00:00:01>> GOVERNOR KASICH OFFERS A
SLEEPY GET SOME BIG BENEFITS IN
00:00:43HIS BUDGET.
HE LEAVES OFF THE DETAILS ON HOW
00:00:47TO PAY FOR THEM.
I SIT DOWN WITH THE NEW SPEAKER
00:00:50AND MINORITY LEADER TO TALK
ABOUT THE BUDGET AND WHAT THEY
00:00:52HOPE TO GET DONE IN A HOUSE WITH
A HISTORIC NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS
00:00:56ARE SPLIT ON SOME ISSUES AND A
RECORD LOW NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS.
00:01:00THIS WEEK IN STATE OF OHIO.
THE MOST POPULAR GUESSING GAME
00:01:11HAS BEEN WHAT IS IN GOVERNOR
JOHN KASICH'S BUDGET.
00:01:17IT WILL BE RELEASED ON MONDAY.
THE GOVERNOR DROPPED SOME HINTS
00:01:19ON THURSDAY.
PLANS TO CUT ALL INCOME TAXES
00:01:23FOR SMALL BUSINESSES BRINGING UP
TO $2 MILLION IN GROSS RECEIPTS.
00:01:29HE WANTS TO DOUBLE THE PERSONAL
INCOME TAX EXEMPTION FOR LOW
00:01:34INCOME OHIOANS AND MAKE FREE
CHILDCARE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE
00:01:39UP TO 300% OF THE FEDERAL
POVERTY LEVEL.
00:01:44HE IS THREATENING TO WITHHOLD
FEDERAL FUNDS THAT COME TO
00:01:47AGENCIES FROM THE STATE.
IF THEY DON'T STREAMLINE
00:01:49SERVICES.
AS HE WAS SPEAKING BEFORE
00:01:50LEADERS, THE LEADERS OF THE
HOUSE AND SENATE WERE SPEAKING
00:02:01BEFORE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
THEIR CONCERNS WERE PRIMARILY ON
00:02:02HOW KASICH WANTS TO PAY FOR
THIS.
00:02:03IN THE PAST HE HAS INCREASED
TAXES ON CIGARETTES AND A
00:02:10BROADENING OF THE STATE SALES
TAX.
00:02:12OR FOR, MAKER STRIP OUT THE
SEVERANCE TAX AND PULLED BACK
00:02:14THE SALES TAX.
-- REPUBLICAN LEADER SCRIPT OUT
00:02:20THE SEVERANCE TAX AND PULLED
BACK THE SALES TAX.
00:02:21REPUBLICAN SENATE PRESIDENT SAID
THAT HE IS HAPPY THE GOVERNOR
00:02:25WANTS TO CONTINUE TAXCUTTING BUT
HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE
00:02:29DETAILS >> I'M HAPPY TO HEAR
THAT THE GOVERNOR WILL CONTINUE
00:02:34THE SENATE'S EFFORTS TO REDUCE
THE SMALL INCOME BUSINESS TAX.
00:02:38IT IS JUST FROM A TORY.
AND IN AND ARE AWARE WE KNOW
00:02:43THAT MOST JOBS IN OHIO AREN'T
SMART BUSINESSES, WE BELIEVE
00:02:45THAT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
TREAT THEM IN A TAX FAIRNESS
00:02:49WAY.
-- IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE
00:02:53ARE AWARE THAT MOST JOBS IN OHIO
ARE IN SMALL BUSINESSES, WE
00:02:58BELIEVE THAT IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT WE TREAT THEM IN IT THEIR
00:03:00WAY.
THE SENATE CAN GET BEHIND WHEN
00:03:04THEY TALK TO OUR MEMBERS.
MOST ARE FOR ELIMINATING THE
00:03:07SMALL BUSINESS INCOME TAX VERSUS
MORE ACROSS THE BOARD CUTS.
00:03:10ACROSS-THE-BOARD INCOME TAX CUTS
ARE GOOD TOO.
00:03:18THE INCOME TAX, ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT MAKES OHIO NOT AS
00:03:23COMPETITIVE.
ADD TO THAT ALL OF THE LOCAL
00:03:24TAXES AND ALL OF THE OTHER
BURDENS AND WE GET TO A
00:03:30SITUATION WE ARE WE ARE NOT
GETTING EVERYTHING WE COULD.
00:03:31THE BEST WAY IS TO GROW JOBS AND
HAVE A STRONGER ECONOMY.
00:03:35WE PROVED THE OLD REAGAN ADAGE
THAT IF YOU CUT TAXES YOU CAN
00:03:42IMPROVE INCOME.
WE CUT TAXES AND INCOME WENT UP
00:03:46FOR THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK
00:03:47HELPS A SHOW THAT WE WERE ON THE
RIGHT TRACK.
00:03:52I HAVE TO SEE THE LIST OF THINGS
HE WANTS TO ADJUST.
00:03:55THE GOVERNOR HAS BEEN CLEAR WHAT
HE THINKS IT IS OK TO MAKE
00:03:57CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS AS LONG AS
IT IS OFFSET WITH AN INCOME TAX
00:04:01CUT.
THE SENATE WILL NOT CONSIDER THE
00:04:02TAX REFORM PLAN THAT DOES NOT
TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
00:04:09REVENUE OFF THE TABLE FOR THE
STATE.
00:04:10THAT IS NOT TAX CUT, THAT IS NOT
EVEN TAX REFORM, THAT IS TAX
00:04:19SHIFTING.
CLIFF ROSENBERGER WAS MORE
00:04:22EMPHATIC.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT THIS
00:04:25CAUCUS WILL EXCEPT TAX SHIFTING.
WE WILL LOOK AT THE DETAILS HERE
00:04:28BUT THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS
THAT I THINK THAT WE HAVE AN
00:04:33OBLIGATION TO GO OUT IN THE
COMMITTEE AND SAY, HELP US WITH
00:04:36THE ANSWERS HERE AND MAKE SURE
WE ARE GETTING TO THE RIGHT
00:04:42FORMULA HERE.
FURTHERMORE, ANYTHING THAT
00:04:43CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN THE
QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OHIOANS IS A
00:04:47GOOD THING.
>> DEMOCRATIC SENATE LEADER SAID
00:04:53HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT A
DIFFERENT KIND OF TAX SHIFTING.
00:04:56>> I DON'T WANT TO DO WHAT WE
DID LAST TIME WHERE WE ARE
00:04:58TAKING A FEW DOLLARS OUT OF ONE
BACK IT AND PUTTING IT IN THE
00:05:03OTHER.
IN THE STATE TAXES, YOU INCREASE
00:05:07THE STATE'S SHARE FOR LEVEES.
YOU INCREASE THIS.
00:05:10IF THEY'RE GETTING A FEW BLOCKS
BACK IN THEIR, AND THEY ARE
00:05:23PLAYING OUT OTHER PLACES AND
MORE UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT WE DID
00:05:27LAST TIME.
YOU CAN MAKE A MEANINGFUL IMPACT
00:05:35IN EVERYDAY OHIOANS LIVES.
>> FRED STRAHORN LEADS MINORITY
00:05:40DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE.
IN 2005, WHEN TAX CUTS
00:05:45INSTITUTED BY THE FORMER
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR WENT INTO
00:05:47EFFECT THAT INCOME TAXES DID GO
DOWN BUT COLLEGE TUITION WENT
00:05:49UP.
THIS WAS MORE THAN THE RETURNS
00:05:56TO MIDDLE-CLASS TAXPAYERS.
QUEST WE HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION
00:05:58TO WHEN WE CUT ATTACKS AND IF WE
CAN DO IT WITHOUT HARMING PEOPLE
00:06:00IN THAT WAY.
I DON'T WANT TO KEEP PUSHING
00:06:03THAT RESPONSIBILITY DOWN HILL TO
PEOPLE WHO CAN LEAST AFFORD IT.
00:06:07>> THE FEW BUCK'S THE TAXPAYERS
GOT BACK ADDED UP TO $3 BILLION.
00:06:15HE SAID IT IS NOT CHUMP CHANGE.
BEFORE THAT PANEL, I GOT THE
00:06:22OPPORTUNITY TO SIT DOWN FOR A
WIDE-RANGING CONVERSATION ABOUT
00:06:24THE PRIORITIES FOR BOTH
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS IN THE
00:06:27HOUSE.
WITH SPEAKER CLIFF ROSENBERGER
00:06:31AND MINORITY LEADER FRED
STRAYHORN --STRAHORN.
00:06:33YOU ARE FROM THE SOUTHWESTERN
PART OF OHIO.
00:06:37IS THERE A NEW PROVIDENCE COMING
OUT OF THAT PART OF THE STATE?
00:06:43>> I THINK SO, SOUTHWEST OHIO IS
UNITING.
00:06:47WHAT IS GREAT IS THAT COLLECTED
LEADERSHIP POSITION, I KNOW THAT
00:06:52LEADER STRAHORN SEES THIS THE
SAME WAY.
00:06:57YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION WHETHER
YOU ARE FROM SOUTHERN, CENTRAL,
00:07:02NORTHERN OHIO, REPUBLICAN,
DEMOCRAT.
00:07:03WE ARE UNITED FOR THE 11 AND A
HALF MILLION CITIZENS OF THE
00:07:06STATE THEY CAN SURE WE PROVIDE
THE BEST QUALITY OF LIFE.
00:07:10>> IT IS HARD TO TOP THAT BUT I
HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE SPEAKER.
00:07:15THE VALLEY HAS A TRADITION OF
SENDING REALLY GOOD LEADERS
00:07:20HERE.
I DON'T NECESSARILY SEE THIS AS
00:07:26NEW PROMINENCE BUT THE FOCAL
POINT IS THAT WE LOVE THIS
00:07:31INSTITUTION, WE LOVE THE STATE
AND WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE
00:07:33DOING OUR JOBS EFFECTIVELY.
>> YOU ARE LEADING THE MAJORITY
00:07:42OF REPUBLICANS, THAT DOESN'T
MEAN IT WILL BE EASY.
00:07:43YOU DID HAVE A CHALLENGER.
THERE WERE SOME TEETH CARDIAC
00:07:47INVESTS BACKING THAT CHALLENGER.
THEY ARE CONCERNED THAT YOU ARE
00:07:52A RUBBERSTAMP FOR GOVERNOR
KASICH.
00:07:53THEY SAID THAT THE HOUSE IS
INSTITUTION AT WILL LEAD ON ITS
00:07:57OWN AND HAVE ITS OWN AGENDA.
>> WE HAVE NEIGHBORING PARTNERS,
00:08:02JUST AS EVERY POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION HAS A PARTNER TO
00:08:04WORK WITH AND WE WILL REACH OUT
AND LOOK FOR WAYS TO WORK WITH
00:08:09THE SENATE, WORK WITH THE
GOVERNOR.
00:08:14I THINK WE'LL HAVE THE SAME
GOALS IN MIND.
00:08:15MY GOAL IS FOR THIS INSTITUTION
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
00:08:19PROMULGATING AND PUTTING UP
AGENDAS THAT WE THINK ARE RIGHT
00:08:21FOR THE STATE OF OHIO.
LEADER STRAHORN AND MYSELF,
00:08:25REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT, WE CAN
BRIDGE THIS CHASM THAT DIVIDES
00:08:33US.
I DON'T THINK IT IS THAT DEEP.
00:08:34I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
LEADER STRAHORN AND WE HAVE A
00:08:40GREAT RELATIONSHIP.
I THINK WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO
00:08:42SOME GOOD THINGS.
THAT IS HOW WE CONTINUE TO WORK
00:08:43WITH EVERYBODY ELSE.
>> ON THE FLIPSIDE, YOU HAVE A
00:08:48HISTORICALLY SMALL MINORITY, THE
LOWEST SINCE THE CURRENT HOUSE
00:08:54WAS CREATED 48 YEARS AGO.
HOW WILL YOU HANDLE BEING WITH A
00:08:59SMALLER GROUP THAN TYPICAL?
>> I TELL PEOPLE THIS ALL THE
00:09:03TIME, WITH A COUPLE OF
EXCEPTIONS, REPUBLICANS AND
00:09:07DEMOCRATS WANT THE SAME THING.
WE WANT IT SCHOOLS, AND WANT
00:09:10SAFE IT COMMITTEES, A THRIVING
ECONOMY.
00:09:15-- WE WANT SAFE SCHOOLS, WE WANT
SAFE COMMUNITIES.
00:09:19THE SPEAKER HAS BEEN GREAT TO
WORK WITH.
00:09:23HE IS REACHING OUT, REALLY
PRETTY MUCH ON THAT BASIS, THAT
00:09:29WE WANT TO FOCUS ON THE WORK,
NOT THE PERSONALITY AND NOT
00:09:32HYPER FOCUSED ON PARTISANSHIP.
IF WE DO THAT, WE CAN STILL BE
00:09:35RELEVANT IN THE MINORITY BECAUSE
THAT IS NOT REALLY WHAT THE
00:09:41ISSUE IS, THE ISSUE IS ARE WE
DOING THE WORK FOR THE VAST
00:09:43MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE
STATE OF OHIO?
00:09:45>> THE SPEAKER SET A TONE OF
BIPARTISANSHIP WITH HIS FIRST
00:09:48COMMENT.
WERE YOU EXPECTING THAT?
00:09:51REPUBLICANS DON'T NEED A LOT OF
DEMOCRATIC HELP TO DO WHAT THEY
00:09:57NEED TO DO.
>> I CAN SAY THAT EVEN AS WE
00:10:05WERE MOVING INTO OUR OFFICIAL
RULES, WE HAD BEEN ELECTED AS
00:10:07LEADERS OF OUR OFFICIAL
CAUCUSES.
00:10:10>> REPUBLICANS, YOU HAVE A HUGE
MAJORITY HERE.
00:10:27>> WE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF
COMPROMISE.
00:10:28AT THE END OF THE DAY,
COMPROMISE GIVES US THE BEST
00:10:33PIECE OF LEGISLATION.
LOOK AT WHAT WE SET AS
00:10:35PRIORITIES.
I SAID IN THE PRESS CONFERENCE,
00:10:38THIS IS NOT 1-10, 13 100 AND 20.
ALL OF OUR MEMBERS, I AM THE
00:10:43SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NOT JUST
FOR THE REPUBLIC AND CAUCUS BUT
00:10:48FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
WE WILL NOT AGREE ON EVERYTHING
00:10:53AND WE WILL HAVE DIFFERENCES AND
WE WILL HAVE DIFFERENCES ON HOW
00:10:55WE GET COMPLACENT ON THINGS WE
AGREE ON.
00:11:00THE BEST WAY WE CAN HELP OHIOANS
IS TO ENSURE THAT WE
00:11:01COLLABORATE.
AND WHAT WE SHOULD NOT BE --
00:11:07HAVING A 65 SEAT MAJORITY, THAT
DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE IGNORE THE
00:11:12MINORITY CAUCUS AND HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION.
00:11:14THERE ARE SOME GREAT THINGS THAT
WE CAN TALK TOGETHER.
00:11:16WE WILL FOCUS ON IT.
LEADER STRAHORN KNOWS THAT.
00:11:23EMPOWERING WOMEN.
WE WILL START FORM, TALKING TO
00:11:29THE LEADER STRAYHORN.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LIVING IN THE
00:11:36INNER-CITY OR AN APPELLATION AND
MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THAT MOVING
00:11:43FORWARD.
WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS WE AGREE
00:11:44ON.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU, JUST AS
00:11:46EQUALLY, LEADER STRAHORN IS A
GENTLEMAN.
00:11:52HE HAS BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH.
WE HAVE HAD GOOD DIALOGUE.
00:11:54THAT IS HOW GOVERNMENT SHOULD
WORK.
00:11:57>> ON THE ISSUE OF ADVANCING
PEOPLE IN MINORITY COMMITTEES
00:12:03AND WOMEN, THERE HAS BEEN SOME
CRITICISM OF YOUR COMMITTEE
00:12:06CHAIRS.
MEN ARE IN CHARGE OF 21 OF 25
00:12:12COMMITTEES AND THERE IS ONLY ONE
PERSON OF COLOR.
00:12:13>> WE HAVE A LOT OF LEADERS, WE
HAVE A LOT OF TALENT.
00:12:16JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE FOLKS IN
LEADERSHIP POSITIONS, WE WILL
00:12:22HAVE A VERY OPEN THINKING
PROCESS.
00:12:23LOOK AT THE LEGISLATURE.
