The State of Ohio

Description

Ohio's chief elections officer is asking prosecutors around the state to investigate 17 people who voted in Ohio during the 2012 election. But Rep. Kathleen Clyde (D-Kent) says this revealed how rare of a problem voter fraud is in Ohio. The state Supreme Court has upheld the development of a 91-turbine wind farm in north-central Ohio, rejecting the opponents' arguments that they were denied due process rights. A state legislative panel has approved the first round of education innovation grants through Ohio's Straight A Fund.

Every year around this time, we start looking back over the last 11 months. This week, we look back at 2013 through Gov. John Kasich's eyes. He held his year-in-review event this time before a friendly crowd - the members of Ohio's Chambers of Commerce, at a hotel in downtown Columbus. The event started with comments from Senate President Keith Faber and House Speaker Bill Batchelder, who introduced Kasich as "the greatest governor in this country". And Faber announced a renewal of the Ohio Public Works program is likely for the fall ballot. Kasich ran down his administration's accomplishments by pointing out his cabinet members and advisers, starting with the CEO of JobsOhio. He talked about Medicaid and payment reform, about tax cuts, and about education. Then he turned to the social safety net, and admitted he's struggled with how to deal with some of the big issues there. He also made comments on the new severance tax proposal on big oil and natural gas drillers, and about his plan to bring in Limited founder Les Wexner to develop a plan to market Ohio to people who might not know much about the state.

Meanwhile, Democrats - who, like Kasich, are gearing up for next year's bi election - fired off a series of criticisms of the governor's presentation, saying that Ohio's unemployment rate is worse than the national average for the first time in three years, that the state is 44th in the nation for job creation over the last year, and that cuts to communities and tax breaks that favor the rich have hurt the middle class and stymied Ohio's economic recovery.

00:00:33	>> THE STATE'S TOP ELECTIONS OFFICIAL SAYS SOME PEOPLE WHO
00:00:36	VOTED IN THE 2012 ELECTION WEREN'T LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DO
00:00:38	SO. AND LOOKING BACK ON 2013 THROUGH
00:00:40	GOVERNOR KASICH'S EYES. ALL THIS WEEK ON "THE STATE OF
00:00:46	OHIO PEER, --"THE STATE OF OHIO ."
00:00:52	CAPTIONED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE
00:00:56	--WWW.NCICAP.ORG-- OHIO'S CHIEF ELECTIONS OFFICER
00:01:03	IS ASKING PROSECUTORS AROUND THE STATE TO INVESTIGATE 17 PEOPLE
00:01:05	WHO VOTED IN OHIO DURING THE 2012 ELECTION.
00:01:06	SECRETARY OF STATE JON HUSTED SAYS 17 NON-CITIZENS VOTED IN
00:01:09	THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION LAST YEAR, AND 274 NON-CITIZENS ARE
00:01:12	REGISTERED TO VOTE BEFORE DID NOT CAST A BALLOT.
00:01:14	HUSTED SAYS HIS OFFICE DISCOVERED THIS IN THE PROCESS
00:01:16	OF CLEANING UP VOTER ROLLS IN OHIO, WHICH HE SAYS HE DID BY
00:01:18	GOING TO THE BUREAU OF MOTOR VEHICLES, BECAUSE HE NOTES THAT
00:01:21	THE STATE DOESN'T HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE DATABASE OF ALL
00:01:24	NON-CITIZENS IN THE STATE. >> IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A DRIVER'S
00:01:27	LICENSE, SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A CITIZEN BUT RESIDING IN OHIO
00:01:33	LEGALLY MUST PROVIDE DON -- DOCUMENTATION TO DMV ON A
00:01:38	REGULAR BASIS. RECORDS SHOW THE 17 INDIVIDUALS
00:01:43	IN QUESTION DIVIDED NONCITIZEN DOCUMENTATION BEFORE THE
00:01:47	NOVEMBER 6, 2012 GENERAL ELECTION, AND HAVE SINCE
00:01:53	PROVIDED THE SAME NONCITIZEN INFORMATION.
00:01:54	THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE BASED ON INFORMATION THEY, THEY
00:01:58	THEMSELVES PROVIDED, WE HAVE A GREATER DEGREE OF CERTAINTY THAT
00:02:06	THEY WERE NOT CITIZENS AT THE TIME THAT THEY CAST BALLOTS IN
00:02:07	OHIO. >> HUSTED IS CAREFUL TO NOTE
00:02:08	THAT THE PEOPLE IN QUESTION ARE NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, BUT ARE
00:02:11	DOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE NON-CITIZENS, AND THEREFORE NOT
00:02:13	ELIGIBLE TO VOTE. HUSTED SAYS THE CASES OF THE 17
00:02:16	NON-CITIZENS WHO VOTED HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO VARIOUS COUNTY
00:02:20	PROSECUTORS, AND THAT LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE 274 OTHER
00:02:22	NON-CITIZENS WHO ARE REGISTERED BUT DIDN'T CAST BALLOTS TO
00:02:25	INFORM THEM THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO VOTE.
00:02:28	ONE CRITIC OF ELECTION LAW CHANGES SAYS SHE HAS NO PROBLEM
00:02:31	WITH HUSTED CROSSCHECKING VOTING INFORMATION WITH THE BMV
00:02:34	DATABASE. BUT DEMOCRATIC STATE
00:02:37	REPRESENTATIVE KATHLEEN CLYDE OF KENT SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT TO
00:02:40	REMEMBER THERE ARE FAR MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO VOTE
00:02:44	WHO ARE UNABLE TO CAST BALLOTS. >> YOU KNOW, ONCE AGAIN,
00:02:49	SECRETARY HUSTED HAS REVEALED HOW RARE OF A PROBLEM VOTER
00:02:53	FRAUD IS IN OHIO. COMPARED TO THE REAL PROBLEMS IN
00:02:58	OUR ELECTION, THE SECRETARY IS FOCUSED ON .0003% OF THE 5.63
00:03:06	MILLION VOTES CAST IN THE NOVEMBER 2012 ELECTION.
00:03:11	IN THAT SAME ELECTION, WE HAD MORE THAN 47,000 VOTERS HAD
00:03:16	THEIR VOTES THROWN OUT AND OVER 3 MILLION OHIOANS DIDN'T
00:03:19	PARTICIPATE IN THE ELECTION AT ALL.
00:03:25	>> CLYDE CAUTIONS THAT STATE OFFICIALS NEED TO BE CAREFUL IN
00:03:27	HOW THEY CHECK VOTING INFORMATION, BECAUSE SHE SAYS
00:03:28	THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH THE BMV DATABASE
00:03:30	THAT HUSTED RELIED ON FOR HIS ANALYSIS.
00:03:35	SHE SAYS THE FOCUS NEEDS TO BE ON WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE
00:03:37	VOTING EASIER FOR OHIOANS. THE STATE SUPREME COURT HAS
00:03:39	UPHELD THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 91- TURBINE WIND FARM IN NORTH-
00:03:43	CENTRAL OHIO, REJECTING THE OPPONENTS' ARGUMENTS THAT THEY
00:03:47	WERE DENIED DUE PROCESS RIGHTS. THE COURT'S DECISION AFFIRMS THE
00:03:51	APPROVAL BY THE OHIO POWER SITING BOARD OF THE BLACK FORK
00:03:55	WIND FARM, WHICH IS IN RICHLAND AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES.
00:03:57	THE COURT FOUND THAT THE OPPONENTS HAD PLENTY OF
00:04:00	OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE WIND FARM,
00:04:07	WHICH COULD GENERATE UP TO 200 MEGAWATTS OF POWER AND HAVE A
00:04:16	LIFE SPAN 25 YEARS. OHIO LAW REQUIRES THAT 25
00:04:18	PERCENT OF ELECTRICITY SOLD IN THE STATE COME FROM ALTERNATIVE
00:04:21	ENERGY SOURCES BY 2025, THOUGH ANOTHER LAW HAS BEEN PROPOSED BY
00:04:27	REPUBLICAN BILL SEITZ OF CINCINNATI THAT
00:04:30	WOULD CHANGE THOSE STANDARDS. MORE ON THAT COMING UP.
00:04:33	A STATE LEGISLATIVE PANEL HAS APPROVED THE FIRST ROUND OF
00:04:35	EDUCATION INNOVATION GRANTS THROUGH OHIO'S STRAIGHT A FUND.
00:04:37	THE CONTROLLING BOARD CLEARED $88 MILLION IN RECOMMENDED GRANT
00:04:39	FUNDING FOR 24 FINALISTS, SELECTED FROM 569 APPLICANTS.
00:04:42	STATE SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT RICHARD ROSS SAID THE SMALL
00:04:45	NUMBER OF WINNING APPLICATIONS INVOLVE 150 INSTITUTIONS AND
00:04:47	BENEFIT 360,000 CHILDREN. THE FUND WAS PART OF GOV.
00:04:56	JOHN KASICH'S BUDGET PROPOSAL, AND OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN
00:04:58	SEPTEMBER WITH THE GOAL OF REWARDING CREATIVE IDEAS THAT
00:05:02	SIGNIFICANTLY BOOST STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, REDUCE SPENDING OR
00:05:04	TARGET AN IMPRESSIVE SHARE OF RESOURCES INTO THE CLASSROOM.
00:05:06	DEMOCRATS ON THE PANEL CRITICIZED THE FUND'S ALL-WHITE,
00:05:08	ALL-REPUBLICAN GOVERNING BOARD FOR LACKING THE SAME DIVERSITY
00:05:12	FOUND IN OHIO'S SCHOOLS. BUT ROSS SAID A DIVERSE MIX OF
00:05:15	EDUCATORS AND OTHERS HELPED SCREEN THE APPLICATIONS.
00:05:19	EVERY YEAR AROUND THIS TIME, WE START LOOKING BACK OVER THE LAST
00:05:22	11 MONTHS. EACH YEAR I'VE SAT DOWN WITH THE
00:05:24	LEADERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE TOGETHER MY INTERVIEW WITH THE
00:05:28	HOUSE LEADERS WILL BE THE FIRST SHOW OF 2014, AND I EXPECT TO
00:05:30	HAVE A SIMILAR CONVERSATION WITH THE SENATE LEADERS THE FIRST
00:05:36	WEEKS OF JANUARY. AND I HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH
00:05:46	WITH REPUBLICAN BOB TAFT AND DEMOCRATIC TED STRICKLAND EACH
00:05:56	YEAR THEY WERE IN OFFICE. THE ADMINISTRATION OF GOV.
00:05:58	JOHN KASICH HAS DONE THINGS DIFFERENTLY IN MANY WAYS, AND
00:06:00	THE ANNUAL YEAR-END INTERVIEW IS ONE OF THEM.
00:06:02	HIS FIRST YEAR, HE INVITED STATEHOUSE REPORTERS TO A
00:06:05	MARATHON EVENT AT THE GOVERNOR'S RESIDENCE, WHERE HE AND HIS
00:06:07	CABINET MEMBERS WENT THROUGH THEIR LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN
00:06:10	A PRESENTATION THAT WAS REMARKABLE SIMILAR TO HIS TOWN-
00:06:12	HALL STYLE BUDGET ROLLOUT. HIS SECOND YEAR, HE SWAPPED OUT
00:06:14	THE CABINET MEMBERS AND MET THE MEDIA IN HIS STATEHOUSE OFFICE
00:06:21	WITH MARY TAYLOR, FLANKED BY HOUSE SPEAKER BILL BATCHELDER
00:06:22	AND SENATE PRESIDENT TOM NIEHAUS.
00:06:24	THIS YEAR, HE PRESENTED HIS YEAR-IN-REVIEW BEFORE A
00:06:31	FRIENDLY CROWD -- THE MEMBERS OF OHIO'S CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AT A
00:06:33	DOWNTOWN COLUMBUS HOTEL. THE GUESTS INCLUDED FORMER GOV.
00:06:37	BOB TAFT AND FORMER US REPRESENTATIVE DEBORAH PRYCE,
00:06:39	BOTH REPUBLICANS. ONCE AGAIN, KASICH WAS JOINED IN
00:06:46	THE SPOTLIGHT BY THE LEADERS OF THE LEGISLATURE, SENATE
00:06:47	PRESIDENT KEITH FABER AND SPEAKER BATCHELDER.
00:06:49	FABER REVIEWED THE LAST TWO BUDGETS, AND SAID LAWMAKERS
00:06:53	AREN'T DONE WITH TAX CUTS, WHICH HE AND OTHER REPUBLICANS HAVE
00:06:54	SAID BEFORE. FABER ALSO BLASTED THE FEDERAL
00:06:58	DEBT, SAYING THAT WHAT HE CALLED "HEADWINDS" FROM WASHINGTON ARE
00:07:00	TO BLAME FOR A LOT OF THE BAD ECONOMIC NEWS IN OHIO RECENTLY.
00:07:03	HE ALSO ANNOUNCED SOME NEWS THAT LEGISLATORS WANT TO RENEW
00:07:05	THE OHIO PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM, WHICH HELPS FUND INFRASTRUCTURE
00:07:08	PROJECTS AROUND THE STATE. >> A RESOLUTION THAT WILL ASK
00:07:11	OHIO VOTERS IN THE MAY ELECTION TO APPROVE
00:07:21	A CONTINUATION, NOT AT THE CURRENT LEVEL, BUT 200 MILLION
00:07:23	FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IS FULLY FUNDABLE AND KEEPS US AT THE
00:07:28	VERY LOW DEBT RATIO. THAT'S A GOOD THING.
00:07:30	>> FABER SAYS THE BOND RENEWAL REQUEST VOTERS COULD SEE IN MAY
00:07:35	WOULD BE A 10-YEAR REQUEST FOR $175 MILLION IN THE FIRST FIVE
00:07:38	YEARS AND $200 MILLION FOR THE SECOND FIVE, AND IT WOULD BE FOR
00:07:42	THE STATE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
00:07:44	THAT PROGRAM WAS LAST RENEWED BY VOTERS IN 1987.
00:07:47	SPEAKER BILL BATCHELDER TOOK THE MIC NEXT, AND PRAISED KASICH'S
00:07:52	APPROACH TO JOBS AS BEING SIMILAR TO THAT OF REPUBLICAN
00:08:04	FORMER GOVERNOR JIM RHODES. BUT THEN HE TALKED ABOUT ONE
00:08:06	AREA OF DISAGREEMENT WITH KASICH MEDICAID EXPANSION.
00:08:08	>> I DID NOT AGREE WITH THE STEPS THAT WERE TAKEN, BUT I CAN
00:08:11	TELL YOU THAT WE ARE NOW WORKING ON A MEDICAL
00:08:17	PLAN FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE THAT WILL HELP THEM IN
00:08:20	MANY WAYS. OUR FOLKS AT THE HOUSE OF
00:08:24	REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ACTUALLY UNDERTAKEN -- I BELIEVE RIGHT
00:08:28	NOW IT IS 15 PIECES OF LEGISLATION TO STRENGTHEN HEALTH
00:08:31	CARE IN OHIO. >> THEN BATCHELDER TURNED IT
00:08:33	OVER TO KASICH AFTER INTRODUCING HIM AS "THE GREATEST GOVERNOR IN
00:08:35	THE COUNTRY" WHO BATCHELDER SAID HAS STOOD UP TO CRITICISM THAT
00:08:37	HE CALLED "FANCIFUL". AS IS TYPICAL IN HIS SPEECHES,
00:08:40	KASICH MOVED AWAY FROM THE STAGE TOWARD THE AUDIENCE, AND BEGAN
00:08:43	BY POINTING OUT HIS CABINET MEMBERS AND CLOSE ADVISERS --
00:08:45	STARTING WITH JOBSOHIO CEO JOHN MINOR.
00:08:50	>> JOBSOHIO IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
00:08:59	TOOL IN AMERICA. OTHER STATES HAVE BEGUN TO
00:09:06	EMULATE IT, AND YOU WILL SEE WHY.
00:09:06	THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
00:09:08	IT IS IMPORTANT WHEN YOU TALK TO JOB CREATORS THAT YOU HAVE
00:09:13	PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD.
00:09:14	JAMIE DIMON DOES NOT WANT TO TALK TO A BUREAUCRAT THAT DOES
00:09:20	NOT UNDERSTAND FINANCIAL SERVICES, OK?
00:09:22	WE HAVE THE LARGEST NUMBER OF CHASE EMPLOYEES IN THE STATE OF
00:09:26	OHIO, DID YOU KNOW THAT? OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK, WE ARE
00:09:30	NUMBER ONE. HE IS A SMART GUY.
00:09:33	YOU HAVE TO TALK TO HIM. YOU HAVE TO MOVE QUICKLY, YOU
00:09:35	HAVE TO MOVE PAST -- FAST. IN THE PAST, THEY DIDN'T ANSWER
00:09:38	THE BELL QUICKLY ENOUGH. THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE
00:09:44	ISSUES AS THOROUGHLY AS THEY NEEDED TO.
00:09:45	JOBSOHIO WENT THROUGH POLITICAL NONSENSE.
00:09:48	WE HAVE GIVEN UP ON THAT AND NOW THIS ORGANIZATION IS STARTING TO
00:09:54	GROW AND FILL OUT ITS RANKS, AND FROM -- FOR ALL OF YOU,
00:09:59	UNDERSTAND THAT ECONOMIC GROWTH IS NOT JUST COME FROM THE TOP
00:10:01	DOWN, BUT IT COMES FROM THE BOTTOM UP.
00:10:06	>> KASICH SAID HE'S ON THE PHONE ALMOST EVERY DAY WITH CEOS TO
00:10:08	SELL THEM ON WHAT OHIO HAS TO OFFER, AND THEN HE THEN CALLED
00:10:15	ON CHAMBER MEMBERS WHO ENDORSED HIM IN 2010 TO BE MORE
00:10:16	SUPPORTIVE OF HIS IDEAS. THE OHIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAD
00:10:17	SUPPORTED MEDICAID EXPANSION AND THE INCOME TAX CUT IN HIS
00:10:19	INITIAL BUDGET, BUT HAD BALKED AT HIS PLANS TO EXPAND THE STATE
00:10:21	SALES TAX. >> I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, AS
00:10:31	MEMBERS OF THE CHAMBER TO ALWAYS BE FOR TAX CUTS.
00:10:37	I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT. WE HAVE TO DO IT.
00:10:41	WE HAVE TO PRODUCE A PERSONAL INCOME TAX.
00:10:42	$17 BILLION WALKED OUT OF THE STATE SINCE 1975 -- 1995.
00:10:48	WHERE DOES IT GO? FLORIDA, NEVADA, TEXAS,
00:10:54	TENNESSEE -- GUESS WHAT ALL OF THEM HAVE IN COMMON?
00:10:55	NO INCOME TAX. WE NEED TO REDUCE THESE TAXES IS
00:11:03	ANOTHER WAY TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO MOVE TO OUR STATE.
00:11:05	WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IMAGE. I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT LESS
00:11:13	WEXNER HAS AGREED TO LOOK AT A MARKETING PLAN FOR OUR STATE,
00:11:17	BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN PEOPLE LIVE IN CALIFORNIA I DO NOT
00:11:19	WANT. -- THE SPOUSE WORKED UP THAT THEY WILL BE MOVING TO OHIO
00:11:25	BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE NOTION.
00:11:27	WHEN PEOPLE GET ON AN AIRPLANE AND MOVED TO OHIO, THEY NEVER
00:11:30	LEAVE. IT IS GETTING THEM HERE TO
00:11:33	UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE. WE WILL TOGETHER A MARKETING
00:11:36	PLAN. YOU MIGHT SAY WHY WEXNER?
