Not One Republican House Member. not even one...

 We saw this coming a mile away.

Governor Mike DeWine released an email today, claiming credit for the American Rescue Plan Act and blamed Democrats for defunding the police. The title of the email was "$250 Million - Backing the Blue and First Responders!" Exclamation point! Of course this money is coming from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. To be very precise about which party is defunding the police: NOT ONE REPUBLICAN HOUSE MEMBER VOTED TO RESCUE AMERICA! Not even one. Including our own House rep, OH-14's David Joyce. Inferring that this $250 Million is a grant provided in some way by Republicans, Gov. DeWine used these words: "While Democrats work to defund the police, we're investing in our law enforcement and communities. We have to ensure that our Republican leaders get re-elected and can continue to invest in the brave men and women who keep us safe." He is using money he did not want in the first place, that every Republican House rep did not want, to fundraise for...Republicans. Gov. DeWine was joined by his Republican posse during Monday’s press conference, held at the Ohio Statehouse: Lt. Governor Jon Husted Sen. Teresa Gavarone (R-Bowling Green) Sen. Nathan Manning (R-North Ridgeville) Rep. Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) Rep. D.J. Swearingen (R-Huron) Hardin County Sheriff Keith Everhart, outgoing BSSA (Buckeye State Sheriff's Association) president Lorain County Sheriff Phil Stammitti, incoming BSSA president Findlay Mayor Christina Muryn If DeWine, and Joyce, and the other Republican hypocrites actually believed their screams and rantings about a budget deficit, they would not participate in any of that pork spending nor accept any of this budget-busting money. That is, if they believed their own words.
