Don't forget!


Today is the 3rd anniversary of Gov. John Kasich signing SB5. Remind your friends of this sad event in Ohio history. We will remember in November that Kasich and the GOP tried to obliterate the rights of workers in Ohio.  If he is re-elected, he will most likely try again.

How well is Ohio's economy doing under Kasich? If you look at the layoffs posted at ODJFS and the state's ranking on job creation, you'll notice that Ohio is NOT doing well at all.

The list from ODJFS shows just the layoffs from the beginning of 2014:

Innovation Ohio has this:

Ohio lost jobs in February, lags the nation in job creation

Today, February employment data was released that shows the state’s unemployment rate reaching 6.5 percent, its first dip below the national rate since July. The decline suggests job-seekers are leaving the job market, because the number of Ohioans with jobs actually declined.

In February, the number of Ohioans with jobs decreased by 4,600, with large declines reported in construction and local government. Job numbers for January were also revised downward. As a result, Ohio continues to lag the national rate of employment gains since Governor Kasich took office — just 4.3% compared to 5.3% for the US as a whole.
3.21.14 february jobs




At the invitation of mega-GOP campaign contributor, Sheldon Adelson, Gov. John Kasich spoke at a big meeting in Las Vegas a few days ago. Those who've heard Kasich's speeches in the past remarked that he delivered his regular stump speech. One audience member called Kasich's speech a "nothingburger." You know what a "notingburger" is---- it is Kosher corned beef on white bread with mayo. Yuck!

>>> John Boehner and the Republicans have caused the economy to lose billions of dollars! How? Politicususa has the details.
