>> JOHN KASICH LEAVES THE
00:00:30PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TRAIL TO
COME BACK TO OHIO FOR HIS SIXTH
00:00:32STATE OF THE STATE SPEECH.
HIGHLIGHTS AND REACTION THIS
00:00:36WEEK IN "THE STATE OF OHIO".
00:00:38>> FOR MOST GOVERNORS, THE STATE
OF THE STATE SPEECH IS ONE OF
00:00:48THE BIGGEST EVENTS OF THE YEAR.
BUT ARGUABLY, GOV. JOHN KASICH
00:00:52HAS HAD BIGGER MOMENTS THIS YEAR
, MOST NOTABLY, WINNING THE
00:00:59OHIO PRIMARY.
HOWEVER, IT CAN BE A BIG DEAL
00:01:01WHEN A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
COMES HOME, AND IT CERTAINLY WAS
00:01:03TO MARIETTA, THE SITE OF THIS
YEAR'S STATE OF THE STATE
00:01:04ADDRESS.
THIS ONE IN THE PEOPLE'S BANK
00:01:06THEATRE IN MARIETTA BEGAN WITH
THE USUAL CEREMONIAL TOUCHES,
00:01:08BUT WITH SOME NEW TWISTS.
KASICH CAME ON STAGE CARRYING
00:01:10THE NEWBORN DAUGHTER OF
REPUBLICAN REP. CHRISTINA HAGAN
00:01:19, AND THEN POSING FOR A SELFIE
WITH HOUSE SPEAKER CLIFF
00:01:24ROSENBERGER AND SENATE PRESIDENT
KEITH FABER.
00:01:26STATE OF THE STATE SPEECHES HAVE
OFTEN BEEN DETAILED REVIEWS OF
00:01:28WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE LAST
YEAR.
00:01:30THAT WASN'T THE CASE THIS TIME.
KASICH BREEZED THROUGH THE LAST
00:01:31FIVE YEARS OF WHAT HE CONSIDERS
HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS, WHICH MOST
00:01:33WHO'VE HEARD KASICH SPEAK HAVE
HEARD BEFORE, COMING BACK FROM
00:01:38BEING DOWN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF JOBS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
00:01:40IN A BUDGET HOLE TO 417,000 NEW
PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS AND $2
00:01:44BILLION IN THE STATE'S RAINY DAY
FUND.
00:01:47AND KASICH GAVE CREDIT TO THOSE
WHO'VE HELPED HIM, AND A
00:01:50CHALLENGE FOR FUTURE ASSISTANCE.
>> BUT WE SHOULD MAKE NO
00:01:55MISTAKE, IT'S NOT JUST ME BEHIND
THE WHEEL.
00:01:58WE ALL HAVE BEEN IN THIS
TOGETHER.
00:02:04AND EVERY ONE OF US IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING OHIO
00:02:06MOVING FORWARD TOWARD OUR GOAL.
AND THAT GOAL IS TO BUILD MORE
00:02:09SPEED AND STRENGTH AND SUSTAIN
IT FOR THE LONG TERM, FOR OUR
00:02:13CHILDREN, FOR EVERYONE'S
CHILDREN, AND FOR THE
00:02:16GENERATIONS THAT FOLLOW.
>> MUCH OF HIS SPEECH WAS
00:02:18FOCUSED ON EDUCATION.
HE NOTED THAT 94% OF STUDENTS
00:02:21PASSED THE 3RD GRADE READING
GUARANTEE TEST.
00:02:25HE TALKED UP THE COMMUNITY
CONNECTORS MENTORING PROGRAM,
00:02:29WHICH HAS DRAWN CONTROVERSY FOR
GIVING SIX TIMES AS MUCH MONEY
00:02:31TO FAITH-BASED GROUPS THAT
PARTNER WITH STUDENTS THAN
00:02:33SECULAR GROUPS.
AND HE MENTIONED THAT BY THE END
00:02:37OF 2017, THREE TIMES MORE KIDS
IN OHIO WILL HAVE ACCESS TO
00:02:41PRESCHOOL AND EARLY CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION WITH THE STATE'S HELP
00:02:45THAN DID SIX YEARS AGO.
AND KASICH HAD SOME EMOTIONAL
00:02:47MOMENTS WHEN TALKING ABOUT DRUG
ADDICTION.
00:02:49HE SAID FIGHTING DRUGS TAKES
EDUCATION, PREVENTION,
00:02:52TREATMENT, AND ENFORCEMENT, AND
HE PUSHED HIS STARTTALKING!
