Milk, aisles 1,2,3 ...

Until recently, breastfeeding mothers in Ohio could have been forced to leave institutions by the request of business patrons. This will no longer be the case as the Ohio legislature recently passed a bill stating that women will have the right to breastfeed in any public place regardless of possible complaints by storeowners. Although the premise of the bill is a good idea, the legislation lacks teeth in its enforcement of the new guidelines. The bill provides no recourse if property owners violate the new law, and without concrete consequences or procedures the bill is more style than substance.

The quality of Ohio's public libraries -the foundation of education and personal betterment -likely will be put on the chopping block this year, and when the final budget is approved the library system will be 5 percent leaner. Such a reduction in funding for the state library system is downright reprehensible.
