In its style, tone and substance, [Ted Strickland]'s speech addressed the key issues that African-American legislators had shared with the governor in their recent meeting with him. On a wide range of issues - from increased funding for poor children in the state's public schools; to paring back on the number of charter schools; to increasing health care coverage for low-income families; to refocusing "parity aid" in schools to those districts that need it most; to expanding job training and jobs programs in the inner cities - it seemed that the governor and the OLBC were singing from the same hymnal. I was able to sit there and reflect on all of the governors that I had served under," said [Ray Miller], the "dean" of the state's Black legislators. "I had been in that cabinet room with...

The OLBC started out with a list of 10 major legislative projects, she said. Her members were hoping to get maybe three of them. Instead, they got all 10 projects in the bu...

Some African-American legislators in Madison apparently don't know their places. Good for them, especially if it helps get some straight answers about welfare reform.
