My niece was one of those teachers who had been honored, but who got laid off the same year. She got a teaching job in a private school, and said she will never go back into the public system, even at less pay. I have a feeling many newly laid off teachers will follow her in her footsteps.
If I'm Ohio dictator, I run several of the same provisions through immediately again. Make the unions spend ALL their dirty money. Bankrupt 'em.
Er, it’s not up to Kasich. In fact, what he said was exactly correct: there will be layoffs at the city and county levels because there is no state money to subsidize them. And the cities and counties now will be the bad guys.
#1: Put them on the same status as their fellow citizens in the private sector (the point IIRC of SB5 and Issue 2), that is pay half at least of the cost for their medical benefits, pensions, and other "benefits". #2: Raise taxes on everyone including themselves. #3: Start laying their a**es off by the bus load.
The Inevitable is the shortfall in Ohio State revenues and now Solution #1 has been eliminated. Solution #2 won't fly during a deep recession and as long as we have a Republican governor, House, and Senate or any combination of the three. So we're left with Solution #3. I hope they enjoy all the new free time.
“”Elections have consequences and the 30 million dollar bid by the unions will lead to a lot of unionized employees ending up with nothing at all, simply because we have not what their union demands of us.”

Exactly, because of the labor union rules that have been upheld in this election many of the teachers who are laid off will be among the best teachers.
Yet anther fact Ohio Republicans need to to spend the next year dwelling on, in reminding the people what Union money has fooled them into doing.
The people of Ohio should resent the labor unions that abuse them. So let there be 4 talking points:
1: Ohio will now lose jobs to the rest of the world because of the union imposed cost of operation.
2: Many of the best union employees will be laid off because of the union imposed rules and our inability to pay their price.
3: Public Sector union employees would continue to have their money taken from them to be spent on other political campaigns.
4: The People of Ohio will continue to get diminished services for the money they are forced to pay for the same placing at an ever-greater disadvantage.
5: No matter how much money you give to people to spent it will not stimulate our economy if the cheapest products(which everyone buys) is made in everyone else’s economy.
...nonunion voters opposed Issue 2... 52 percent to 48 percent... moderate voters voted "No"... 70 percent to 30 percent... independent voters... 57 percent to 43 percent. Overall, voters polled say they believe public employees should have collective bargaining rights by a 66 percent to 27 percent.That means the "moderates" are much bigger than the other two "groups".
Voters elsewhere also cast their ballots against Republican overreach, including in Arizona, where citizens recalled Russell Pearce, the Republican president of the state senate known who drafted the state's extreme anti-immigrant law.We need to hang the AFL-CIO (figuratively of course) with this anti-employment, anti-union, anti-American statement. The AFL-CIO can't support the American worker since it supports illegal immigration.
Get ready for the layoffs.
