Ohio Loses a Republican

Our Comrade, Becca Lower, is pulling the plug on Ohio.  An Ohio native, she's taking the big step Westward and headed to Phoenix Arizona.  Arizona is rated #7 now in business friendliness, as compared to Ohio's 25th place.

Good for her!

We'll miss her, but this is a good move for her.  As you know, I have my own criticisms of the state.

Here are Becca's:

There’s nothing wrong with Cincinnati, necessarily. Well, there is the fact that the state itself is trending toward stagnation and liberalism, rife with aging dinosaurs looking to lead the state Republican party ever onward to more compromises with a growing, progressive left. Our governor, the “compassionate conservative” John Kasich, decided that it would be “the right thing to do” to cut a deal with the Obama Administration on expanding Medicaid, over the will of the people of Ohio and her elected majority GOP legislature. We have a Speaker of the House (yes, I live in John Boehner’s district) who waffles and weaves… and sobs his way to overwhelming election wins, every two years. Really, the less said about him, the better, don’t you think?

Happy Trails, Comrade Becca!

On the bright side, Ohio has adopted a new technology for capital punishment.  From the Onion:
