Almost Easter

Easter this year is on April Fool's Day. This day is special to my family and we love to celebrate this day. I love the fun things that can be made to decorate and just things to make with my children. This year, though we have been battling the state of Ohio that is trying to fast track Kasich's Legacy, HB 512. This bill is bad for the state, for the children and all future children. The people for it think that if they push this out that they will have "workers," but what they will have is an exodus, from the state. Kids who don't want to be a restaurant worker or a construction worker or a road worker will leave. They will leave to other states where they can be what they want to be.
