“Gov. John Kasich should be congratulated for having the courage to torpedo a piece of industry-driven legislation that could have plundered Lake Erie water,” is the opening line in an editorial from The Plain Dealer on Friday. Based on their assessment, I can only assume that the bar for making important decisions has been dropped to historic lows. After all, the bill would have faced legal action from Lake Erie neighbor, New York, if passed. Not to mention the bill was co-sponsored by Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, who is the president of a water bottling company, as The Plain Dealer notes. The self-interest is more obvious than the inevitable erection when you’re called up to solve a math problem in front of class.
