To these Republicans, I take off my hat......

From John Curry, March 3, 2011

Republican Sens. Tim Grendell of Chesterland and Bill Seitz of Cincinnati spoke out against that provision. Grendell said the process would turn workers into beggars before city councils and other officials who oversee them. "No one can be a judge and advocate in their own cause," Seitz said. "That's called heads I win, tails you lose."

During the debate, the chamber defeated Democrats' request to have the entire bill read aloud. GOP Sen. Scott Oelslager of North Canton sided with Democrats on that issue, as he did on the bill.

To the sponsor of the bill, Shannon Jones (R-Teabaggerville), I will ingest a cough drop!

"Jones said the bill is not an attack on the middle class, prompting snickering and coughs from members of the public in the crowded room."
