Events

I've had a bad run of attending the events I've been pushing here. It seems like I make a plug, plan to go, then one of my kids gets sick. It's to the point I almost don't want to do it, lest I jinx my household again. But still I do it; I do it for you the readers. So if one of my kids gets some horrible disease, remember: It's your fault.

This isn't overtly political, but as it happens, Prof. W and I each really enjoyed the book.








Interfaith Meeting on Public Education and Economic Justice

The Network for Interfaith Political Action present's a day-long meeting focusing on state budget priorities this Saturday, Feb. 10 at First Unitarian Church of Cleveland. On the bill are Speaker Jon Husted and freshman Dem Representative Armond Budish (D-8). There will also be workshops on public ed and economic justice. Ohio Fair Schools will be represented, but not by me; I have another commitment to the organization elsewhere.
