Fix-the-budget commission finally announces meetings
Nearly a year after the passage of the current $50 billion, two-year-state budget, a special legislative commission that’s supposed to help solve a potential $8 billion hole in the next budget finally is getting around to meeting.
Rep. Vernon Sykes, D-Akron, and Sen. Shannon Jones, R-Springboro, - the co-chairs - on Friday, June 18, announced that the first meeting will be on June 29 and the commission will hear from the nonpartisan Ohio Legislative Service Commission.
The second meeting will be on July 7, with presentations from Gov. Ted Strickland’s Office of Budget and Management and the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Additional meetings will be determined by Sykes and Jones, a press release said.

I think this is a case of the bank robbers now working at the bank. There is no need for a ‘show trial’ committee to engage in information sharing which is already on the public record. Stop spending and if the budget doesn’t show black ink, go back to work until it does. Raise fines for speeding, tack on $10 for license plates and drivers license, keep income tax the same, and, we could probably all chip in an additional 2-cent additonal gasoline tax. NOW, go to work and stop wasting the media’s time with this nonsense. DO YOUR JOBS! There are some people sho don’t have jobs.
