Legislators Kill Kile And Right to Work Bill
The Kile bill to curb Labor’s political voice was buried after a lengthy GOP caucus. Bipartisan opposition from Democrats and many Republicans led to the bill’s abandonment for the current session. Hamilton County legislators opposed it, with names listed including Bettman, McClure, Glandorf, Bullock, and Simmonds. Louis J. Schneider Jr. voted FOR in committee. The move is praised as protecting union political rights and avoiding partisan damage to the Legislature.