00:02:57PROGRAM HIS ADMINISTRATION HAS
PUT IN PLACE TO TALK ABOUT THE
00:03:00DANGERS OF DRUG USE.
>> I AM NOT ASKING, I AM BANKING
00:03:05-- BEGGING OUR TEACHERS, OUR
PARENTS, OUR MENTORS, AND ALL
00:03:07ADULTS TO TAKE A MINUTE TO HAVE
A CONVERSATION WITH THOSE THAT
00:03:11THEY KNOW ABOUT THE DANGERS OF
DRUG ABUSE.
00:03:16AND TO THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT
ARE HERE TONIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO
00:03:19WIN THIS BATTLE?
DO YOU WANT TO STOP DRUG
00:03:23ADDICTION AND DRUG ABUSE AND
DRUG DEATHS IN YOUR COMMUNITY?
00:03:26GO DO IT.
GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
00:03:32GRAB A YOUNG MAN OR A YOUNG
WOMAN, AND YOU TELL THEM ABOUT
00:03:35GOD'S PURPOSE FOR THEIR LIVES.
AND IF THEY TAKE THESE DRUGS AND
00:03:39END UP ADDICTED, THEY WILL
OBSCURE OR DESTROY THAT PURPOSE.
00:03:44LET'S WIN THIS IN OUR GREAT
STATE.
00:03:46BUT IT TAKES ALL OF US.
THIS IS A SCOURGE THAT WE MUST
00:03:51DEFEAT.
AND KEEPING KIDS OFF DRUGS IS A
00:03:55VERY BIG PART OF OUR MORAL
CALLING TO HELP EVERY OHIOAN
00:03:57FULFILL THEIR PURPOSE AND
GOD-GIVEN ABILITY.
00:04:09>> AND KASICH MOVED FROM THAT TO
A DISCUSSION OF WHAT HE CALLED
00:04:15HIS NUMBER ONE MORAL OBLIGATION
AS GOVERNOR, TO ENCOURAGE A
00:04:17JOBS-FRIENDLY CLIMATE, WHICH HE
SAYS STARTS BY HELPING PEOPLE
00:04:19MOVE UP THE ECONOMIC LADDER.
FOR INSTANCE, THROUGH MEDICAID
00:04:23EXPANSION, A CONCEPT THAT MANY
LAWMAKERS HE WAS TALKING TO DID
00:04:26NOT SUPPORT.
>> AND A WORD ABOUT MEDICAID
00:04:29EXPANSION BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT'S
MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
00:04:31TOGETHER WE'VE WORKED HARD TO
IMPROVE THE SYSTEM'S QUALITY AND
00:04:33ACCOUNTABILITY SO TAXPAYERS GET
THE VALUE THEY DESERVE AND
00:04:36OHIOANS IN NEED GET BETTER
QUALITY CARE.
00:04:39FOR EXAMPLE, MORE THAN 330,000
MORE WOMEN IN OHIO NOW HAVE
00:04:41ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE.
THIS MEANS THEY CAN GET HEALTHY,
00:04:43STAY HEALTHY, AND BETTER
PARTICIPATE IN THE WORKFORCE.
00:04:47AND EXPANSION HAS ALSO DELIVERED
NEW RESOURCES TO HELP OUR
00:04:50COMMUNITIES ADDRESS MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES AND ADDICTION.
00:04:55IT IS WORKING FOR OUR PEOPLE.
>> KASICH ALSO TALKED ABOUT
00:04:57POLICE COMMUNITY RELATIONS, JOB
TRAINING, AND COLLEGE COSTS.
00:05:00HE SAID OHIO'S COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES ARE WORKING
00:05:04TOGETHER TO LOWER THOSE COSTS,
AND HE SAID MANY STUDENTS ARE
00:05:06EARNING COLLEGE CREDITS IN HIGH
SCHOOL THROUGH THE COLLEGE
00:05:10CREDIT PLUS PROGRAM, WHICH HE
SAYS IN ONE SEMESTER SAVED THOSE
00:05:13STUDENTS $50 MILLION.
KASICH SAID THAT LAWMAKERS CAN
00:05:17HELP.
>> WE RECENTLY BROUGHT THE
00:05:22GENERAL ASSEMBLY SOME IMPORTANT
INITIATIVES TO ESTABLISH
00:05:24PATHWAYS TO A LOWER COST COLLEGE
DEGREE.
