Shannon.....just a simple question......

From John Curry, October 23, 2011

Senator Shannon Jones,

I was just reading a little about you in an article in the Youngstown newspaper which confirmed what I believed to be true.....that your sponsored SB 5 still has had zero co-sponsors added to it since it was introduced in the Ohio Senate over eight months ago (Feb 1, 2011) and introduced into the Ohio House over seven months ago (March 3, 2011). Usually, when a bill is popular, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle and in both the Ohio House and the Ohio Senate can't wait to add their name to a bill. Why is it, that in the case of your sole sponsored SB5, there are yet no sponsors or co-sponsors other than you? Please explain this phenomenon to me. I must be missing something here.

Sincerely,

John Curry

P.S. Here's the confirmation from that Vindy.com newspaper article:

“Taxpayers don’t want to provide government with more resources,” said Jones, the lone sponsor of Senate Bill 5.
