I would like to express my frustration regarding an issue that is before the Ohio House. This is an issue that all Ohioans need to make a priority, as it will have a drastic effect on our future. House Bill 119 threatens to pull the Ohio College Opportunity Grant (OCOG) from students seeking enrollment at a proprietary (for-profit) school. Currently OCOG is determined by financial need to students enrolling for a minimum of a two-year degree. Should HB 119 pass, students eligible for such funding will be denied the OCOG if they enroll in a school that is not state-funded. Since when does the government think it is their right to discriminate against citizens who would prefer to attend a school that is the best choice for them? Most students who attend proprietary schools are considered "non-traditional;" many are single parents, adults returning to the workforce or those who need to train for a new industry. Smaller, proprietary colleges offer a flexible, convenient, and less expensive alternative to reaching their educational and career goals.

I am writing about the recent drug testing debate: "Does It Work?" "To me it's a deterrent," said one person. Americans are teaching their children to be obedient robots, not intelligent people who use free will to make the right decision because it is the right decision. "Obey. Conform. Resistance is futile."

Sometimes taxpayers just don't like how the government spends our tax dollars. We can always think of a better way we could spend that money if only it was in our own pocket. That's the idea behind most tax breaks. However, we would be hard pressed to find a better way for the city of Norwalk to spend $25,000 than a hazardous waste pickup day in the city, which is something the city is investigating.

CLEVELAND The late reappearance of snowy winter weather is taxing Ohio's honeybee population, already struggling with a lack of food storage and an ailment that has killed off tens of thousands of honeybee colonies in 24 states.