00:05:26WE'RE PROPOSING EFFORTS TO ALLOW
MORE STUDENTS THE ABILITY TO
00:05:29STUDY FOR THREE YEARS AT A LOWER
COST ON A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
00:05:33CAMPUS AND THEN TRANSFER TO A
FOUR-YEAR UNIVERSITY FOR A FINAL
00:05:36YEAR TO EARN THEIR DEGREES.
THIS COULD CUT THEIR COSTS BY 75
00:05:40% IN GETTING THIS DEGREE.
[APPLAUSE]
00:05:44AND LET ME JUST SAY THAT IF WE
DON'T BEGIN TO CONTROL THESE
00:05:55COSTS, THESE FOUR-YEAR SCHOOLS,
MANY OF THEM, WILL BE JUST A
00:05:58MEMORY.
BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL FIGURE OUT A
00:06:06WAY TO GET THEIR EDUCATION,
THEIR CREDENTIALS, AT A MUCH
00:06:10LOWER PRICE.
AND THESE COLLEGES AND
00:06:11UNIVERSITIES ARE GOING TO HAVE
TO MAKE VERY TOUGH DECISIONS.
00:06:15>> KASICH ALSO STRESSED
SOMETHING SOMEWHAT SURPRISING
00:06:19WHEN IT COMES TO EDUCATION.
>> WE WILL ALSO RECOMMEND
00:06:22EXPANDING WHAT'S BEEN KNOWN AS
STEM EDUCATION TO ALL GRADE
00:06:25LEVELS.
OF COURSE, WE ALL KNOW THE
00:06:28LETTERS IN STEM STAND FOR
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,
00:06:30ENGINEERING, AND MATH.
BUT PERSONALLY I LIKE TO CALL IT
00:06:33STEAM.
STEAM EDUCATION, TO ADD A
00:06:38CAPITAL A FOR THE ARTS.
ANY STUDENT WHO'S GOING TO
00:06:41SUCCEED LATER IN LIFE, INCLUDING
SOMEONE CHOOSING A TECHNICAL
00:06:46CAREER, IS GOING TO NEED
CREATIVE SKILLS AND KNOW HOW TO
00:06:48APPLY CRITICAL THINKING.
THOSE SKILLS ARE BEST DEVELOPED
00:06:51BY EXPOSURE TO THE ARTS.
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,
00:06:56ENGINEERING, MATH, AND THE ARTS.
[APPLAUSE]
00:06:58ARTS COMMUNITY, DID YOU EVER
THINK YOU'D SEE A CONSERVATIVE
00:07:13REPUBLICAN EVER SAY THIS?
[LAUGHTER]
00:07:15BUT WE BELIEVE IT.
BECAUSE THESE ARE ALL ESSENTIAL
00:07:20FOR SUCCESS IN THESE 21ST
CENTURY CAREERS.
00:07:25>> KASICH'S STATE OF THE STATE
SPEECHES HAVE BEEN LIGHT ON
00:07:29POLICIES AND PROPOSALS, BUT HE
DID HAVE ONE TO OFFER TOWARD THE
00:07:32END OF THE ADDRESS, AFTER
TALKING ABOUT THE STATE'S
00:07:34ECONOMIC GROWTH INCREASING BOTH
THE NUMBERS AND TYPES OF JOBS
00:07:37AVAILABLE.
>> CUTTING TAXES IS AN IMPORTANT
00:07:42PART OF CREATING THIS JOB
FRIENDLY ECONOMY.
00:07:49WE'VE CUT TAXES BY FIVE MILLION,
A BILLION MORE THAN ANY OTHER
00:07:52STATE IN THE COUNTRY.
BUT THERE'S MORE THAT I WANT TO
00:07:54DO.
AND I WILL SEND YOU, THE GENERAL
00:08:00ASSEMBLY, LEGISLATION TO LET
OHIOANS TO KEEP MORE OF THEIR
00:08:02HARD-EARNED MONEY BY
ACCELERATING THE BENEFITS OF
00:08:04INCOME TAX CUTS WE PASSED LAST
YEAR.
00:08:06THERE'S NO REASON TO WAIT.
AND YOU CAN ALSO FORM.
00:08:08THE MONEY'S THERE.
LET'S JUST MOVE IT UP.
00:08:10[APPLAUSE]
AND I SAY TO MY FRIENDS, THE
00:08:19DEMOCRATS, WE'VE ALREADY PASSED
IT.
00:08:21JUST MOVE IT UP, SO THE PEOPLE
HAVE MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKET.
00:08:23IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO BUY INTO
00:08:27THE PHILOSOPHY ON THIS.