I THINK WE HAVE 13 OF 13 AND
00:12:30EACH CAUCUS OF WOMEN LEGISLATORS
AND THAT IS IMPORTANT.
00:12:33WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO EMPOWER
THEM.
00:12:35WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW
LEGISLATORS.
00:12:38IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
BRING THESE PEOPLE UP.
00:12:40YOU WILL SEE THAT CONTINUE.
THAT IS A GOOD THING.
00:12:45>> LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE
SPECIFICS YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL
00:12:49WITH.
LET'S TALK ABOUT MEDICAID
00:12:50EXPANSION FIRST.
THIS FIGHT IS OLD NEWS, THAT
00:12:56THIS IS IN PLACE AND NOW IT IS A
MATTER OF HOW TO DEAL WITH IT.
00:12:58BUT WE ASKED THE SPEAKER
DIRECTLY, IS THERE ANY PLANS TO
00:13:05ATTACH ANY WELFARE TO WORK OR
SOME CONDITIONS ON MEDICAID
00:13:07EXPANSION?
WHAT DO YOU DO AT THIS POINT?
00:13:10>> I'M ANXIOUS TO TALK WITH THE
LEADER ON THIS.
00:13:13I THINK THERE IS A MUTUAL
AGREEMENT ON WHAT WE CAN DO TO
00:13:17ACCOMPLISH GOOD THINGS AND HAVE
STABILITY FOR THE PROGRAM.
00:13:23A PROGRAM THAT IS SOLELY ON THE
DEPENDENCY OF THE PROGRAM IS A
00:13:25BAD THING.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO SUCCEED.
00:13:27WE WANT TO LIFT PEOPLE UP OUT OF
THE SHADOWS.
00:13:34THAT IS WHAT WE WILL BE FOCUSED
ON AS WE GO FORWARD.
00:13:35I'M ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT THE
GOVERNOR WILL PROPOSE IN THIS
00:13:39BUDGET BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG
PART OF HIS PLATFORM.
00:13:42I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THE LEADER ON THAT.
00:13:49>> ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT
YOU MIGHT SEE COMING FROM
00:13:54REPUBLICANS?
SPEAKER ROSENBERGER HAD BEEN
00:13:59OPPOSED TO MEDICAID EXPANSION.
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT YOU
00:14:02MIGHT SEE?
>> NOT SO MUCH FROM THE SPEAKER.
00:14:04WE HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT
WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.
00:14:07THE MINISTRATION HAS THE ABILITY
TO AUTHORIZE THIS.
00:14:11I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT
WILL LOOK LIKE.
00:14:18THE VAST MAJORITY OF MY MEMBERS
IN THE PAST, I HAVE NO REASON TO
00:14:21BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD NOT BE IN
THE FUTURE.
00:14:24THERE ARE IMITATIONS TO THAT.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GOING
00:14:29TO SAY COVER YOU CANNOT DO THAT
ON CERTAIN THINGS.
00:14:33THERE ARE STILL LIMITATIONS TO
THAT.
00:14:39WE HAVE A GOOD WORKING
RELATIONSHIP.
00:14:40WE WILL SORT THAT OUT.
WE WILL TRY TO MOVE PEOPLE
00:14:46FORWARD.
IT AFFECTED A LOT OF PEOPLE, A
00:14:50LOT OF COMMUNITIES AND VERY
USEFUL WAYS.
00:14:51THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP
PEOPLE IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE,
00:14:55PEOPLE THAT WE CANNOT MAKE SURE
HAD ACCESS TO CARE.
00:14:58I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO UNDO
THAT.
00:15:02>> AND HAS BEEN SOME TALK FROM
THE REGULATIONS AND THE
00:15:07DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN CONCERNED
ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS FOR A
00:15:09WHILE.
REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN CONCERNED
00:15:12ABOUT THAT PERFORMING CHARTER
SCHOOLS.
00:15:15>> THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS
OUR KIDS.
00:15:21I GOT TO MEET YOUR SON THIS
MORNING.
00:15:23I HAVE BEEN VERY BLESSED.
I LOOK FOR TO THE DAY THAT I'M
00:15:33ABLE TO HAVE KIDS.
