GOP Rejects Chabot Amendment

While blocking job creation bills, Steve Chabot tried sneaking in an amendment into a Transportation & Housing bill that would have cut $3B from housing subsidies. Hamilton County's CMHA already has a waiting list for vouchers.
Steve Chabot and his frothing hatred for his hometown comes through again as he doesn't even vote with a lot of his fellow Rethuglicans.

Steve Chabot Offers Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt

In a rambling editorial, Steve Chabot tilts at cooperative Democrats, proposes more big government & completely ignores his role in a floundering jobs market.
Screwing around with the ACA leaves employers wondering what the true costs of hiring new people will be so they take a wait and see approach rather than hire people they might have to wind up laying off.
Government shutdowns, sequestrations, foreign saber rattling…
All of this bad governance makes people jittery about investing in the country and, so many people, without employment, can't be big consumers.
It's kind of an ouroboros sort of thing and Chabot's doing nothing to stop it. Maybe his combover has become an ouroboros sort of thing, choking off his brain.

Chabot Wins Primary

Uncontested, Steve Chabot won his Republican primary with 6.27% of the registered voters & 15% of those ballots not selecting him.
Kundrata received an even smaller percentage of votes in the Democratic primary but beat Prues 6-4.
Chabot received about 17,000 votes while Kundrata & Prues combined brought in only 10,000 votes, about 4% of the registered voters. Kundrata alone received less than 6,000.
What can we take from this? Nobody gives a shit. Apathy appears to be Chabots best weapon.
