Ohioans Promote Priorities for Next Governor
Community Solutions just released "Dear Governor," a special edition of our Planning & Action journal, which you can find here.
Health care, early care and education, jobs, government reform, juvenile corrections, land use, mental health, minority communities, older adults, persons with disabilities, arts/culture, and more. All are among the priorities identified by 27 Ohio residents in "Dear Governor."
"This special edition of our journal focuses on what the community feels are vital issues facing Ohio--issues that should be priorities for the next governor," according to Gregory L. Brown, executive director and president. "'Dear Governor' offers a collection of ideas and suggestions from a variety of perspectives, many from people with years of experience in working toward the common good."
He adds, "Ohio faces some serious issues, and most have a common thread--the health and welfare of people. Many 'Dear Governor' letters address the development of Ohio's people. They emphasize that human capital development is proven to improve lives and create healthier communities, with a proven return on investment.
"We invite all gubernatorial candidates, as well as all Ohio citizens, to read the letters with a view to how their recommendations might be implemented to rebuild Ohio into a great place to stay or relocate, raise families, work, play, and eventually retire."