IN THE MEANTIME, MY SISTER JUST
00:15:35GAVE BIRTH TO A LOVELY BABY BOY
AND NOW I HAVE A NEPHEW.
00:15:38I LOOK AT THEM AND I THINK AS WE
CONTINUE TO CRAFT THESE THINGS,
00:15:42IS ABOUT THEM.
EDUCATION ISN'T A BIPARTISAN
00:15:52THING, IT IS A THING THAT WE
BOTH CARE ABOUT.
00:15:54WE HAVE HIGH STANDARDS, WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THOSE KIDS ARE
00:15:57TAKEN CARE OF.
WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE
00:16:00ARE ACCOUNTABLE, THAT THERE IS
CLARITY THERE.
00:16:03ALSO, WE SHOULD ALLOW PARENTS TO
HAVE MORE MOBILITY OF CHOICE,
00:16:06NOT TO BE FEARFUL OF THEIR
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
00:16:09WE HAVE TO ENSURE LOCAL CONTROL.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK FOR IT.
00:16:16I THINK THERE WILL BE SOME GOOD
THINGS IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET
00:16:18THAT WE WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO
CHEW OVER.
00:16:19>> DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS FOR A
00:16:28WHILE.
WILL THIS BE A POINT AT WHICH
00:16:29DEMOCRATS KNOW THERE CAN BE SOME
CHANGES?
00:16:31>> IT IS AN EVOLUTION, I THINK
WHAT WAS ENCOURAGING IS THE LAST
00:16:38SESSION I BEGAN TO SEE A LOT OF
MOVEMENT FROM REPUBLICAN MEMBERS
00:16:42GOING, YES, WE DO NEED TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THIS.
00:16:44WE HAVE BEEN AT IT LONG ENOUGH
TO HAVE ENOUGH DATA WHERE IT DID
00:16:48NOT YIELD FOR SOME OF THE
PROPONENTS WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT
00:16:52WOULD YIELD.
YES, WE HAVE STRUGGLING
00:16:55TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS BUT THE
FAILING CHARTER SCHOOLS SHOULD
00:16:57NOT BE AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION TO
A STRUGGLING TRADITIONAL SCHOOL,
00:17:04ESPECIALLY SINCE WE CREATED THIS
ADDITIONAL SYSTEM IS SET OF
00:17:07FIXING THE SYSTEM THAT THE
SUPREME COURT TOLD US TO.
00:17:11IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT
EXPERIMENT, YOU AT LEAST NEED TO
00:17:12MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE REPLACING
THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT IS OF
00:17:18HIGH QUALITY AND I THINK
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ALIKE
00:17:19ARE COMING TO THAT CONCLUSION
AND BEGINNING TO MOVE DOWN THAT
00:17:22ROAD AND IT EXISTS AND LET'S
MAKE SURE THAT IT EXISTS AT HIGH
00:17:30QUALITY.
WE HAVE COMPETING PRIORITIES AND
00:17:37JUST THROWING THEM OUT THERE.
>> THERE ARE REALLY GOOD CHARTER
00:17:40SCHOOLS OUT THERE DOING A GREAT
JOB, ESPECIALLY IN OUR INNER
00:17:42CITIES.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE
00:17:47IS ACCOUNTABILITY.
THERE ARE ISSUES THERE THAT HAVE
00:17:49CONTINUED THAT ANYBODY WOULD
WANT.
00:17:50THEY ARE SERVICING THE
POPULATION THAT IS EXTREMELY
00:17:56IMPORTANT AND WE HAVE TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE KEEP OUR EYE ON THE
00:18:00BALL.
>> THEY ARE DONATING A LOT TO
00:18:01POLITICAL CANDIDATES.
WILL THAT BE A PROBLEM?
00:18:03MY THAT COMES FROM CHARTER
SCHOOL OPERATORS AND SUPPORTERS?
00:18:08>> WE HAVE CONSTITUENTS THAT
DONATE TO US ON A DAILY BASIS
00:18:13THAT PUSH FOR CERTAIN ISSUES.
THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE THAT WE
00:18:15SEE IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM.
YOU CAN HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF
00:18:23DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS TO DO
IT, RIGHT DOWN TO YOUR VERY OWN
00:18:27CONSTITUENTS.
IT IS SOMETHING WE CONTINUE TO
00:18:29DEAL WITH.
>> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE
00:18:30SEVERANCE TAX.
THE GOVERNOR WILL CONTINUE TO
00:18:32FIGHT FOR THE TAX AND THE ONE
THAT PASSED THE HOUSE WAS A JOKE
00:18:38AND AN INSULT.
WHAT IS THE CAUCUSES POSITION?
00:18:45>> THE SPEAKER DID GREAT JOB
BRINGING SOME FOLKS TO THE
00:18:49TABLE, SOME COMPROMISE.
I THINK THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE
00:18:56TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.
THE GOVERNOR WILL PROPOSE A
00:18:57BUDGET, I WILL NOT HYPOTHESIZE
AND WHAT HE IS BRINGING FORWARD.
00:19:02WE WILL HAVE THAT CONVERSATION
ABOUT WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE.
00:19:04I THINK THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT
WE CAN TALK ABOUT WITH THE
00:19:10INDUSTRY AND TALK ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS WITH THE LOCAL
00:19:11GOVERNMENT LEVEL AND WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO PRESS ON THAT.
00:19:14WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
I GUESS HE SAYS, WHAT DOES HE
00:19:18SAY, WE HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO
FIGHT.
00:19:23I GUESS I WILL USE KERRY'S DON'T
GIVE UP THE SHIP.
00:19:28LET ME ASK YOU, DEMOCRATS HAVE
USUALLY BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF THE
00:19:35SEVERANCE TAX.
I THINK THERE IS A COMBINATION
00:19:42OF PLACES IT COULD GO.
I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT
00:19:46THE COMMUNITIES WHERE THIS WORK
IS BEING DONE, WHERE THE
00:19:48INFRASTRUCTURE IS NEEDED OR
MAYBE BEING DAMAGED, THAT THAT
00:19:54SHOULD BE A PRIORITY.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SOME
00:19:57COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN
DOING WELL TRADITIONALLY OR
00:20:03ECONOMICALLY FOR A TIME.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD
00:20:05THOSE COMMUNITIES UP WITH THAT
RESOURCE.
00:20:10IT IS RESPONSIBLE TO INCREASE
THE SEVERANCE TAX.
00:20:13WHEN YOU LOOK AT BIG
OIL-PRODUCING STATES LIKE TEXAS
00:20:15AND OKLAHOMA, NOT KNOWN TO BE
LIBERAL BASTIONS, THEY TAX THEIR
00:20:22OIL INDUSTRY PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
HIGHER THAN US.
00:20:23IT IS A RESOURCE, IT IS THERE IN
THAT LOCATION.
00:20:26THIS ISN'T GOING TO LAST
FOREVER.
00:20:35I WOULD HATE TO SEE THIS
INDUSTRY COME IN, TAKE THIS
00:20:37RESOURCE OUT, LEAVE AND THOSE
COMMITTEES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO
00:20:42SHOW FOR IT.
>> WE ARE NOT OKLAHOMA AND WE
00:20:48ARE NOT TEXAS.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY
00:20:51AND SOMETHING NEW.
ON A BROADER STRATEGY, LET'S
00:20:54FOCUS ON SEVERANCE TAX.
WHAT DOES THE ENTIRE
00:20:58COMPETITIVENESS LOOK LIKE WHICH
INCLUDES TAX POLICY, THAT
00:21:03INCLUDES LIFTING PEOPLE UP AND
GIVING THEM MOBILITY.
00:21:05THAT INCLUDES A SOUND ENERGY
PLAN, THAT INCLUDES A SOUND
00:21:09HEALTH CARE PLAN.
WE WANT TO HAVE ALL THAT IN.
00:21:13WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN
2020.
00:21:17WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THESE FOUR
PILLARS THAT WE THINK ARE
00:21:19IMPORTANT FOR OUR STATE.
THINK OF OHIO AS A STOOL, YOU
00:21:23HAVE TO KEEP THOSE FOUR PILLARS
TO KEEP IT STEADY.
00:21:25THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE
DOING WITH THE LEADERSHIP.
00:21:30FOUR AREAS THAT ARE STRONG AND
WE USE THOSE AS GUIDEPOSTS TO
00:21:37CONTINUE TO DO THIS.
