[OPLINLIST] Governor's Press Conference

[Nancy Levin]

We have been encouraging our patrons to call the Governor all along.
When answering the phone his staff says they are taking a tally of what
subject you are calling about only. One of our local coffee shops called
and said they had 14 people there who object to cutting the library
budget and the staffer said they would mark 14 calls.

Subject: Re: [OPLINLIST] Governor's Press Conference

 

In today's news conference, Governor Strickland repeatedly stated that
he is awaiting suggestions, any suggestions, from the Ohio Senate. He
accused senate leadership of playing politics with the budget process
and that their inaction was hurting Ohio, its citizens, and costing the
state of Ohio millions of dollars. He said that if the senate did not
like his 2010-2011 budget "framework" with its call for "Video Lottery
Terminals" and steep cuts with no tax increases, they ought to come up
with a comprehensive plan of their own.  I'm sure it will all be on the
news tonight.

You may also reach it by going to www.ohiochannel.org
<http://www.ohiochannel.org/>  and click on the Governor's page. I am
wondering, at what point do we decide to encourage our patrons to
contact the Governor directly? If at all? Interested in hearing what
your library's advocacy status is this week.
