All Ohio taxpayers and the media need to know this information. First off Governor DeWine refuses to live at the state owned Governor’s residence and instead lives at his personal home. Since he is acting like a tyrant dictator he is scared and needs protection. He has no less than ten state troopers at his personal house 24/7. Most of this is overtime details paying out on average $48-52 dollars an hour. The normal modus operandi is one or two troopers at a regular rate of pay.

Governor DeWine has also had a state of emergency issued for over a year now. This is what he uses to justify his dictatorship. The problem for all taxpayers besides losing your rights is another money issue. Every essential government worker, all of which are unionized and there are thousands of them, are owed $8 PER HOUR on top of their regular pay for every hour worked during a state of emergency. For the year that is over $16,000 per employee and there are roughly 5000 essential workers. That is EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS that Ohio taxpayers owe government employees who are simply doing their regular job but under a state of emergency issued just so DeWine can have dictator power. If anyone doubts this information all union contracts with their entire language are easily searchable and public information. I doubt anyone outside of government knows this information so please spread it and contact your representatives and let them know how you feel about this.
