There are so many screwed up areas of the .gov that you can't even figure out where to start to fix it. .... it's honestly pathetic

If the waste and abuse of taxpayers monies were whittled down to a minimum, maybe we’d get a better product. Maybe a DOGE should be implemented at the various state levels to make sure we’re getting what we pay for. The BS in place now doesn’t seem to be working too well.
Seems like the more money that gets added to the coffers, the worse it gets.

The property tax thing will completely screw over many school districts in Ohio.

IIRC the Ohio Supreme Court ruled two decades ago that school funding through property taxes was against the state constitution. Just nothing has ever been done about it. The one thing that always bothered me was that they'll lose a school tax levy then start a second more covert attempt and get it on some random ballot in April. There won't be a huge public campaign, yard signs, etc just quietly to their supporters, teachers etc and get it passed. I've always said that if a school levy fails it should be barred from retrying for a year, and only allowed on large ballots like for state and federal congressmen, presidential, etc, and not special elections.
