Trouble in Ohio Democratland
From The Dispatch:
Barbara A. Sykes, the former lawmaker who heads the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, could become a casualty of the panel’s unsuccessful bid to require employers to offer 12 weeks of pregnancy leave.
Gov. Ted Strickland, who appointed the Akron Democrat as chairwoman of the five-member panel, “is not inclined” to support Sykes when she faces the state Senate for confirmation, Strickland spokesman Keith Dailey said yesterday. Sykes has been serving on the commission since her appointment in August.[…]
“I think it’s very unfortunate that the commission chose to disregard the concerns that I raised,” Strickland said, adding that he is not inclined to support “people who do not feel as if they could cooperate with me on such a reasonable request.”
On this occasion, I will post my favorite YouTube production ever to come out of the Ohio GOP:
