An Edited Version of my feelings on this letter...Well it's hard to edit since two close friends work in libraries, I respect and use libraries and I thought it was underhanded to try and sneak this by before the public could truly organize and react.

Dirty play, Strickland.

Wait... what's wrong with raising taxes? Isn't he a Democrat?
