Kasich: Same Old Lines

Dennis J. Willard, a reporter for the Beacon Journal, has a very interesting article at Ohio.com which takes the Republican candidate for governor to task:

....Kasich was a managing director for Lehman Brothers — the Lehman Brothers — and there are plenty of people who believe that Wall Street firms like Lehman played a much larger role over the past decade than Strickland in the past three years creating the economic mess facing Ohio....

....He (Kasich) added that state government needs to be restructured, our regulatory system is onerous, school funding needs to be fixed and the Bureau of Workers' Compensation is strangling small businesses.

These are the same issues George Voinovich cited in 1990, Bob Taft in 1998 and J. Kenneth Blackwell in 2006....


The article reminds everyone that....Kasich's party controlled the governor's office and both legislative chambers from 1995 through 2007....

Kasich has to get down to basics and explain how he can cut out the state income tax, but still serve the people of Ohio.
