INFORM's Candy Bennett interviews William Phillis on Ohio school funding.

-
Ohio’s School Funding August 16, 2010.



INFORM’s guest for August 16th was William Phillis, CEO of the Coalition of Equity and Adequacy for School Funding articulated the strides Ohio’s government has been advancing for education in all 88 counties.

It is evident to most Ohioans that our economy is tough and burdened with foreclosures, unemployment and reduced state revenue making it difficult to advance a “thorough and efficient” system of education. Mr. Phillis, informed the listening audience that Governor Stickland has championed education systematically. His previous campaign platform was one of education reform and he fulfilled his promise by enacting an Evidence Based Model and through the General Assembly has increased school funding from 34.5% to 42.6% lessening the burden upon homeowners.

If you would like more information about the Coalition of Equity and Adequacy for School funding you can reach Mr. Phillis at 614.228.6524 or ohioeanda@sbcglobal.net.

INFORM's Candy Bennet interviews marathon runner Chris Smith on Bexley Public Radio

INFORM August 2, 2010 “Two Old Goats.”



Listeners of INFORM, met Chris Smith, a marathon runner with a selfless goal of running to help the people of Zimbabwe gain sustainability. Chris and his running partner Paul Carringer are “Two Old Goats” running for the goats.

In July, they competed in the 24 hour “Lone Ranger” ultra race in Philadelphia, to raise money to purchase 1000 goats for the people of Zimbabwe. World Vision is their social service partner. World Vision provides each family with two goats and instructs them how to produce milk and cheese. World Vision also provides entrepreneurial instruction on the care and development of goat herd expansion, thus creating meat for trade and potentially increasing each family’s earning potential.

Chris and Paul are still running to reach their goal of 1000 goats. A $75 contribution will purchase two goats to increase the economic stability of a family in Zimbabwe. Checks can be sent to Grace Fellowship Church-Goats, 7140 Reynoldsburg-Baltimore Road, Pickerington, Ohio 43147 or you can make your donation online at http://twv.convio.net/goto/run4goats.