WE KNOW THAT OHIO IS LOW IN
00:21:42CREATING ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
EDUCATION, REMEDIATION, 45%.
00:21:51THAT IS NOT A GOOD NUMBER.
WE WANT TO INCREASE THE DROPOUT
00:21:56RATE.
LET'S LET DATA DRIVE BUT WE ARE
00:21:59TRYING TO DO.
HOLISTIC APPROACH, NOT ONLY TAX
00:22:03POLICIES BUT ALL OF THESE OTHER
PILLARS.
00:22:05>> A LOT OF THE RESEARCH HAPPENS
IN OHIO.
00:22:12THE COMPANY THAT RESULTS FROM
THAT ENDS UP STAYING HERE.
00:22:13THAT IS A TERMINUS AREA FOR US
TO FIGURE OUT, WHAT DO WE HAVE
00:22:18TO DO TO KEEP YOUR RESEARCH
HERE, TO BE THE COMPANY THAT
00:22:23LOCATES.
>> THIS IS OFTEN MORE TAX CUTS
00:22:27AND SOME DEMOCRATS HAVE RAISED
CONCERNS.
00:22:28>> THAT IS THE FUNNY THING ABOUT
TAX CUTS.
00:22:34NOBODY WANTS TO PAY A TAX BUT
THEY WANT AN INCENTIVE IN ORDER
00:22:39TO COME IN.
A LOT OF A CIRCULAR
00:22:46CONVERSATION.
THE COMPANY STILL CAME.
00:22:52THEY COME AT THE EDUCATED
WORKFORCE.
00:22:57THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT
COMPANIES WILL TELL YOU, WHEN I
00:23:10USED TO SIT ON FINANCE, USED TO
ASK CHRIS JOHNSON, I KNOW I DID
00:23:14IT TWO OR THREE-YEAR BUDGETS IN
A ROW.
00:23:16WHERE DO TAX CUTS RANK IN THE
DECISION-MAKING OF COMPANIES?
00:23:21HE SAID IS NOT 1, 2, 3.
IN SOME CASES, IT IS DOWN THE
00:23:26ROAD, 5, 6.
WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT
00:23:34OUR PRIORITIES ARE.
EVEN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BUSINESS
00:23:37NEEDS.
>> IF GOVERNOR KASICH RUNS FOR
00:23:44PRESIDENT, DOES THAT MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE ON WHAT YOUR CAUCUS
00:23:48PRESENTS?
MY MAIN FOCUS WILL BE ON THE
00:24:01STATE OF OHIO.
I THINK MORE MONEY IN THE SYSTEM
00:24:13IS A BETTER THING FOR THEM.
BUT, WE ALSO HAVE TO DO A
00:24:17HOLISTIC APPROACH AND MAKE SURE
WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING TO
00:24:20MAKE SURE WE ARE CONTROLLING
WHAT WE ARE DOING.
00:24:24AN INTERNATIONAL CRISIS COULD
HAPPEN.
00:24:25RECESSION COULD COME BACK.
WE HAVE TO BE GOOD STEWARDS.
00:24:27WE SHOULD LOOK AT THAT.
IT IS MAKING SURE WE ARE DOING
00:24:35EVERYTHING THE RIGHT WAY.
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE IS
00:24:38IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT TO
00:24:44WHOM MUCH ARE GIVEN, MUCH IS
REQUIRED.
00:24:45IT CAN PICK THEMSELVES UP.
FIND THEMSELVES IN THE EDUCATION
00:24:51SYSTEM.
WE CAN HAVE GOOD PAYING JOBS AND
00:24:56OFFERING THEM BENEFITS.
I THINK WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK
00:25:03ON IT AND HE WILL SEE THINGS
HAPPEN AND WE WILL DRIVE AN
00:25:07AGENDA THAT IS MEMBER-DRIVEN.
TO YOUR QUESTION ON DIFFERENT
00:25:11BILLS, IF THERE IS APPETITE IN
OUR CAUCUS TO DO CERTAIN THINGS
00:25:15AND WE GET THOSE, MEMBERS CAN
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING
00:25:22ANY BILL FORWARD AS THEY SEE
FIT.
00:25:23I THINK WE WILL DO GREAT THINGS
FOR THE STATE OF OHIO.
