What Say You Mr. Speaker?

Early in his career in Columbus, our representative, Cliff Rosenberger, indicated that he would support increased funding for the Wilmington school district. His proper justification was the harsh economic results of the DHL fiasco. However, before the state budget vote he deleted his support for the increase and promised to take up the issue up at a later date. That later date never came.
How will he react from his position of increaed political power when he has another shot at fulfilling that long ago promise when the new budget (see below) comes to a vote? After all his district is one of the most real estate poor in Ohio.
From the Dispatch: “This local government funding formula in Gov. John Kasich’s proposed budget is similar to Kasich’s school funding plan: It awards money from part of the fund based on capacity, a community’s ability to raise revenue from its residents.”
