The Columbus Dispatch By  Catherine Candisky  and  Jim Siegel

Monday April 8, 2013 3:52 PM  

Ohio will forgo $13 billion in federal aid over the next seven years that would have paid to provide health care to thousands of uninsured Ohioans under a budget plan House GOP leaders will unveil Tuesday, The Dispatchhas learned.

It also would have saved Ohio taxpayers $400 million over the next two years.

Weary from a hard fought Presidential campaign, many Democrats think the heavy lifting is done. That's not the case. We need to stay active, stick together and support our candidates up and down the ticket or suffer the consequences.  click here
