William Koch, brother of company owners David and Charles, called the company an "organized crime" operation:
Koch says that Koch Industries engaged in "(o)rganized crime. And management driven from the top down."
"It was – was my family company. I was out of it," he says. "But that’s what appalled me so much... I did not want my family, my legacy, my father’s legacy to be based upon organized crime."

"As details of Gov. Scott Walkers corporate takeover of state government are revealed piece by piece, one gets the sensation the whole state is coming down with a case of shingles. From trashing a half-century of successful public employee collective bargaining to ending recycling and kicking tens of thousands off BadgerCare, or the fracturing of the states university system, the dawning of every day brings a sickening sense that we are now in service to a state by, for and of the corporation."

What's ahead for education in Ohio? Gov. John Kasich speech offers clues | cleveland.com
What's ahead for education in Ohio? Gov. John Kasich speech offers clues | cleveland.com
A bill now before the legislature would clear the way for Teach for America recruits and alumni to work in Ohio schools.
But critics of the program say the five weeks of intensive training that recruits get before taking over a classroom can't compare with what's done in 50 teacher preparation programs already offered at Ohio colleges.
"You may be the smartest person in the world in my subject, but that doesn't mean you're a good teacher," said Zellner from the Ohio Federation of Teachers. "That's what people go to college to learn -- how to conduct a class and be an effective instructor."
And then there's the fact that Ohio education colleges already produce a surplus of teachers; layoffs because of tight finances threaten to reduce the number of openings even more. Between 6,000 and 7,000 teachers for preschool through third grade aren't working now, according to the Ohio Department of Education.
"We don't need some outside program to push people into our state," Zellner said. "We have hundreds of thousands of the best and brightest in our classrooms now -- or on the unemployment line."

Campus Connection: TAA against breaking UW-Madison from system

"The TAA opposes the New Badger Partnership, especially the separation of UW-Madison from the UW System, the formation of the public authority model, and the threat to affordability and accessibility it poses to public education and the lack of protection for labor unions on campus. The TAA also objects to the non-transparent and undemocratic process by which the New Badger Partnership was designed."
"It was important that we outlined specifically what we were against and why," TAA Co-President Kevin Gibbons said in a phone interview. "This is speaking out about the things that really matter to us and other members of the campus community."