00:11:41	I HAVE TWO WL DAUGHTERS, AND THEY ARE NOT PLAYING FOOTBALL,
00:11:45	BUT IF I HAD A SON AND HE WAS GOING TO PLAY FOOTBALL, AND A
00:11:47	MANNING SAID LET ME SHOW HIM HOW TO PASS, I WOULD TAKE HIM UP ON
00:11:53	IT. I DO NOT KNOW IF WE WILL HAVE A
00:11:55	"THE TORILLA SECRET -- VICTORIA'S SECRET MARKETING PLAN
00:12:03	FOR OHIO, BUT IT IS NOT A BAD THOUGHT.
00:12:04	>> KASICH THEN TURNED TO MEDICAID, TALKING SPECIFICALLY
00:12:09	ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS AND DRUG ADDICTION, SAYING THAT WHAT HAS
00:12:12	BEEN DONE WITH THE MENTALLY ILL COUNTRY IS, QUOTING HIM, A
00:12:25	DISGRACE. >> YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT A PROGRAM
00:12:30	WE ARE GOING TO START WITH THE HIGHWAY PATROL MEETING WITH
00:12:33	SPORTS TEAMS TO TALK ABOUT THE DANGER OF DRUGS, AND WE NEED TO
00:12:35	GIVE THEM A REASON TO SAY NO. JUST SAY NO DOES NOT WORK.
00:12:39	ROSS USED TO TELL FOOTBALL PLAYERS WE ARE GOING TO DRUG
00:12:43	TEST YOU ON SUNDAY. HE WAS NOT GOING TO, BUT HE TOLD
00:12:49	THEM THAT SO THAT WHEN THEY WENT TO THE PARTY SATURDAY NIGHT, AND
00:12:53	SOMEBODY WAS PASSING AROUND PILLS, THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS HAD
00:12:57	A REASON TO SAY I CANNOT DO IT. WE HAVE TO GIVE OUR CHILDREN A
00:13:00	CHANCE TO SAY NO, AND WHEN MOTHERS AND FATHERS TALK TO
00:13:04	THEIR CHILDREN EXTENSIVELY ABOUT DRUGS, THERE IS A REDUCTION IN
00:13:08	USAGE. YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT A BIG
00:13:11	PROGRAM. IT IS EXCITING.
00:13:12	>> HE GOT APPLAUSE WHEN HE MENTIONED THE APPEAL OF THE
00:13:17	ESTATE TAX, AND THE PEELING BACK FROM THE BUREAUS OF WORKERS
00:13:23	COMPENSATION. HE ALSO NOTED THAT "WE MUST
00:13:25	ATTACH THE JOBS NEEDS OF TODAY AND TOMORROW TO OUR EDUCATION
00:13:28	SYSTEM WHEN TALKING ABOUT EDUCATION.
00:13:31	>> HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW MANY KIDS CANNOT READ AT A THIRD
00:13:40	GRADE LEVEL? A QUESTION -- WE SHOULD PUT THEM
00:13:46	IN THE FLOOR -- FOURTH GRADE WHEN THEY CANNOT READ IN THE
00:13:48	THIRD GRADE? THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
00:13:52	AND WE HAVE 24000 AND DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL EACH YEAR.
00:13:55	WE'RE GOING TO STOP THAT. THAT IS COMING YOUR WAY SOON.
00:13:59	>> AND THEN HE TURNED TO THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET, AND ADMITTED
00:14:04	HE'S STRUGGLED WITH HOW TO DEAL WITH SOME OF THE BIG ISSUES
00:14:06	THERE. >> YOU REMEMBER I SAID THAT IT'S
00:14:11	A SIN NOT TO HELP PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP?
00:14:12	MY MOTHER TOLD THIS, AND IT IS ALSO BIBLICAL.
00:14:17	IT IS A SIN TO HELP PEOPLE WHO NEED TO LEARN HOW TO HELP
00:14:21	THEMSELVES. [APPLAUSE]
00:14:22	EVERYONE WANTS TO CLAP FOR THAT SIDE OF IT. I GET IT.
00:14:27	IT IS SOME SORT OF A CONNECTION BETWEEN HEALTH, EDUCATION,
00:14:32	TRAINING, AND, PROBABLY, HAVING TO DO ALSO WITH A NUMBER OF
00:14:41	SOCIAL SERVICES THAT COME TOGETHER AT A POINT WHERE WE CAN
00:14:45	GET PEOPLE LIFTED. UNTIL MUCH OF THE SYSTEMS ARE
00:14:53	ARCHAIC, AND THEY ARE NOT FLEXIBLE.
