Independent Green Party Candidate for State Representative for the 60th District Dennis Spisak today called for the current Ohio Legislators in Columbus to get to work on legislation to help Ohio working families.



"Once again we see Ohio Democrats and Republicans dragging their feet and refusing to act on legislation that would help Ohio's poor and working class." said Spisak. "Neither party wants the other party to look good heading into the November elections so both major parties are refusing to pass any legislation before the November election that could help Ohio families."



Spisak cited Ohio Healthy Families Act Bill. "Over 270,000 petition signers sent this act to the Ohio General Assembly in early January. This bill would provide fair paid sick days for working Ohioans. On March 11th, 2008, the Legislature will have less than half of the 120 days granted by law to pass the Healthy Families Act."



Spisak said " that is why it is important for Ohio citizens to finally elect independent candidates to the Ohio House and Senate who will not play politics with legislation that is important to Ohio citizens. Democrats and Republican legislators listen to their party bosses, independent candidates will listen to the will of the people."


Spisak concluded, " All Ohio Legislators have paid sick days courtesy of our tax dollars. Shouldn't all hard-working Ohioans have the right to earn them too?"
