How is it that Gov. John Kasich can't explain why Ohio continues to see job layoffs?
Vindy.com:
Two Ohio House members and the Youngstown City Council president, all Democrats, criticized Republican Gov. John Kasich and JobsOhio for giving a $4.5 million tax credit to a company that is closing its Boardman facility.
In Sunday’s Vindicator, it was reported that JobsOhio, a privatized nonprofit created by Kasich’s administration to run the state’s economic-development efforts, recommended the job creation tax credit that was approved by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority.
The tax credit keeps Verizon in Ohio, but will result in the company closing its Boardman facility, which employs 381, by early next year....

(Note: this is only a partial list)
How does a company get a tax credit even if they layoff people? Is this corporate welfare??? Where is the "Ohio job miracle" that Kasich talks about in his speeches?
>>>> Isn't it odd that the government shutdown pushed by Republican John Boehner and other Ohio Republicans will cost local communities millions of dollars per day?
DaytonDailyNews:
If the government shuts down at midnight, it will cost $5 million per day in lost wages throughout the Miami Valley.....
The Republicans that represent western Ohio, John Boehner and Mike Turner, should be blamed for this mess. Boehner, Turner, and the rest of the GOPers don't care about average Americans and the local communities. The Republicans just don't know how to govern.
