ProgressOhio

I am one of the first supporters of the Healthy Families Act. This initiative would guarentee that workers in Ohio would receive some paid sick leave, if they are not provided this by their current employer. Recently I've become aware that the language in the initiative language now being circulated is discriminatory in that it does not cover same sex partners. Equality Ohio has asked that all progressives take the postition that we cannot support the initiative in its present form. I agree and I am asking those in Progess Ohio who have endorsed this initiative to reconsider.
