Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Kasich's Tool Shed Is Down Two Tools


Roughly three years into their terms, two high-profile political appointees of John "Wonder Guv" Kasich recently tendered their resignations.

Ohio EPA Director Scott Nally was a combative ally of big business interests.  Nally's moment of infamy came when he fired long-time Division Chief George Elmaraghy for merely doing his job.

PUCO Chairman Todd Snitchler was best known for a series of ill-advised tweets in which he revealed himself to be a pro-coal, climate change-denying, gun nut Tea Bagger.

Buster won't miss either of these tools.  Kasich will make some interim appointments to fill the slots.  Who knows who he'll pick?  But it would be kinda nice if the Director of the state's Environmental Protection Agency actually tried to protect the environment, and it'd be just peachy if the Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission cared more about the public than he cared about AEP.
