It would seem that such legislaton would encourage hiring more illegals if the employer wouldn't have their incidents added to his company's experience.

This person is not doing her job and should be charged with malfeasance in my opinion. The guv should do himself a big favor and dump her.

Rachel MAddow discussed Ohio's voting issue this evening. I cannot for the life ofmy why the citizens, ALL CITIZENS of Ohio are not rising up in mass and demanding their legislators to knock this stuff off??? The republican party is determined to keep as man Democratic voters from voting as possible! I know Repubs hate Libs but this is American. As Deomocrat I would furiously fight against anything that would rob the ability to vote from Republicans! If you Republicans allow this to happen do you honestly think that at some point the GOP will decide some of YOU should not be allowed to vote? It's just a matter of time. This is a slippery slope you people are embarking upon. If you Republican voters allow this to happen, shame on you.....you will have become something you should be very ashamed of! ou support the Constitution? PROVE IT!

You can be proud of yourself Paula Wilt. Your efforts in repealing SB5 have caused an additional 2,300 union layoffs at the state level! ...keep up the good work, you're doing a better job at getting rid of the corrupt unions than the Republicans are!

After watching the worst governor {Ted Strickland (D)} in Ohio's history almost destroy our economy by losing a record 421,000 jobs and 2 electoral votes for the state, governor Kasich(R) is a breath of fresh air! What the Democrats do not have the ability to comprehend is that high taxes , corrupt unions, and bad workmans comp. and unemployment laws are precisely what drove major corps. and businesses out of our state! Kasich has slowed the job loss down to a trickle and has a handle on a very bad situation that socialists have created here! ...one thing is for certain, there will be no more record job losses under Gov. Kasich(R)!!!!!

Ohio Environmental Pollution Agency... or rather... Ohio Environmental Prostitution Agency!
At least they wouldn't have to waste tax payer dollars to reprint business cards, letterhead, etc with a new acronym.

How can anyone say teachers make more than MOST others do. This is an ignorant statement. More than a grocery clerk or more than a banker? More than a hospital attendant or more than a doctor?

You forgot to mention to Bill how all of our students are very respectful and address us as Ma'am and Sir, are eager to learn, come to school with paper and pencils, and all have parents that support us and make sure their children are doing homework, eating breakfast, and listening and participating in class.

Working 30 to 35 years at the same job is not retiring early. You assume everyone starts at age 21, not so much anymore folks.

...and we buy school supplies, materials not provided, technology, tissue, paper towels, hand sanitizer, incentives for students, and much much more. Can you imagine a business man bringing in a box of tissue for all to use? We even buy cleaning supplies. Teachers spend a lot of their own money on things not provided. We are generous with our students.

For all of those who have gotten warnings on traffic stops by police can say bye bye to those. SB5 will make officer pay based on performance and merit. Every officer in Ohio will be citing everyone they stop. And those(officers) who didn't like traffic enforcement in the past, will be all about working for their raises!!

Really? Are you saying teachers do not plan their lessons? Really? Please come spend ONE day with me. ONE day. There are many misconceptions out there.

Half my paycheck went to my son's day care while I was caring for 180 other children.

Oh good Lord! You have no clue about what really goes in to teaching. It should be paid HIGHER than it is because it's so important, it's so complex, and the level of responsibility is so high. As one teacher at an anti-SB5 rally had on her sign, "Please care about me as much as I care about your kids."

Man are you people who are for SBr insane, look at the bill there is a 57 page analysis of the bill and Kasich and others that support it are donwright lying, red it for yourself. Kasich and his boys have made Ohio the only State in the US who has a liqupr establisment in the State Capitol and Kasich just gave his staff raises, this is ludicrous, they just want to put down the working class and middle income people. My wife works for the State and has for 23 years, she has always paid for healtcare and her pension is a joke, she make less than 30k a year, look at the administration you will not find anyone making less than 50 or 60 k and most of them get full health care, so beware of the Myth websites, because they are the BS, if you vote be smart and read the issues and bills.

SB5 does nothing to prevent "Double Dipping" and we pay for our health benefits. you might want actually read the bill before you start talking out of your rear end

Well Mr. John Q., Vote to get rid of the perks that our federal and state politicians have voted for them selves, and this nations budget would be a hell of a lot closer to being budgeted, don't ya think. After all do you get a milage budget to drive to work?
Our state politician do. Do you get free health care. Hell no. Do you make six figures a year? Don't think so. Congress men and senators get their full six figure pay for the rest of their lives while stealing from social security and other private retirement funds. Unless you take time to see what goes on behind the scenes in school buildings on a regular basis. You know nothing. Where the money problems lie are at the school board level. Where I work School board personel get at least $80.00
per meeting and have meetings alot more than once a month. While our contract was being foze because the superintendent said the district was broke, the Treasurer got a $15,000.00 bonus. and the athletic director got a &20,000.00 bonus while the sports teams have to pay to play. Don't even tell me the problems lay with paying police, fireman and teachers, or support staff for the schools. You are not a policeman standing the line against drugs and crime, your not a fireman running into a burning building to save lives, and the way you are talking you aren't a teacher. If you want to home school your children be my guest. Don't even start complaining if someone comes out and says they want to shrink your income, because I won't listen to you. If you want to spend less tax money for public employees in the school systems take it from people at the top. They are the ones who don't pay their medical, or retirement but still for the most part make six figure incomes.

Who ever votes for sb-5 will learn in the not so distant future that the next step that our government will take is to erase the unions in orivate industry to help the powers that be , that give the polititains their campaign money. So if you want America to be a third world nation like Obama is trying to succeed in doing go ahead and vote for
senate bill sb-5. If you people out there want the national budget taken care of do away with the high saleries and free perks that the politicians have voted for them selves. That's where the buget problems lay.
