Senate Bill 5? What do YOU think?!?!

What's really in Senate Bill 5? Clearing up the rumors, misinformation surrounding collective bargaining overhaul

Senate Bill 5, a bill concerning public employees, passed in the Ohio Senate last month 17-16 and is currently being looked over by an Ohio House of Representatives committee. Many appose SB 5 but both sides agree there are too many misconceptions going around. Collective bargaining rights for all public employees will be reduced and although domestic partner benefits will not be taken away some worry because this is generally negotiated using collective bargaining. Safety workers could no longer be able to negotiate for protective equipment. Workers who strike could be jailed and teachers will not be able to negotiate class sizes.

Japan and Shinbokucon

I'm going to a small convention in Westlake called Shinbokucon with some friends at the end of April.  My first convention! Exciting!!!  I'm going as some naruto characters.

So my friends that are going to Shinbokucon are in a cadet level girl scout troop(we're in eighth grade) and we're already sending peace cranes over to Japan.  Plus Girl Scouts has lifted the restriction on fundraising for outside organizations so we can fund raise for Japan.  Since we were already going anyways we decided to have a bake sale to support our sister girl scouts in Japan!

So if you are somewhere out there reading this and live near Westlake stop by and support Japan!  I highly recommend donating to some sort of organization that is helping Japan.  Affects of this tragedy are going to last a long time with property damage and radioativity. 

If you want to stop by it is at the Holiday Inn (I think 8]) and I'll be the one with pink hair behind the least professional looking table selling brownies, cookies and hoefully mochi(a Japanese food)!
