Examine His Votes

John Kasich, Republican candidate for Governor and former investment banker with Lehman Brothers, seems to be trying to get a lot of people angry with him.  (See Tim Russo's column over at Plunderbund.)  As Russo explains, whether you are a LeBron fan or you come from a rural life, Kasich has done a good job at dismissing your concerns.

Kasich's Congressional voting record should be examined.  Here are only two votes  from Govtrack.us---

House Roll #536 Oct 19, 2000 2:13 PM

Nay

On the Conference Report - House - H.R. 4635 Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development Appropriations for FY 2001 Passed 386-24, 22 not voting (Note: Kasich and Steve Chabot voted against it.)

House Roll #45 Mar 9, 2000 9:50 PM

No

On Passage - House - H.R. 3846 To Amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to Increase the Minimum Wage, and for other purposes Passed 282-143, 9 not voting (Kasich, Chabot, Portman, Oxley, Boehner, and Pryce voted against it.)

I will have plenty of time to look at Kasich's other votes from his days in Congress.
