The voters spoke last week by electing a cost-cutting Republican majority to both houses of the Ohio legislature and every statewide office, not to mention the U.S. House. In our region, voters signaled spending fatigue as they rejected school levies and city income tax issues by the dozens. So, what now? How will our new representatives make the cuts and fill the budget holes? How will schools pare costs to fit shrinking budgets? And how can we become part of the discussion that on reshaping government?
