Good News from Ohio....For Once
According to Eric Fingerhut, Ohio Gov. Taft will VETO the ban on Stem Cell Research in Ohio. From an email:
GOVERNOR TAFT WILL VETO STEM CELL RESEARCH BAN
Dear Friends,
Your hard work has paid off. Governor Taft IS VETOING the budget
provision that would have banned Third Frontier dollars from being
used for embryonic stem cell research in the State of Ohio. This
is excellent news for the thousands of Ohioans living with diseases
and conditions, such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, Parkinson's and MS,
for which embryonic stem cell research shows great promise.
It is also excellent news for the State of Ohio. It means the
governor's Third Frontier initiative, created to attract businesses
to Ohio and boost the economy, can still be a catalyst for retaining
and recruiting world class scientists and researchers (and businesses
that want to be near them)---an element critical to the success of
the initiative.
