Everyone I've talked with is already disgusted with Gov.-elect John Kasich and he hasn't even taken office yet! Why are people upset with Kasich? I'm so glad you asked!
(1) Kasich has targeted public school teachers because he thinks they are too powerful. It might be that he thinks that public school teachers should be paid the same dismally low wages that the teachers are paid at his daughters' school.
(2) Kasich hates public employees, but he was able to get their pensions to invest in the worthless crap of Lehman Brothers.
(3) Kasich is already refusing to release public information to taxpayers regarding how much of our tax money went to pay for extra security at his private home. How long will it be before a citizen, group, or newspaper will sue to get that information? Someone needs to tell Kasich what transparency means.
(4) Those of us who live in central Ohio are getting queasy about the way that the right wing Columbus Dispatch has fallen in love with all things Kasich. The message that the Dispatch is conveying is that he is their god, and does no wrong.
(5) Before even taking office and looking at the financial books, Kasich's appointee to the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, Steve Buehrer, has pondered the idea to reduce benefits for injured workers. Right now, companies in the state pay for Worker Comp insurance to the state. Since Kasich and Buehrer want to save businesses money, cutting benefits would be their way to do it. (See PR-USA.net)
This is by no means a complete list, but it shows you that with Kasich's slim victory in the election, not everyone is a member of his fan club.
* Plunderbund is reporting that tickets are still available for the Kasich inauguration. Looks like no one wants to go to his free event in a facility that holds just over 2,000 people. Don't worry. His people will bring in their sheeple even if they have to pay them to fill the seats.
