Here's a state spending practice that the Teabaggers ought to really revolt against...but.....

.....they won't touch it with a 10-foot pole, will they? How 'bout THIS part time job?
In Ohio, teachers salaries start at $33,671 and teacher salaries average $50,314
Firefighter salaries average $42,000 when jobs are available.
And Police salaries average $47,000 across the state.
Taxpayers Revolt! Kasich Hands Out $60,000 Per Year To Casino Commissioners For Part Time Work
By Dave on February 24, 2011
On one hand John Kasich keeps saying that Senate Bill 5 is about balancing Ohio's budget deficit while with the other he hands out huge salaries to his staff of insiders and cronies. Yesterday he announced that Ohio Casino Commissioners will receive $60,000 per year for part time work.
Gov. John Kasich yesterday selected four Republicans, two Democrats and an independent to the Casino Control Commission, which is getting a late start after the GOP-controlled Senate rejected former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland's nominees to the commission in December.
Commission members, who will earn $60,000 a year for part-time work, must act fast to hire a staff and draft rules governing the operations of casinos in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo.
In Ohio, teachers salaries start at $33,671 and teacher salaries average $50,314
Firefighter salaries average $42,000 when jobs are available.
And Police salaries average $47,000 across the state.
How can SB 5 be about the budget when Gov. Kasich keeps handing out money on anything he touches like he's printing it in the Statehouse basement and a top assistant for Gov. John Kasich makes triple what firefighters are paid?
