I want to highlight that the article “Fighting the Klan could get you 15 years in prison” is inaccurate and needs to be corrected. There are many inflammatory and inaccurate comments. I have highlighted some below and also included more information and a fact sheet.

Local gun safety group, Ohioans for Gun Safety is seeking to pass ballot initiative for common-sense background checks on gun sales in Ohio.

Ohioans for Gun Safety, a grassroots non-partisan advocacy group, is working to close the legal loopholes which allow for private sales of guns, particularly online and at gun shows, without background checks. There are many gun owners who strongly believe that such checks are necessary to reduce the amount of gun violence in our state.

“We are not against gun ownership,” says Marian Harris, one of the organizers. “We simply feel it is high time that common-sense background checks be put into place to reduce the number of gun sales to those who should not have access to them, such as convicted felons, convicted domestic abusers and those adjudicated mentally ill.”

Zach Sager, a gun owner himself, strongly supports the measure.

Jobs or the environment? That's the tragic dilemma in which the powers that be seek to trap the global working class forever, convincing us that we cannot have both. We desperately need to find a way out of this dilemma . . . before the capitalist system, with its relentless drive to make more and more profit at any cost, makes this planet unlivable for the human species.

The Right knows how to politically exploit this dilemma: pretend to prioritize jobs over the environment -- until the products become unprofitable and the workers become disposable. That will fool some of the people in swing states all of the time, or so hopes the Party of Lincoln in the age of Donald Trump. Unlike the GOP, the Democratic Party, torn between its capitalist donors and working-class base, wishes to present itself not only as the defender of both jobs and the environment, but also as good for both workers and capitalists, an impossible balancing act that frequently fails.

If we needed more proof of why Ohio Republicans are the reason we can’t have nice things, it turns out that Governor John Kasich’s controversial Medicaid expansion had some ulterior motives all along. According to a recent article in The Columbus Dispatch, Kasich’s administration is full of CVS lobbyists who have been given cushy jobs with the state’s Medicaid system – jobs that enable them to rig the pricing of drugs and give CVS exclusivity when it comes to the needs of some Medicaid customers.

The Little Kitchen food truck launched in September 2017 and their menu, that is 100 percent plant-based, offers a lot of allergy-friendly recipes to accommodate those with gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, etc. requirements. They feature filling and delicious main dishes such as creamy cashew-based vegan mac and pea, a fiesta salad, loaded nachos and smoothies. They also offer seasonal foods and treats such as delightful vegan shakes in flavors such as “cake batter,” “coffee cold brew,” “old fashioned chocolate shake” (malt flavor) and “peppermint.” Founder Chloe Graffeo says, “I don’t want people to be afraid to try healthy comfort foods.”

The Little Kitchen Truck is located in Clintonville in front of Virtue Salon every Friday from 11am-2pm and at the Columbus Commons Food Truck on Thursdays 11am-2pm. Check their website for more details on when and where to find them. They have also been found at Farmer’s Markets (Clintonville and Westgate), Food Truck Festivals, corporate events and private events (weddings, graduation parties) which are added on as requested.
