-- Rep. Carol-Ann Schindel --
Last week Perry Schools officials noticed an error in the proposed state funding levels produced by the Ohio Office of Budget Management (OBM). They notified newly-elected Rep. Carol Ann-Schindel (R-Leroy) to seek her help.
Her response?
Rep. Schindel “called and called OBM […] ” and could not get a hold of someone to answer questions. She could have followed up on behalf of her constituents and gone directly to the Office of Budget Management to demand answers. Instead she gave up and reported to the local press that she couldn’t get her phone calls returned.
Rep. Schindel acts as though OBM is on a different planet when in reality her Columbus office and OBM are in the same government complex and are only 250 yards apart. Simply put, Carol-Ann Schindel refused to walk down the block to get answers for her constituents.
To put this in perspective, this is about the same distance between Dillard’s and JC Penney at Great Lakes Mall. Perhaps OBM could have offered a 10% off sale to coax Rep. Schindel down the street.
