Cuyahoga County Auditor Frank Russo drinks money-green Koolaid


Just got his robocall about Issue 3 and its $850 million dollars:

“For every kid…not just the top students…every student.”

Sheesh. How many times to we have to reprint this damn thing that shows the flagrant falsehoods in his assertions:

“For the purpose of inspiring students to aspire to college at an early age, to improve students’ academic preparation, and to make college affordable for students and their families, the Ohio Board of Regents shall award undergraduate higher education scholarships and tuition grants for United States citizens who are residents of this state commencing with the first high school class graduating two years following the approval of this amendment.

Eligibility criteria for such scholarships and grants, and the amounts, shall be established solely by the Ohio Board of Regents. Such scholarships and grants shall include only the following:

(A) Individual learn and earn scholarship accounts for current and future students who, prior to enrolling in college, take core and advanced academic courses, participate in college readiness programs, assessment, and testing at any accredited public or non-public high school in this state, and contribute to public life through voluntary civic activity, and who attend any public or independent not-for-profit institution of higher education authorized by the Ohio Board of Regents and that has its principal office within this state.

(B) For the first twelve such high school graduating classes, uniform tuition grants, in an amount not to exceed the average undergraduate tuition charged by Ohio public universities, shall be awarded to the top five percent of students at each accredited public and non-public high school who attend any public or independent not for-profit institution of higher education authorized by the Ohio Board of Regents and that has its principal office within this state. Such tuition grants shall be based solely on academic merit.

Also – are they allowed to use the robocall or my tax dollars to promote their positions?

Learning how sausage is made is so depressing.
