Republican State Rep. Jon Cross goes off on Donovan O'Neil with Americans for Prosperity in this morning's House Finance Committee meeting. O'Neil wants expansions of Ohio's voucher program. Cross wants the state to focus on funding for public schools instead. #Ohio #education
Thanks to @MorganTrau for helping me through my technical difficulties on this tweet.
@joingles That guy is totally out of touch with his base.
@joingles Which by the way, Rep Jon Cross is a co-sponsor of HB11 the Backpack Bill.
@joingles @jayleeson common sense knows no state boundaries. Keep up your amazing fight.
@joingles Education welfare checks (vouchers) should be abolished, not expanded.
@joingles Wow! A Republican standing up for public education?! 👏 Perhaps he didn't understand what the backpack bill does. 😆
@joingles I've seen much worse. But that happened before these folks were born. So the fact that this is causing comment is probably a good thing, as it implies society's norms have changed. Hmm...probably due to the presence of video now everywhere. Or it could just be the cycle.
