OH: Getting to Know Third Party Alternatives to the Democratic-Republican Party

From the Ohio Republic:

To better inform Ohio voters about Ohio's alternative parties, I sent questionnaires to the Constitution, Green, and Libertarian Parties. I am publishing the Green Party's response today, and will give the Libertarian response tomorrow. The Constitution Party did not reply to my questionnaire.

1. What do you consider to be the most important statewide issues in this year’s campaign?
Sustainability in our economy and our ecology. This includes eliminating waste and fraud in the state budget, and investing in healthy infrastructure which will save money in the long-run instead of cost us more money in the long-run. Examples are ridding us of subsidization of already profitable and often polluting industries such as agri-business and coal; other examples would be investing in educational opportunities, so that we would save us in long-term costs of housing prisoners and increased crime . . .
