ODP Statement on Restoration of “Golden Week” in Ohio
May 24, 2016

Ted Strickland sent a letter today to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Andy Slavitt detailing concerns he has with proposed changes to Ohio’s Medicaid program that could result in prohibitive costs and loss of coverage to Ohio Medicaid recipients. The full text of the letter is below.
Gov. John Kasich has spent more than 177 days out of state — that’s a figure from last month, it’s certainly gone up since then — and he’s spent more than $350,000 of Ohioans’ tax dollars on security for out-of-state travel to bolster his failing presidential run.
Read State Representative Kathleen Clyde’s (D-75th District/Kent) op ed that ran in the Akron Beacon Journal over the weekend with her closing argument for why Ohio’s Secretary of State Jon Husted should stop waiting around for the legislature and just switch on online voter registration in Ohio NOW. That way we’ll have plenty of time for easier registration before the November general election. Please share this op ed with your social networks by using the hashtag #SwitchItOnJohn.
