Michael Shreffler is the superintendent of the Southeast Local School District (in northeast Ohio). In early September, he attended a private, invitation-only Republican event in Summit County featuring Gov. John Kasich and Ohio Speaker Bill Batchelder. John-Boy and Squirrelly Bill spoke about SB 5 and, according to Shreffler, said the following:
Batchelder -- Ohio public employees have been "bilking" the state for years.
Kasich -- Public employess "don't pay a dime" toward their pensions and health insurance.
-- "We are at war with these people."
-- If SB 5 is repealed in November, "we'll ram it through" anyway with piece-meal legislation.
Mr. Shreffler was not amused. Still hot under the collar, he wrote a two-page email to his staff, and pressed "send".
The now-viral highlight of his email:
"This Governor is a bully, and the legislature is his posse. We have to stand up to this bully AND to his posse!"
(Yowza!! You can read Shreffler's full email by clicking on it under "Buster's Links.")
A flaming email is not politically correct and doesn't do much for one's job security, but you gotta admire the guy's cojones. Bully for you, Mr. Shreffler!