BUT WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER.
00:08:32THERE IS NO REAL REASON TO WAIT.
>> AND HE CLOSED THE FORMAL
00:08:34SPEECH WITH A CALL HE FIRST
SOUNDED AT A SPEECH IN DECEMBER
00:08:38, TO CHANGE THE WAY OHIO DRAWS
THE LINES FOR ITS 18
00:08:40CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS, WHICH
CREATED WHAT EXPERTS HAVE CALLED
00:08:43ONE OF THE MOST GERRYMANDERED
MAPS IN THE COUNTRY.
00:08:46>> MAKING SURE WE ALL HAVE A
CHANCE TO CONTRIBUTE AND THAT WE
00:08:50ALL HAVE A VOICE IS WHY WE CAME
TOGETHER LAST YEAR ACROSS PARTY
00:08:53LINES TO REFORM THE WAY OHIO'S
LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS ARE DRAWN.
00:08:59OUR GOAL WAS THE RIGHT ONE, TO
MAKE THE PROCESS LESS ABOUT
00:09:02POLITICS AND MORE ABOUT
INCLUSION.
00:09:04WE NEED TO GO FURTHER, HOWEVER,
WHICH IS WHY I'M CALLING ON THE
00:09:09GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO LOOK AT HOW
WE MAKE THESE SAME KINDS OF
00:09:12REFORMS TO THE WAY OHIO DRAWS
ITS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
00:09:15[APPLAUSE]
IDEAS AND MERITS SHOULD BE WHAT
00:09:23WINS ELECTIONS, NOT
GERRYMANDERING.
00:09:27WHEN PURE POLITICS IS WHAT
DRIVES THESE KINDS OF DECISIONS,
00:09:31THE RESULT IS POLARIZATION AND
DIVISION I THINK WE'VE HAD
00:09:36, ENOUGH OF THAT.
GERRYMANDERING NEEDS TO BE ON
00:09:41THE DUST BIN OF HISTORY."
>> HE FOLLOWED THAT WITH WHAT'S
00:09:45BECOME A KASICH STATE OF THE
STATE TRADITION, THREE AWARDS
00:09:50PRESENTED TO INDIVIDUALS, GROUPS
OR OTHERS WHO'VE DRAWN HIS
00:09:52ADMIRATION AND RESPECT.
AND THE THREE WINNERS THIS TIME
00:09:56REFLECTED SOME OF THE NOTEWORTHY
PORTIONS OF HIS SPEECH.
00:09:59MARGO HUDSON, A CLEVELAND WOMAN
WHO EARNED HER GED AS AN ADULT
00:10:01AND HAS WON HONORS FOR HER WORK
TUTORING KIDS AND ADULTS.
00:10:05WALLACE PECK, A COLUMBUS MAN
WITH SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTAL
00:10:08DISABILITIES WHO'S BECOME AN
ACCLAIMED ARTIST.
00:10:11AND WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF
LARRY MINCKS, BELPRE SCHOOLS
00:10:18SUPERINTENDENT TONY DUNN, AND
KELLI ALLMAN, WHO LOST HER 17
00:10:20YEAR OLD SON HUNTER BURKEY TO A
HEROIN OVERDOSE, ALL FOR THEIR
00:10:22WORK ON FIGHTING DRUG ADDICTION.
NOT LONG AFTER KASICH CONCLUDED
00:10:27HIS SPEECH, REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS OFFERED THEIR
00:10:34RESPONSES.
THE FORMER, FIRST.
00:10:39AND THOUGH REPUBLICAN SENATE
PRESIDENT KEITH FABER AND HOUSE
00:10:41SPEAKER CLIFF ROSENBERGER HAVE
BOTH ENDORSED KASICH'S
00:10:43PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, IT WAS
CLEAR THAT KASICH'S DEMAND FOR
00:10:45CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING
CHANGES WAS NOT WELL RECEIVED BY
00:10:47THEM.
FABER SAID LAWMAKERS HAVE ALWAYS
00:10:52HAVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AUTHORITY TO DRAW THOSE
00:10:54CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT LINES,
AND CHANGING THE MAKEUP OF THE
00:10:57GROUP THAT DRAWS THOSE
DISTRICTS, AS VOTERS DID LAST
00:11:01FALL WITH STATE LEGISLATIVE
LINES, IS NOT SOMETHING AND HIS
00:11:03CAUCUS WANT TO CONSIDER.
>> I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
00:11:10BENEFIT OF THAT IS ENGENDERING
MENTORING.
