Kreider Camp responds to Goodman Bill

I invited the Kreider Campaign to respond to the story I put up yesterday concerning David Goodman and his introduction of a bill that looks remarkably like plank #1 on the Kreider platform.

Paul Burnam, Research Director for the Kreider Campaign, left the following response in the comments:

In the September 7 issue story, "New Legislation Proposes 'Circuit Breaker' Tax Relief," Rep. Peterson and Sen. Goodman's bills remind me of discussions of 'death bed conversions" in Sunday school. Now the Ohio Supreme Court has been telling the General Assembly since 1997 that it needed to do something about the funding of public schools. Specifically, the court indicated reform was needed in the way property taxes were used to fund the schools. A Republican member of the Ohio House of Representatives, Mr. Callender, proposed a bill to give greater property tax relief to seniors in 2004, but that bill stalled in the House. Where were Rep. Peterson and Sen. Goodman in 2004? So with 2.5 months remaining before an election where all indications are that the citizens of Ohio have had enough of Republican failed leadership, Rep. Peterson and Sen. Goodman are getting religion on the homestead exemption issue. The degree of irony in their conversion almost takes your breath of away.

What else could I possibly add? Goodman is facing a Judgment Day. The metaphor seems apt to me.
