Democratic presidential front runner Hillary Clinton brought her message of equal wages and paid sick leave to downtown Columbus. 

Clinton spoke before a crowd of supporters many of them holding “Women for Hillary” signs.  She pointed out Ohio State University students and vowed to make college more affordable.

“We’re going to help you refinance your debt if you already have student debt.  And we’re going to allow you to tie the payments to your income and we’re going to put a date certain that if you fulfill your obligations to pay that lower amount at some point it ends.”

Clinton said Republicans don’t have a vision for America.  And don’t believe in making college and health care more affordable.  Clinton will attend fundraisers in Columbus and Cincinnati.
