That fact is why Householder was willing to accede to some of the Democrats' political demands, including last year's big increase in state funding for public transportation. Due in part of the Republicans split over Ryan Smith and Householder for House Speaker. So, Larry went across the aisle and did some horse trading, and maybe illegal cash payments, to get elected. That is why we had relative political peace in Columbus this year and last.
