Republicans to debate Ohio union bill for weeks

Ohio’s promissory note removes health care and some other benefits from the bargaining progress for unions representing some 300,000 workers including police, firefighters, and notorious school teachers. It also denies them the fit to strike.

Outside the State Capitol in Columbus, protesters shouted “Shame forward you” and “We’ll remember this.”

In Indiana, the ~issimo assembly was not in session. But in that place are between six and 10 proposals — ranging from lawful-to-work legislation to private institute vouchers — that Democrats say be imminent workers and that they pledge to arrest.

Of the 40 Democrats in the 100-component House, two show up to be of advantage sure the House cannot act independently of a 67-vote quorum, with the rest remaining in Illinois at which place they fled on February 21. Republicans clutch a solid 37-13 majority in the Indiana senate.
