It seems that an "legislative director" is a person that " usually works at the state or federal capitol with a particular legislator, monitoring all issues and proposed laws, and then making recommendations based on his or her boss's political bent. In common English that might say, "reads the proposed legislation and tells the Legislator how to vote"? Or perhaps "aids the Legislator in voting for or against legislation that he hasn't read and doesn't understand"? -- Cheers, John B. |

I read just a bit and it seems, at least in part, to be a very self serving document, although I guess that it probably is intended to be :-) For example it mentions that salaries haven't increased but costs have risen, and thus minimum salaries "must" be increased. Or to use another description inflation is occurring.... but one of the main causes of inflation is an increase in the money supply so increasing salaries is a certain method of causing inflation. :-( On the other hand, telling someone, "Vote for me and I'll give you $15 an hour", will likely entice a certain amount of voter support :-( -- Cheers, John B. |

Yes, its all sinister and terribly bad. Like the passage of S.1532: No Human Trafficking on Our Roads Act -- which garnered much push-back from the human trafficking lobby. Total shakedown. I hear that one opponent actually received two human slaves -- and a Freightliner for transporting them. I mention federal legislation since the job of legislative director is the same at the state and federal level, viz., coordinating a legislators legislative agenda, shepherding bills through the legislative process, monitoring legislation, etc., etc. They meet with constituents and constituent groups, but they don't whip votes, AFAIK. Lobbyists meet with anyone they can and appear in hearings and organize others to appear at hearing. -- Jay Beattie. |

The Speaker of the House got arrested when the FBI got enough evidence, but the legislators (many elected by use of those bribes and donations) are still discussing whether or not to repeal the law. The effects of the bribe money and related campaign donations are far reaching, designed to cement the Republican control of the legislature. And yet: The Ohio Bicycle Federation has succeeded in getting several very good laws passed for Ohio bicyclists. That's without using bribe money, campaign donations or any dishonesty at all.
