If you want to expand access to mental health that means you need more therapists and therapists cannot be adequately trained under the conditions of SB1 as it goes against all requirements for multicultural competencies needed for licensure - SB1 is definitely not in Ohio’s or DeWine’s interests

This costly (voucher) program forces taxpayers to front the cost of private, often religious, education for others who can already afford it

He does not take any responsibility for spreading harmful lies, but he does say it is important to ensure "accurate information about vaccine safety and efficacy is disseminated."
