Metzenbaum was a real piece of work. He was also a rabid anti-gun zealot.
There’s an old cartoon I remember about republicans screwing over the poor people.
The republicans finally took control over Ohio by eliminating the “Echeck” program (auto tail pipe emissions testing) and it’s results. If you had any kind of vehicle that could tow a boat or trailer you failed. It was hilarious to watch, I’ve never seen so many pissed off people. I had a guy standing next to me with a clipboard. The guy testing failed my van, but ran it through again because of the guy with the clipboard. It passed the second try.
I imagine the current EPA talks are making Ohioans nervous again, lol.
