Ohio likely protected from Trump's nationwide day care funding pause, DeWine office says

DeWine should have “part of the problem” tattooed on his forehead.

“It’s different when we do it.”

“The DeWine administration said Ohio’s day care system is fundamentally different from other states...”

Meaning they think they’re better at gaming the system.

Know what protects a state from having its federal funds halted?

Not committing fraud.

I know, crazy concept.

DeWine was already dirty; now he’s getting desperate.

So now non-immigrant tax-paying Americans in Ohio know who to blame for allowing fraud payments to continue unabated. Mike is either getting kickbacks from this scheme or he’s a sniveling coward who doesn’t want to upset the criminals funding his political contributions. 🤬

Every state will be protected by some judge’s injunction that is sure to come.

DeWine still has to prove it. Talk is cheap. We know his family was profiting somehow off Haitian refugees.

“What is it with OH?”

Wasn’t DeWine’s predecessor the mailman’s son John Kasich?

Ya know...I’m a 70-year-old Buckeye and truly love my great state.

There are great comments here
about potential Ohio fraud.

I accept them as I have personally dealt with some fringe elements of it.

Agreed...Dewine is a 5’-4” RINO weasel, and I feel he has his hands involved with the Haitian settlement in Springfield OH.

Thanks. The article confirms what I expected. DeWine hopes he’ll be immune from blame because Ohio has an attendance-based payment system, that requires checking in and out with a photo id (isn’t that racist?) and a Personal Identification Number.

Unfortunately, all it takes to get around that is to have the parents/handlers bring by the children, check in, leave with the children, and come back to check out and get their payoff later that day. And no crooked operator would ever think of collecting photo ids and PINs so they can log in the children without even needing for them to stop by. If DeWine thinks this is stopping fraud, the ripoff must be massive.
