re: #185 BeachDem

Or…

How perfect is this? A state leader with aspirations to be commander-in-chief rails against a lopsided, partisan system of legislative district map making he voted for then signed into law?…

Mr. Kasich voted in 2011, just months after he was elected with a thin win of just two percent in 2010 over former Gov. Ted Strickland, to create the legislative districts in use now that he’s vowing to change either in Washington or in Columbus…

Gov. Kasich, Secretary of State Jon Husted and State Auditor David Yost went along with the very partisan design of Ohio’s congressional districts with little if any pushback…

At the time, Gov. Kasich defended himself as not being part of the map making process. All he did, he claims, was sign the bill making it all possible…

When Mr. Kasich likes a bill, like Senate Bill 5, he can marshal his resources and people to get behind it. Staying quiet and claiming he wasn’t a material part of the process, as he’s done with redistricting, is basic Kasich.

Perhaps he’s changed his mind now that he’s suffered from the extremism gerrymandering engenders. It’s a truism, but still true that the burned hand teaches best.
