“Wage stagnation, unemployment or underemployment, part-time or contingent work – this is the new norm for Ohio,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Foodbanks.
Boy, oh, boy, sure glad that Kasich is working to bring his compassionate conservatism to the rest of the country.
