Sen. Bernie Moreno is torching the Democratic mayor of Columbus for signing a partnership with Ghana to recruit foreign nurses into Ohio's healthcare workforce — funded with $225,000 in taxpayer money. Moreno fired off a letter to Mayor Andrew Ginther Wednesday morning, arguing the city should be investing in Ohio's own nursing students instead of subsidizing overseas labor pipelines. He didn't stop at the $225K figure either, claiming Ginther has "lit on fire" approximately $8.3 million in public dollars "to benefit noncitizens and foreign governments" since taking office. The Ohio senator urged the mayor to reallocate the funds toward expanding enrollment and training capacity at local colleges and universities, warning that publicly subsidized foreign recruitment will "likely negatively impact American nurses' wages."