00:14:55	IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT IS ON A BENEFIT
00:14:59	PROGRAM, AND THEY CAN GET A JOB, YET THEY CANNOT GET A JOB THAT
00:15:03	PAYS ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE GETTING, IT DOES NOT
00:15:06	WORK REALLY WELL, DOES IT? WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO
00:15:09	INCENTIVIZE PEOPLE BACK TO WORK, AND HERE IS THE REASON -- IF
00:15:14	PEOPLE ARE NOT WORKING OVER TIME, THE CHILDREN SEE A ROLE
00:15:18	MODEL AND AN EXAMPLE THAT IS NOT HELPFUL FOR THEIR FUTURE, AND I
00:15:23	LEARNED THIS IN WELFARE REFORM WHERE I WAS A MAJOR PARTICIPANT,
00:15:25	AND THEY SEND -- SAID WHEN WE WERE GOING TO ELIMINATE THE TIME
00:15:31	AND NOT LET PEOPLE BE ON WELFARE, PEOPLE SCREAMED IT
00:15:33	WOULD BE A DISASTER, AND NOW PEOPLE WHO ARE ON WELFARE SAY
00:15:39	THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID, THANK YOU FOR GETTING US OFF.
00:15:41	IT IS A EFFECTIVE TRAINING, AFFECTIVE EDUCATION, DECENT
00:15:44	HEALTH CARE BECAUSE POVERTY -- POVERTY, IT IS COOL.
00:15:49	ONE OUT OF EVERY FOUR KIDS IN OUR STATE LIVES IN POVERTY.
00:15:54	THINK ABOUT THAT. NOT MUCH TO EAT.
00:15:56	NOT GOOD CLOTHING TO WEAR. COATS FOR KIDS -- KIDS TO HAVE
00:16:04	COATS TO BE WARM. WE ARE GOING TO DO BETTER THAN
00:16:08	THAT IN THIS STATE. >> KASICH, BATCHELDER AND FABER
00:16:10	TOOK QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE ABOUT MUNICIPAL TAX CODE REFORM,
00:16:12	WHICH HAS PASSED THE HOUSE BUT HAS STALLED IN THE SENATE, AND
00:16:22	ABOUT CINCINNATI REPUBLICAN BILL SEITZ' ENERGY STANDARDS BILL,
00:16:24	WHICH HAS RAISED SO MANY CONCERNS THAT HEARINGS ON IT
00:16:26	HAVE BEEN PUT ON PAUSE. THAT BROUGHT THIS COMMENT FROM
00:16:27	KASICH. >> WE SUPPORT EVERYTHING
00:16:36	WE SUPPORT COAL, RENEWABLES, YOU WANT EVERYTHING.
00:16:41	YOU CANNOT SET A DATE BY GOVERNMENT PEOPLE WHO REALLY DO
00:16:46	NOT KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS, AND SAY WE ARE
00:16:48	GOING TO BE IN X PLACE. IT IS LIKE TELLING YOU YOU NEED
00:16:55	TO RUN A SEVEN-MINUTE MILE IN YOUR MARATHON, YOU CANNOT RUN A
00:17:02	MARATHON, AND YOU CANNOT RUN A SEVEN MINUTE MILE IF YOUR LIFE
00:17:05	DEPENDED ON THIS. MY MANDATING THIS, WE PUT PEOPLE
00:17:09	IN MANUFACTURING IN A DIFFICULT POSITION.
00:17:10	YOU DRIVE UP THE COST AND PUT PEOPLE OUT OF WORK.
00:17:13	>> AND KASICH ALSO REMARKED ON THE SEVERANCE TAX PROPOSAL THAT
00:17:16	WAS RECENTLY INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE, WHICH COULD GENERATE $1.7
00:17:19	BILLION DOLLARS OVER TEN YEARS WITH A 1%TAX ON THE VALUE OF OIL
00:17:20	AND GAS FROM EACH HORIZONTAL WELL IN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF
00:17:24	PRODUCTION, WHICH WOULD RISE TO 2% UNTIL PRODUCTION DECLINES.
00:17:31	AT THAT POINT IT WOULD DROP BACK TO 1%.
00:17:35	>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS THEY DEPLETE OUR RESOURCES, THEY
00:17:41	PAY FOR IT, OUT-OF-STATE PEOPLE, AND WHEN WE HAVE THE RESOURCES,
00:17:47	WE USE IT TO BENEFIT EVERYONE IN OHIO AND IT IS IMPORTANT WE GET
00:17:50	THAT DONE BECAUSE IT BEGINS TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT IS CRITICAL WE
00:17:54	KEEP THE INDUSTRY. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A
00:17:57	REASONABLE SEVERANCE TAX SO THAT SOMEONE IS NOT THE ONE ON THE
00:18:01	BALLOT THAT COULD PASS THIS STATE THAT COULD BECOME AN
00:18:03	IMPEDIMENT TO THE OPERATION OF THIS LONG-TERM, BUT BELIEVE ME,
00:18:09	WHAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT IN THE LEGISLATURE AND IN THE
00:18:11	ADMINISTRATION IS JUST FINE. IT WOULD BE THE LOWEST SEVERANCE
00:18:15	TAX IN THE COUNTRY, AND IT WOULD STILL BENEFIT EVERYONE.
00:18:18	>> KASICH SAID LATER IN A GAGGLE WITH REPORTERS THAT HE WAS NOT
00:18:22	ENDORSING THE PROPOSAL AND THAT IT IS NOT ENOUGH.
