Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) on Monday appointed Ohio's former elections chief to a spot on the board that oversees repairs and improvements to the state's museums, historical buildings and sports stadiums.
The Republican governor named former Democratic secretary of state and one-time U.S. Senate hopeful Jennifer Brunner (BROO'-ner) to the Ohio Cultural Facilities Commission.
Brunner preceded current Secretary of State Jon Husted (HYOO'-sted) and was defeated in the 2010 Democratic primary where she ran for former-U.S. Sen. George Voinovich's (VOYN'-uh-vihch) vacant seat after his retirement.
She is currently leading the effort to repeal Ohio's recently-approved elections overhaul, which shortens the state's early voting period and bans in-person early voting on Sundays.
Ohio ALWAYS has had Politician Problems.
But in his defense some of these “commissions” are required to have an equal amount of Dems and Gop on them. He may have put her on this nothing “commission” to get her out of the way.
He has put her where she can do the least harm. He didn’t have to do anything for her, she knows it. She can still feel important while also being watched.
Smart move.
All the sports stadiums in Ohio are pretty much new as far as I can tell. Maybe he is just shuttling her off into a do-nothing job.
Kashich is putting Baby in a corner.
