During the week of June 12, the Ohio state budget was approved by the Ohio Senate. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed the state budget for the 2024-2025 fiscal years on July 4. The controversial amendment regarding the limitation of working remotely was removed during the budget’s conference committee.
An amendment approved by the Ohio Senate in the original legislation text aimed at limiting the number of hours for Ohio state government workers was removed. Only workers that had reasonable accommodations as a part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) would have been able to only work up to eight hours per week from home.
I wonder how many hours our representatives spend working remotely.
I hear their aides do most of the work for them, we should limit the number of aides that representatives may hire and regulate the specific duties that they may perform such as removing the ability for an aide to read and summarize legislation for an incumbent. /s

Good! This was a shitty, underhanded attempt at controlling government workers. Get absolutely fucked Ohio Republicans.

Make the fuckers pass a comprehension quiz before they vote on anything.
