Dayton-area senators win two of four leadership spots

By William Hershey | Monday, January 3, 2011, 02:44 PM

Half of the Republican leadership in the new state Senate will come from the Dayton-area.

Senators Monday chose Sen. Keith Faber, R-Celina, as President Pro Tem, the number two leadership spot, and Sen. Shannon Jones, R-Clearcreek Twp., as Majority Whip, the number four leadership spot.

Faber represents the 12th District which includes Allen, Champaign, Mercer, Preble and Shelby counties and parts of Auglaize and Darke counties.

Jones represents the 7th District which includes Warren County and part of Hamilton County.

Sen. Tom Niehaus, R-New Richmond, was elected Senate President and Sen. Jimmy Stewart, R-Albany, was elected Majority Floor Leader, the number three leadership spot.

Republicans control the Senate, 23-10.

Now Senators let’s get the Right to Work law rolling. Kasich don’t have to do anything but sign it. We got the numbers in the legislature so let’s put an end to BIG LABOR in Ohio for good.

Hogwash, the only people that have gone over the edge were the republicans. It takes someone who has been hoodwinked fooled and bamboozeled to believe anything else. This nation hasnt recovered from the last time the republicans were in charge. Just more misinformation and spin out of the faux noise regurgitators and Ohio is the loser again. Guess we need to start watching the workmans comp fund again so the republicans dont steal it.

I think it is good to have some strength for Republicans again. The Dems have gone over the edge. Absolutely extreme. We need to focus on saving, encouraging companies to be patriotic and keep jobs here at home. Sending jobs to China and expecting money to be here to buy the product is nuts.