00:11:14THE REAL QUESTION IS DO YOU
OPPOSE STANDARDS ON HOW THEY
00:11:21DRAW THOSE LINES?
THEY ALSO HAVE OTHER CHECK AND
00:11:22BALANCES THAT OUR PROCESS
DOESN'T.
00:11:23THE REFERENDUM SYSTEM.
TO ME IS IS A MORE ROBUST
00:11:29SYSTEM, OR YOU DO NOT HAVE
LEGISLATORS DRAWING THEIR OWN
00:11:31LINES THEY DRAW LINES FOR
ANOTHER ELECTED BODY.
00:11:34THERE IS SOME GROUND FOR
IMPROVEMENT AND DISCUSSION, BUT
00:11:44I THINK THE PRESUMPTION THAT WE
ARE GOING TO TAKE THE WHOLE
00:11:46PROCESS OUT OF THE LEGISLATORS
HANDS AND MOVE IT TO ANOTHER,
00:11:49LESS ELECTED PARTY OR
DIFFERENTLY ELECTED BODY IS
00:11:53SOMETHING THAT OTHER PEOPLE GOT
A CRITICISM FROM.
00:11:54I VERY THAT AND VERY
PROTECTIVE -- I VERY PROTECTIVE.
00:12:03>> WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
CONVERSATIONS WHEN WE GO
00:12:08FORWARD.
WE WILL BE RULING TO LISTEN AND
00:12:12TAKE THOSE LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES FORWARD WITH THE
00:12:13GOVERNOR AND HAVE A
CONVERSATION.
00:12:15BUT I AM EXTREMELY PERCENT --
PROTECTIVE.
00:12:21IT IS APPLES AND ORANGES.
IT IS SOMETHING WE WILL CONTINUE
00:12:28TO LOOK UP AND TAKE FORWARD IN
THE FUTURE.
00:12:31>> ONE REPUBLICAN WHO WAS
PLEASED WITH KASICH'S
00:12:34REDISTRICTING COMMENTS IS
SECRETARY OF STATE JON HUSTED.
00:12:37HE ISSUED A PRESS RELEASE DURING
THE SPEECH PRAISING K-6 COMMENTS
00:12:42AT THE LAW SIGNIFICANT
ENDORSEMENT YET.
00:12:43HE SAID MAKING CHANGES WILL MAKE
THE PROCESS FAIRER AND BETTER
00:12:46FOR BOTH PARTIES.
>> WELL I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE
00:12:50, ISSUE FOR TEN YEARS, SO
OBVIOUSLY IT WAS MUSIC TO MY
00:12:52EARS TO HAVE THE HIGHEST OFFICER
IN STATE GOVERNMENT COME OUT AND
00:12:56ENDORSE THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD
DO THIS.
00:13:01AS THE GOVERNOR'S BEEN OUT
ACROSS THE COUNTRY TALKING ABOUT
00:13:03THE NEED TO FIX WASHINGTON, I
THINK HE'S COME TO REALIZE THAT
00:13:06YOU CAN'T FIX WASHINGTON UNLESS
YOU FIX THE WAY THAT WE ELECT
00:13:09THE PEOPLE THAT YOU SEND THERE.
AND THAT'S WHAT CONGRESSIONAL
00:13:13REDISTRICTING REFORM IS ALL
ABOUT.
00:13:16RIGHT NOW, WE ELECT PEOPLE FROM
DISTRICTS THAT ARE DRAWN AND
00:13:20GERRYMANDERED IN VERY PARTISAN
WAYS, MEANING, THAT IF YOU WIN
00:13:25THE PRIMARY, YOU'RE ALMOST
ASSURED TO WIN THE GENERAL
00:13:28ELECTION.
AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THE
00:13:31INCENTIVES THAT WE'RE GIVING THE
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS WE
00:13:35SEND TO WASHINGTON IS APPEAL TO
YOUR PARTY ONLY TO CONTINUE TO
00:13:40GET RE-ELECTED, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT APPEALING TO A MORE
00:13:43GENERAL ELECTION AUDIENCE,
BECAUSE FRANKLY, THE WAY THEY
00:13:46DRAW THE LINES, IT JUST DOESN'T
MATTER THAT MUCH.
00:13:48AND TO EMBRACE THE IDEA OF
CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING
00:13:51REFORM IN ADVANCE OF WHEN WE
DRAW THE LINES AT THE TURN OF
00:13:56THE NEXT CENSUS IS SOMETHING
THAT NEEDS TO CONSTANTLY BE
00:13:59PUSHED AND KEPT ON THE FRONT
BURNER SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T
00:14:02IGNORE IT AND THINK IT'S GOING
TO GO AWAY, AND THE GOVERNOR
00:14:05MADE A STRONG CASE FOR WHY IT
NEEDS TO BE HAPPENING.
00:14:08>> BACK TO THE OFFICIAL
REPUBLICAN RESPONSE, FABER WAS
00:14:13MORE INTRIGUED BY KASICH'S
ACCELERATED INCOME TAX CUTS,
00:14:15THOUGH HE ISSUED NO PROMISES.
>> IS COMPLICATED, BUT THE SHORT
00:14:20ANSWER IS CHANGING THE TAX
HOLDING TABLES IS ENOUGH GRUNT
00:14:26COST.
WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE DEBATE IF
00:14:28THAT IS THE BEST UTILIZATION OF
THAT ONE-TIME MONEY.
00:14:33THE QUESTION IS WHEN, AND WHEN
THAT INCLUDES BRIEF THE TAX
00:14:39TABLES ARE RELATIVELY
STRAIGHTFORWARD TO DO.
00:14:40THE QUESTION IS CAN WE FIND
A SOLUTION THAT ISN'T JUST
00:14:44TEMPORARY BUT IS ALSO LONG-TERM.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT YOUR AND
00:14:49BALANCES TO FUNDS THAT.
WE ALSO HAVE EXTRA FUND
00:14:53BALANCES, I THINK.
THAT IS ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES
00:14:55WE'RE LOOKING TO DO.
>> FABER AND ROSENBERGER SAY
00:14:57THEIR TOP PRIORITIES FOR THE
NEXT THREE MONTHS IN THE
00:15:00LEGISLATURE ARE JOBS AND THE
ECONOMY, WORKFORCE TRAINING,
00:15:02PUBLIC RECORDS, AND GOVERNMENT
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
00:15:04KASICH'S TAX CUT PROPOSAL COULD
END UP IN FRONT OF REPUBLICAN
00:15:08RYAN SMITH OF BIDWELL, CHAIR OF
THE HOUSE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
00:15:11HE SAID HE'S OPEN TO DISCUSSION.
>> I THINK IT IS CONSISTENT WITH
00:15:17WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD.
IT IS A DISCUSSION WE WILL
00:15:20CONTINUE TO HAVE AS LONG AS WE
PUT THIS STUDY COMMITTEE INTO
00:15:24PLACE SO WE CAN HAVE A
LONGER-TERM DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.
00:15:27WE HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES THAT WE
NEED TO ADDRESS IN THE STATES
00:15:34WHAT IS NOT ALL ABOUT TAX CUT
BUT IT IS CERTAINLY AT THE TOP
00:15:38OF EVERYBODY'S MIND.
IT IS KIND OF A GENERAL
00:15:41STATEMENT TO HAVE MUCH COMMENT
ON, BUT WE ARE ABOUT TO HAVE A
00:15:47CONVERSATION.
>> A COUPLE PEOPLE MENTIONED THE
00:15:51NEED FOR JOB CREATION.
WILL THIS LEAD TO JOB CREATION?
00:15:55>>
I THINK SO.
00:15:56I THINK ANYTIME WE TAKE
RESTRAINTS OF BUSINESSES, IT
00:16:04OPENS UP OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPAND
BUSINESS.
00:16:08THAT IS CERTAINLY ONE FACTOR
INTO IT.
00:16:13>> BUT NATURALLY, DEMOCRATS
WEREN'T PLEASED WITH THAT PART
00:16:16OF THE SPEECH.
THEY'D DONE A PRE-BUTTAL OF
00:16:18SORTS THE DAY BEFORE THE STATE
OF THE STATE, FOCUSING ON THEIR
00:16:20CONCERNS ABOUT KASICH'S POLICIES
ON INCOME TAX CUTS, WHICH THEY
00:16:22SAY UNFAIRLY BENEFIT THE
WEALTHY.
00:16:24ON $1.7 BILLION IN CUTS TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND SCHOOLS, ON
00:16:29INVESTMENTS AND ASSISTANCE TO
DEAL WITH THE HIGH RATES OF
00:16:32UNEMPLOYMENT AND INFANT
MORTALITY IN THE AFRICAN
00:16:35AMERICAN COMMUNITY, AND ON
WOMEN'S ISSUES SUCH AS EQUAL PAY
00:16:38AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.
>> THE STATE HAS ACTIVELY
00:16:42INCONSISTENCY PURSUED POLICIES
THAT PLACE A DISPROPORTIONATE
00:16:47RESPONSIBILITY ON AVERAGE
OHIOANS TO PAY FOR EVERY DAY
00:16:50SERVICES BY SHIFTING THE FUNDS
FROM LOCAL SCHOOLS AND
00:16:55COMMUNITIES IN ORDER TO BOLSTER
STATE GOVERNMENT COFFERS AND
00:16:59GIVE MORE TAX BREAKS TO PEOPLE
AT THE VERY TOP.
00:17:01IT'S 2011, OHIO'S STANDING IN
PUBLIC EDUCATION HAS TUMBLED
00:17:05FROM THE FIFTH IN THE NATION TO
23RD.
00:17:09WE ARE STILL FUNDING PUBLIC
EDUCATION AT $.5 BILLION LESS
00:17:15THAN WE DID IN 2008 THROUGH A
FUNDING MODEL THAT HAS NOT TAKEN
00:17:21THE CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE FROM
THE SUPREME COURT SERIOUSLY.
00:17:23MEANWHILE, OHIO'S CHARTER SCHOOL
INDUSTRY CONTINUES TO FAIL OUR
00:17:28CHILDREN AND LEAVE A BLACK MARK
ON THE STATE OF EDUCATION IN
00:17:31OHIO.
>> 34% OF AFRICAN AMERICANS IN
00:17:35OHIO ARE LIVING BELOW THE
POVERTY LINE, STRUGGLING TO PAY
00:17:42THEIR BILLS AND PUT FOOD ON THE
TABLE FOR THEIR FAMILIES.
00:17:44MEANWHILE, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
FOR BLACK OHIOANS REMAINED MORE
00:17:48THAN TWO TIMES HIGHER THAN THE
RATE FOR WHITES.
00:17:52>> 65% OF OHIO'S OPPOSED
DEFUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD,
00:17:59BUT THE GOVERNOR DID ANYWAY.
OHIO STILL RANKS 40 FIFTH IN THE
00:18:14NATION AND INFANT MORTALITY,
ALMOST LAST AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN
00:18:20INFANT MENTALITY.
AND YET THE STATE HAS CONTINUED
00:18:22TO CHASE CLINICAL HEADLINES AND
POLITICALLY MOTIVATED
00:18:27LEGISLATION INSTEAD OF
ADDRESSING THAT PARTICULAR
00:18:28ISSUE.
WHEN YOU HAVE THE HIGHEST IN
00:18:33FOUR MORTALITY RATE IN THE
NATION, DO NOT CUT ACCESS TO
00:18:34CARE AND RESOURCES THAT ARE SO
CRITICAL TO PREVENTING IT AND
00:18:37IMPROVING IT.
>> THEY ALSO NOTED, IN CONTRAST
00:18:41TO KASICH'S CLAIMS THAT WAGES
ARE GROWING FASTER THAN THE
00:18:43NATIONAL AVERAGE, THAT MIDDLE
INCOME FAMILIES IN OHIO EARN
00:18:45$4,000 LESS THAN THEIR AVERAGE
AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS.
00:18:50HOUSE MINORITY LEADER FRED
STRAHORN OF DAYTON SAID AFTER
00:18:53THE SPEECH IN MARIETTA THAT HE
LIKED KASICH'S DEFENSE OF
00:18:57MEDICAID EXPANSION AND HIS
PROMOTION OF MENTAL HEALTH AND
00:19:00DRUG TREATMENT, AND SAID HE WAS
SHOCKED AND HAPPY WITH
00:19:03REDISTRICTING REFORM CALL, WHICH
HE CALLED, A BOLD STATEMENT.
00:19:07BUT HE CERTAINLY DIDN'T EMBRACE
ALL OF THE SPEECH.
00:19:10>> I AM ENCOURAGED BY SOME OF
THE OTHER CONVERSATION, BUT I
00:19:17CONCERNED BY THE DISCONNECT
BETWEEN THE CONVERSATION IT AND
00:19:21WHAT THE ACTUAL REALITY HAS
SHOWN TO BE ON THE GROUND IN
00:19:23TERMS OF UNDERFUNDING PUBLIC
EDUCATION, HAVING AN ASPIRATING
00:19:28-- F RATING IN PUBLIC
EDUCATION.
