Last week, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Ohio Consumers Council in a case they brought against AEP for improperly applying a rate increase retroactively. Yesterday, via the PUCO, the OCC sought an immediate rate reduction or refund from AEP. This is the same OCC that Kasich seeks to neuter in his proposed budget by slashing their funding by half, even thought the OCC is not funded by state tax dollars. Might want to rethink that one, genius!
SB 5 would make the ultra-subjective concept of "merit" the sole factor in determining teacher pay. Yesterday, John The Wonder Guv had the chutzpah to actually ask the state's teachers for their ideas on how to implement merit pay. The teachers replied that since Kasich himself has shown so little merit so far, their plan would be to first put the Governor on merit pay and see how he likes it. They're recommending a plugged nickel per annum.
