Dear Editor:
Gee, you think the Plain Dealer editorial board would like to be able to take back its endorsement of John Kasich as Governor.
Shouldn’t Gov. Kasich have given one of his white-only cabinet posts to Kevin O’Brien of the PD? He’d fit so nicely.
We now have as Governor at a very dangerous economic time for Ohio — not only a light-weight thinker — but one who wants to make drastic changes with very little examination of what he is doing. He’s playing a conservative but he’s acting radical. Thoughtlessly so.
For those who want a dose of reality about what’s going on in Columbus I suggest they put on their “favorites” list a site called Plunderbund. It’s giving a blow-by-blow account of the Columbus disaster.
The site can be accessed at http://Plunderbund.com.
Sincerely,
Roldo Bartimole
