The Good! *Ohio Governor John Kasich* In stunning comments made last week to Republican donors - Kasich said that he was "all for" action on climate change. He told the crowd, "This isn't popular to always say, but I believe there is a problem with climates, climate change in the atmosphere. I believe it. I don't know how much there is, but I also know the good Lord wants us to be good stewards of his creation. And so, at the end of the day, if we can find these breakthroughs to help us have a cleaner environment, I'm all for it." The Bad! *Missouri State Representative Ed Schieffer* Schieffer - a Democrat in the state legislature - has introduced a bill that would allow public transportation users in the state to have concealed weapons with them while riding trains and city buses. and the Very Very Ugly! *Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam* Haslam said today that he will allow a bill that prevents schools from punishing teachers who teach faulty and wonky science to become law. The bill allows teachers to teach students about creationism alongside evolution - as well as other fake science issues like climate change denial.
