his league in Columbus. He will flounder on insignificant issues for the remainder of his career.By Modern Esquire

It’s only been eight days, and he’s already been disclosed over 400 references to the source material used in making the plan. Sounds like the freshman member of the minority is getting a little too “diva” in Columbus already. Either that or he’s just trying to bog down the Governor’s office with extensive public records requests.
