Teaching groups support Democrat Klimek for Ohio House
Just received this press release from Friends of Tony Klimek:
WEST CHESTER, OHIO. — Tony Klimek, candidate for the Ohio House, 55 District, has been endorsed by both the Ohio Education Association (OEA) and the Ohio Federation of Teachers (OFT).
Tony Klimek, a Democrat from West Chester Township has made improving education one of the major issues in his campaign. The recent endorsements from the OEA and OFT demonstrate community support for his commitment to education and his ideas to address the inequities in the K-12 funding system.
“For too long the representatives from Butler County have ignored the critical needs of our schools and the structural problems with the K-12 funding formula,” Klimek said. “They have thrown money at the problem and used a band-aid approach that has not addressed the basic inequities in the system. I will work with Governor Strickland, OEA, OFT, other members of the education community, and members of both parties to ensure that quality education and a revised funding system for K-12 schools are top priorities.”
OEA members teach in Ohio’s K-12 schools, colleges and universities and work to improve education and the lives of Ohio’s children. OEA members, more than 131,000, provide a wide range of professional education services in communities throughout the state. Since 1847, OEA members have been dedicated to children and public education.
The OFT represents more than 20,000 members in Ohio including public education employees, higher education faculty and support staff, and public employees.
Tony Klimek is a professional engineer and president of Terraine, an environmental and technology company. He and his wife Jan live in West Chester where their four children attend public schools. He has been very active in the community and has been youth sport coach, BSA Troop 944 Scoutmaster, and robot team coach. More information about Mr. Klimek is available at www.friendsoftonyklimek.com.

Anybody would be better than Boehner. Why does Butler County not get any federal projects funded? Old John tell’s us he’s against “Pork”, but as House Minority Leader he does nothing to stop others from send pork back to their districts. I’d sure like to see some of my federal taxes come back to Butler County.

Say what you will, but under Republican leadership, we’ve had the worst economy since the Great Depression. Isn’t it time for a change?

Wow, JJ. You take any opportunity to take a swipe at ‘Old John’. Even when the article is about the Ohio House! You’re so blinded by hatred you didn’t even read the article. How long before you post another comment under another name with the same email address?

Brad, some people are blinded by ignorance when they continue to support politicians who don’t support the district they are elected to serve, bet it in DC or Columbus.

John or JJ or whatever your name may be, I guess according to your comment that you think doling out pork is the way to support your district? Maybe if you took a drive up to Celina or Eaton or Troy, you’d realize that the residents of the 8th District do support ‘Old John’ and also support his stance against pork. As far as ‘your tax dollars’, I guess you missed the work on I-75. But again, you are too blinded by your hatred to realize what’s going on. You probably should continue to rail against ‘Old John’ when the article is about a State issue. The Federal Government solves everything!
