The Ohio legislature is poised to pass legislation diminishing the collective bargaining rights of government employees and banning strikes.  Good for them.

It's not just a victory for fiscal sanity.  And it's not just a victory for Ohio government workers who don't want union dues forcibly removed from their paychecks.  It's also a victory for every Ohio taxpayer who doesn't want his or her tax money being laundered through public employees and then allocated to government unions who push for little but bigger government.