00:18:29	KASICH WAS ASKED ABOUT A COMMENT -- ABOUT EXPANDING ON A PLAN TO
00:18:39	MARKET OHIO AFTER JOBSOHIO WOULD BE EMBARKING ON A CAMPAIGN TO
00:18:47	COMBAT A NEGATIVE PUBLIC IMAGE. >> I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT
00:18:51	IS GOING TO WORK. I TOLD HIM ONE OF THE MOST
00:18:54	IMPORTANT THINGS WE NEED TO DO IS MARKET OUR STATE.
00:18:56	YOU FIND IT EVERYWHERE, WHETHER IT IS NICELY IN CLEVELAND, OR
00:19:06	AEP HERE IN COLUMBUS, WHEN PEOPLE GET TO OHIO, THEY REALIZE
00:19:11	THERE IS NO TRAFFIC. TWO, THE COST OF LIVING IS SO
00:19:16	MUCH LOWER HERE THAN IT IS ON THE COAST, AND EVEN IN PLACES
00:19:19	LIKE CHICAGO. THREE, WE HAVE GREAT SCHOOLS.
00:19:22	FOUR, WE HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE TERRIFIC, BUT THE ISSUE IS
00:19:29	HOW DO YOU GET THEM HERE? WHEN THEY ARE OUT SOMEWHERE ON
00:19:34	THE WEST COAST, AND THEY HAVE A NOTION, HOW -- AND OCEAN, HOW DO
00:19:41	YOU TELL PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE?
00:19:42	HOW DO YOU TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE EXCITING RING AROUND DAYTON?
00:19:48	YOU HAVE TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS BECAUSE ONCE THEY KNOW,
00:19:51	THEY WANT TO BE HERE, AND THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF COOL.
00:19:57	THE COOL FACTOR MATTERS. OVER THE RHINE, DOWN IN
00:20:01	CINCINNATI, IT IS COOL. PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE DOWNTOWN.
00:20:04	IN CLEVELAND, YOU CANNOT RENT AN APARTMENT BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS
00:20:10	GONE DOWNTOWN. I SAID THE REAL ISSUE IS WE HAVE
00:20:13	TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THIS MARKETING.
00:20:14	HE SAID LET ME TAKE A WHACK AT IT, AND I SAID THAT WOULD BE
00:20:20	FANTASTIC. FOR HOW IT IS ALL GOING TO WORK,
00:20:22	I CANNOT QUITE TELL YOU, BUT I AM EXCITED TO HAVE HIM INVOLVED.
00:20:26	HE IS A BRILLIANT MARKETER, AND WE COULD NOT HAVE ANYONE BETTER.
00:20:31	HOW IS GOING TO WORK, I DO NOT KNOW, BUT WE ARE LOOKING
00:20:33	FORWARD. >> KASICH MOVED FROM THAT INTO A
00:20:38	DISCUSSION OF A POINT FROM HIS PRESENTATION ABOUT PAYMENT
00:20:43	REFORM, AN EFFORT HE LAUNCHED QUIETLY LAST YEAR.
00:20:45	IN THE SPEECH, HE CALLED IT A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN THE WAY
00:20:47	PEOPLE WILL BE TREATED, AND ALSO HE SAID IT WAS A REPUBLICAN
00:20:49	ALTERNATIVE TO OBAMACARE THAT DOES NOT DEAL WITH COSTS.
00:20:52	>> WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE HIGH COST PROVIDERS AND LOW-COST
00:21:00	PROVIDERS, AND THE QUALITY DIFFERENCES ARE NEGLIGIBLE, SO
00:21:03	THE QUESTION IS WHY DO WE HAVE SOME HIGH-COST PROVIDERS AND
00:21:08	LOWER COST PROVIDERS, AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO MOVE THE HIGHER
00:21:10	COST PROVIDERS TOWARDS A MORE EFFICIENT, YET GOOD QUALITY
00:21:16	QUESTION WE HAVE HAD MEETINGS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES, --
00:21:19	QUALITY? WE HAVE HAD MEETINGS WITH
00:21:25	INSURANCE COMPANIES, PROVIDERS, ALL OF THIS COMING OUT OF THE
00:21:29	MEDICAL CORRIDOR WHERE PEOPLE ARE WORKING TOGETHER.
00:21:31	NOW THERE IS GENERAL AGREEMENT WHERE WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A
00:21:34	COUPLE OF AREAS AND TRY THIS WHOLE BUSINESS OF INVESTING IN
00:21:37	VALUE. SO, IF YOU CAN GET THE PROVIDERS
00:21:40	TO SHARE THE SAVINGS OR THE INSURANCE COMPANIES TO SHARE THE
00:21:45	SAVINGS WITH THOSE THAT PROVIDE, IT IS PRETTY REMARKABLE.
00:21:48	THEN YOU CHANGE THE DYNAMIC AWAY FROM SEA-FOUR-SERVICE, AWAY FROM
00:21:54	EPISODIC TREATMENT, AND YOU NOW START TO CONCENTRATE ON HOW TO
00:22:00	KEEP SOMEONE HEALTHY OR GET SOMEONE HEALTHY WITHOUT HAVING
00:22:02	TO HAVE THEM COME BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE A
00:22:04	PROBLEM WITH, YOU KNOW, INFECTION OR WHATEVER.
