Ohio's next governor says he wants Ohioans to apply for jobs in his administration through a website he's set up to take application and tips on government waste, over-regulation and corruption. The governor-elect has filled one top post - John Kasich appointed Rep. James Zehringer (R-Fort Recovery) as director of the Department of Agriculture, his first cabinet pick this week. The Senate will come back into session in the next week or so to take up the more than 200 appointments made by outgoing Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland. Some GOP senators are threatening to block those appointments.
This month's election results were cheered by conservatives, but left liberals lamenting and progressives pondering. Conservative groups announced the results of the November general election mean voters didn't like the change they got in 2008, and are angry about what's happening with the economy, with government programs and spending that they say are dangerously out of control. But progressives say that Republicans are now in the same spot President Obama was two years ago and that the electorate's frustration and resulting "shellacking" swung the pendulum too far to the right. Talking about the election and the upcoming budget battle are Matt Mayer from the Buckeye Institute, a self-described free market think tank, and Brian Rothenberg from Progress Ohio, a non-profit coalition of left leaning groups and activists.
