Week 4 Recap: Ohio's "Mini Lame-Duck" Session

<p>This past week there was not much movement to note on priority education bills, but it was still a busy week at the statehouse. During this episode we discuss Ohio HB 795, which claims to combat Medicaid "fraud" but in reality would devastate programs that many of our residents rely on, and Senate Joint Resolution 10, a proposal that would enshrine the most restrictive voter ID requirements in the U.S. into the Ohio Constitution.</p><p>We are tired of our state leaders spending time, energy, and our hard-earned tax dollars on harmful legislation that does not help any residents or alleviate the impacts of the affordability crisis, and we're sure you are too. These are certainly things we all need to remember when going to the voting booth later this year.</p><p>We wrap up the episode with some good news. This week, Honesty for Ohio Education launched the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://vouchersarentfree.org/">Voucher Accountability Project</a>—a campaign that serves to educate Ohioans about the voucher scam and equip engaged individuals with resources and tools to keep public funds public. We also discuss a good bill. SB 443, which would create accountability and transparency for public dollars spent on private school vouchers.</p><p></p>