00:22:06	THIS IS A BIG DEAL. FROM THAT, COMES THE ISSUE OF
00:22:12	THE EXPLOSION OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY,
00:22:16	ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT, BUT THE MINUTE YOU
00:22:18	GET PEOPLE TO COOPERATE, AND THIS IS REALLY HARD.
00:22:22	GREG MOODY KEEPS TELLING ME, IT IS HARD.
00:22:23	DO NOT GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF. YOU KNOW ME, I TRY TO GET AHEAD
00:22:30	OF THE MALL. THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT IDEA.
00:22:32	THAT CAN HELP US, IN ORDINATION WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR, TO HAVE
00:22:38	A NEW WAY IN WHICH WE ARE ABOUT HEALTH CARE COSTS AND MEDICINE
00:22:42	IN THE FUTURE. WE HAVE JOINED A PAYMENT REFORM
00:22:43	GROUP. WE ARE ONE OF TWO STATES UNIT.
00:22:47	WE WORK WITH COMPANIES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
00:22:49	IT IS VERY GOOD. >> AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT IN THE
00:22:52	DAYS BEFORE A BIG ELECTION YEAR STARTING, DEMOCRATS WEREN'T
00:22:55	IMPRESSED WITH THE GOVERNOR'S COMMENTS.
00:22:57	IN WHAT APPEARED TO BE A COORDINATED SET OF E-MAILS THE
00:22:59	AFTERNOON AFTER HIS SPEECH BEFORE THE CHAMBER, STATEMENTS
00:23:01	CAME FROM LEADING DEMOCRATS INCLUDING JOHN CARNEY OF
00:23:08	COLUMBUS, WHO SAYS HE'LL CHALLENGE REPUBLICAN AUDITOR
00:23:10	DAVE YOST NEXT YEAR. HE WRITES -- "IT IS
00:23:17	DISAPPOINTING THAT NONE OF OHIO'S LEADERS TOOK
00:23:19	RESPONSIBILITY TODAY FOR THE POOR SHAPE OF OUR ECONOMY IN
00:23:20	OHIO. OVER 427,000 OHIOANS ARE OUT OF
00:23:22	WORK AND OHIO'S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS WORSE THAN THE NATIONAL
00:23:24	AVERAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS.
00:23:28	IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT GOVERNOR KASICH'S CONTROVERSIAL PROJECT,
00:23:33	JOBSOHIO, IS NOT WORKING." MATT LUNDY OF ELYRIA LASHED OUT
00:23:37	ABOUT JOBSOHIO AS WELL, WRITING: "IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT GOVERNOR
00:23:39	KASICH WOULD OVERSELL JOBSOHIO WHEN WE'RE 44TH IN THE NATION
00:23:41	FOR JOB CREATION OVER THE LAST YEAR.
00:23:47	OHIO'S JOB GROWTH HAS TRAILED THE NATIONAL RATE FOR THE PAST
00:23:49	12 MONTHS AND THE SECRECY AT JOBSOHIO HAS FAILED TO PRODUCE
00:23:56	ANY OF THE PROMISED RESULTS." DEBBIE PHILLIPS OF ATHENS, WHO
00:23:59	HAD BEEN SUGGESTED AS A POSSIBLE CANDIDATE FOR LIEUTENANT
00:24:01	GOVERNOR FOR THE DEMOCRATS, WROTE A SIMILAR STATEMENT THAT
00:24:11	READS IN PART, "GOVERNOR KASICH AND OHIO'S GOP ELECTED OFFICIALS
00:24:13	NEED AN ECONOMIC REALITY CHECK. INSTEAD OF PRIORITIZING
00:24:15	MILLIONAIRES AND SPECIAL INTERESTS, OHIO NEEDS TO GROW
00:24:17	OUR ECONOMY BY PUTTING WORKING AND MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES FIRST.
00:24:24	WHAT WE HEARD IS MORE OF THE SAME FAILED TRICKLE-DOWN
00:24:26	POLICIES, WHICH KNOCKED OHIO BACK DOWN JUST WHEN WE WERE
00:24:28	STARTING ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY."
00:24:34	AND MINORITY LEADER TRACY MAXWELL HEARD WROTE -- "CUTS TO
00:24:36	COMMUNITIES AND TAX BREAKS THAT FAVOR THE RICH HAVE HURT THE
00:24:38	MIDDLE CLASS AND STYMIED OHIO'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY.
00:24:43	WE NEED TO PUT WORKING FAMILIES FIRST.
00:24:47	WE WILL HEAR MORE FROM HEARD, ALONG WITH SPEAKER BILL
00:24:53	BATCHELDER IN TWO WEEKS IN OUR YEAR END INTERVIEW WITH THE TOP
00:24:55	LEADERS IN THE HOUSE. AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS WEEK.
