This morning, Joel Riley of 610 AM WTVN in Columbus spent three hours discussing the Buckeye Institute’s proposal for merit pay for Ohio teachers. Below is Joel’s discussion with David Hansen, President of the Buckeye Institute:
The entire show is available on WTVN’s podcasting page.
The Buckeye Institute’s Mike Maurer discusses the governor’s economic agenda, the federal bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and what it means to be a conservative with Ohio Republican Rep. William G. Batchelder. A 32-year legislative veteran, Rep. Batchelder is the dean of Ohio conservatives.
State Rep. Josh Mandel (R-Lyndhurst) joins Buckeye Institute President David Hansen to discuss his support for special needs vouchers, his opposition to Gov. Strickland’s misguided so-called stimulus bill, and his support for Rep. John Adam’s State Income Tax elimination bill. A Marine Corps officer who has served two tours of duty in Iraq, Rep. Mandel also gives his perspective on the progress of the war.
A first term legislator, Rep. Mandel is quickly becoming a steadfast voice for conservative principles in the Ohio House of Representatives.
With the Senate passage of SB 57, the special needs voucher, children with disabilities are one step closer to receiving the type of educational options they vitally need. The measure now goes to the Ohio House for hearings and a vote. Buckeye Institute Education Policy Analyst Beth Lear discusses the initiative with David Hansen on Buckeye Voices.
The Evergreen Freedom Foundation’s Labor Policy Analyst Scott Dilley discusses labor union accountability with Buckeye Institute President David Hansen.
National Review Reporter Stephen Spruiell joins David Hansen on Buckeye Voices to discuss his article “Factory-Sized Deception - Obama, freely trading in dishonesty.” Spruiell argues that Barack Obama’s campaign misled Ohio voters by blaming NAFTA for specific plant closings in Ohio
Conservative columnist and best selling author Robert Novak joins Buckeye Institute President David Hansen for a casual discussion about his new book “The Prince of Darkness” and the state of the presidential election in Ohio and nationally.

In addition, Dr. Thorning warns Ohioans’ electricity costs will increase by 30% to 38% by 2020 and 126% to 177% by 2030.
