Where does Kasich get his statistics?

Every single time Republican candidate for governor, John Kasich, opens his mouth, he talks about how great it is in Naples, Florida.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for Naples, Florida, for June 2010 was 12.3%.  In checking the same website for Columbus, Ohio, the unemployment rate for Columbus, Ohio, for June 2010 was 9.2%.

Kasich is NOT entitled to his own facts and figures. Why does Kasich continue to compare our state to Florida?  No matter what Kasich claims, things don't look so great in Florida.
