Strickland due in Dayton Friday for “ceremonial” bill signing
Gov. Ted Strickland is set to be in Dayton at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 17, for a “ceremonial bill signing” at Thurgood Marshall High School, according to an advisory from the governor’s office.
It will be one of two Dayton-area stops for Strickland on Friday.
The bill is expected to be House Bill 1, the state budget bill, which the governor probably would sign officially before the ceremonial event in Dayton.
As of Thursday afternoon, however, Strickland still had not received the budget bill to sign. The House and Senate passed the bill on Monday.
If the bill is not ready for Strickland to sign, the governor is expected to discuss education reforms in the budget bill at Thurgood Marshall High School.
His second Friday event in Dayton is set for 6:15 p.m. when he is to give brief remarks at the National Aviation Hall of Fame.

Oh, but his heart is in the right place. He feels your pain…. Next election, the voters need to explore the budget prowess of the candidates,not the feel the love rhetoric. When the stimulus money goes away, the state will require more cost cutting or new sources of revenue. Either way, there will be no place to hide.By outraged

Steve, not only do I hope the custodial staff is the only ones there, but I hope they turn around so all he sees is their backs. It would be a nice metaphor for the fact that he turned his back on so many at-risk citizens during their biggest time of need. And, anyone who thinks he is a savior for education needs to actually read this monstrosity of a bill. Elimination of our early college academies and elimination of the early learning initiative the two most proven education programs this state has ever had – how does that make sense. His only concern was trying to get reelected, not what was right for the citizens of Ohio.By steve

I hope he and the custodial staff are the only ones there. This budget is nothing to celebrate with a public signing. It cuts the entire funding to DECA - a school that is successful while my understanding is there’s a new charter school being built in the old Superpetz on Turner Rd??? That’s ridiculous!
