It is apparent that Gov. John Kasich's JobsOhio is failing to bring in jobs. As a matter of fact, JobsOhio has caused some major problems in many counties because of a lack of communication and accusations of conflicts of interest, according to a post at Plunderbund:
...A must-read story from Sunday’s Journal News documents the disaster in Hamilton and surrounding counties. According to the piece, local economic development directors are pissed off at JobsOhio and its region partner, the Cincinnati USA Partnership, “because they aren’t getting the job-generating leads and attention from the agency that they used to before JobsOhio entered the picture.”
...There is also concern that JobsOhio’s involvement has brought about – surprise! – conflicts of interest within the Cincinnati USA Partnership because the group accepts donations from “investors” that include “private corporations and local governments.” According to the Journal News piece, the Partnership continues its policy of providing access to information and events based on the amount of money a company or city donates to the group. At the same time, the partnership is directly responsible for recommending which companies will receive loans, grants and/or tax credit from the state......
....That’s right, one of the guys Kasich’s JobsOhio has entrusted with preserving and creating more jobs in Ohio threatened to move his own company out of Ohio if JobsOhio and the Kasich Administration didn’t give him over $10 Million.....
Some corporate people appear to be making money from JobsOhio. Unfortunately, the people of Ohio are not seeing jobs or any economic benefits from Kasich's pet project.
