Voinovich Avoids Health Issue With Slots Slap
Why did Sen. George Voinovich take such a strong slap at Gov. Ted Strickland on the slot machine issue? Health care.
Voinovich – the Artful Dodger – is dodging another issue that could help millions of Americans and break the hold of big insurance over our health care.
Of course, Voinovich and his family have had government health care for more than 40 years.
But he doesn’t want others to have it.
Why?
Because he’s been a shill for wealthy and corporate interests for every one of those 40 years.
Is he going to get away with being an Artful Dodger on the most important legislation in decades? I guess he will. He has the protection of the Pee Dee, wealth contributors and he’s not running for re-election.
But George Voinovich has been one of the worse public officials during my years covering politics in Cleveland.
And he’s fooling the Cleveland public again.
Comments
I'm no fan of Voinovich - in fact, I think he is an absolute hypocrite. Them silmeball hired Rep. Mark Foleys' top aide - the press secretary who helped him get away with fondling pageboys for so long.
But please use the proper language when you report these important stories. I agree: Voinovich has been one of the WORST public officials during my years following your coverage of politics in Cleveland.
