Don't you just love these libertarian's always screaming about tax dollars [View all]

and they take a dim view of government overreach and then this pin head and his legislature is doing this during a pandemic....
can he be recalled or impeached...and then to top it all off they will somehow gaslight this BS and blame every other person except themselves...and there abject failure to do a basic job in protecting the public from a virus....and sending the citizens down near the border into a state that has basically declared war on women and this country, and the highest death and infection rate in the country because they are not vaccinated and they hate masks, and the health care system is on the verge of collapse .........



Ohio governor spends $230,000 sending police to border as crime rises in his state
By Oliver Willis -September 9, 2021 11:15 AM


Ohio's three biggest cities are all experiencing problems with homicides, but resources were used to deploy law enforcement to Texas.

Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine spent nearly $230,000 in public funds to send officers from his state's highway patrol to the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, even as Ohio has been experiencing a serious crime problem.

As part of a Republican campaign to attack the immigration policies of President Joe Biden, Greg Abbott, Texas' Republican governor, put out a dubious call for assistance with border surveillance. In July, DeWine announced that he was responding to the request.

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Public Safety disclosed to the Ohio Capital-Journal that nearly $230,000 in taxpayer funds was spent to send 14 Ohio State Highway Patrol officers to the border.
