Reader Says Community Shelter Board Column Wrongly Blamed Victim
Ted Decker’s October 14 Chronicle “No more blame for robbing people in need “ to blame the Community Shelter Board for being the victim of a well-organized, multi-accused white-collar crime system is wrongly blame.
Following:Theodore Decker: About the internal theft, the Community Shelter Board has more to explain
While the Commission clearly had to plug a hole in its proceedings, the criminals worked hard to create a clever ploy. Yet they were arrested and prosecuted.
The council, knowing that perfection is always elusive, had purchased insurance that covered the entire loss. It seems fairly responsible to me. What is not responsible – relating the dress of the CEO to her responsibility of being a victim of a crime.

Require vocational training for those who do not want to work but receive benefits
Americans don’t like people who can work fail to do so when they expect government benefits.
By having more children, a person can increase their monthly income by $ 300 for each. If you have eight children, that’s $ 2,400 per month in net tax. If you extend the tax credit, vocational / work training should be required for all adults in the household and a sliding range of credit amount should also be applied (based on net income). Let us avoid accumulating this deficit until the economic collapse.

Kudos to Governor DeWine for his efforts to find clean energy solutions
Last month, the Ohio Conservative Energy Forum joined businesses, organizations, policy makers and citizens across the country in celebrating National Clean Energy Week. We are grateful to Governor Mike DeWine for officially proclaiming this occasion in Ohio.
Its proclamation highlights this rapidly growing bipartisan movement that supports clean energy industries. His recognition that changes can be made to reduce pollution, increase energy independence and grow our local economies is important to hear from a conservative governor. He understands that cleaner energy and economic growth are not mutually exclusive.

In fact, 2019 was the first year that natural gas accounted for more of our energy production than coal. The Ohio Shale Revolution created more than 50,000 jobs while providing cleaner burning natural gas, reducing emissions and strengthening our energy independence.
Likewise, relying on clean and renewable resources “can ensure reliable and low-cost energy” in the future, as stated in the governor’s official proclamation. So it’s great news that Ohio now ranks eighth in clean energy jobs and saw more than $ 250 million in investment from the solar industry last year.
Governor DeWine knows it is time to come together and focus on finding energy solutions at the national level. Ohio is leading the way with his leadership.

Trust government agencies such as the CDC for information on diseases
In the AP article of October 9 “Survey: Misinformation is a problem, most say “Carmen Speller trusts COVID-19 vaccines, but not her family. They think she’s crazy to trust the government to get information about COVID-19. I also trust the government.
I do this because this information comes from the National Institutes of Health and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, both of which were founded to protect us, American citizens, from disease and prevent us from passing it on to our fellow citizens. Our citizens who work in these agencies do so because they believe they are contributing to the achievement of this mission. Why would I instead believe contrary information from a news commentator or someone posting on social media?
What job have they done to make sure their information is correct?
