Letter on worker compensation costs and church state issues
A reader argues Ohio worker compensation costs push firms like Phillips Magnavox to move to Mexico, costing 1,500 jobs and state revenues. The letter lauds Ohio's fund management, cites a $5 billion surplus, and criticizes the UAW lawsuit on credits. It also rails against separation of church and state in schools and courts, ending with a call to uphold prayer rights and stop banning student play.