00:19:34WHAT I HEARD WAS A DOUBLING DOWN
ON INCOME TAX CUT IN, WHICH IS
00:19:43AN ENORMOUS SHIFT IN
RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYING FOR
00:19:47SERVICES LIKE SCHOOL, POLICE,
FIRE EMTS AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE
00:19:51SERVICES, JUSTICE IS A MAJOR
PART OF THE COUNTY'S BUDGET AS
00:19:57MUCH AS 70 OR 80%.
SO WHEN WE RETAIN THAT MONEY UP
00:19:59HERE AND PUSH THAT COST DOWN, IT
TAKES MONEY OUT OF THE POCKETS
00:20:05OF MIDDLE-CLASS WORKERS AND
MAKES IT VERY HARD FOR THEM TO
00:20:07MAKE ENDS MEET.
>> DEMOCRATIC STATE SEN. LOU
00:20:09GENTILE OF STEUBENVILLE SAID THE
ACCELERATED TAX CUTS WERE JUST
00:20:12ONE OF SEVERAL THINGS THAT HE
FOUND AMBIGUOUS AND EVEN A BIT
00:20:16FUZZY.
>> THE THING ABOUT THAT IS, I
00:20:21DON'T KNOW HOW WE ARE GOING TO
PAY FOR THAT.
00:20:23HE DID NOT REFERENCE HOW WE'RE
GOING TO PAY FOR THAT.
00:20:24IF THAT MEANS USING OIL AND GAS
REVENUE AND REDISTRIBUTING
00:20:27ACROSS THE STATE, I CERTAINLY
WOULD NOT SUPPORT THAT.
00:20:30IF IT MEANS TAKING AWAY FROM
SCHOOLS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT, I
00:20:36WOULD NOT SUPPORT THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE
00:20:37MIDDLE-CLASS INCOME TAX RELIEF.
IT WAS A LITTLE VAGUE TODAY.
00:20:41I HOPE THAT IF WE SEE A PROPOSAL
, WE WOULD SEE THE QUESTION OF
00:20:49HOW DO YOU PAY FOR THAT?
>> DID YOU SEE THE ENTIRE SPEECH
00:20:53AS A LITTLE VAGUE, OR WERE THERE
SPECIFIC PARTS THAT STUCK OUT TO
00:20:55YOU?
>> I WAS HOPING TO SEE MORE
00:21:00SPECIFICS AROUND JOB CREATION IN
SOUTHEAST OHIO.
00:21:01WE ARE HURTING.
JUST NORTH OF HERE, THEY HAVE
00:21:04THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN
OHIO.
00:21:05I FELT LIKE IT WAS A LITTLE
SHORT ON SPECIFICS ABOUT HOW
00:21:13WE'RE REVITALIZING THE ECONOMY.
>> SENATE MINORITY LEADER JOE
00:21:15SCHIAVONI OF BOARDMAN NEAR
YOUNGSTOWN MET WITH KASICH FOR
00:21:17ABOUT 45 MINUTES EARLIER IN THE
DAY, AFTER RIDING DOWN TO
00:21:19MARIETTA IN THE GOVERNOR'S
PLANE.
00:21:21SCHIAVONI SAID HE BROUGHT TO
KASICH'S ATTENTION A COUPLE OF
00:21:24BILLS THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE
SPONSORED.
00:21:29BUT AS HE PUT IT, ACTIONS THE
LOTTERY THAN WORDS THAT ACTIONS
00:21:32SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS WHEN IT
COMES TO SOME OF KASICH'S
00:21:35COMMENTS.
>> I HAVE CONCERN BECAUSE HE
00:21:39TALKED ABOUT MAKING FERMENTED
EDUCATION, AND DRUG ABUSE AND
00:21:44ADDICTION, INFRASTRUCTURE, WATER
QUALITY, WITH NO TRUCK ABOUT
00:21:48TRUE INVESTMENT.
YOU CANNOT MAKE IMPROVEMENTS
00:21:52WITHOUT INVESTMENT.
HE SAYS WE WILL DOUBLE UP ON TAX
00:21:55CUTS, DO THIS QUICKLY, AND THAT
IS GOING TO BE THE PATHWAY THAT
00:22:00IS GOING TO CAUSE ALL OF THESE
GREAT THINGS TO HAPPEN.
00:22:02THAT IS VERY CONCERNING.
SOMETHING THAT HE DID SAY THAT I
00:22:09WILL HOLD HIM TO IS THAT HE HAVE
TO REACH IT DOES WORK ON
00:22:10REDISTRICTING -- WORK ON
REDISTRICTING.
00:22:15THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT NOW,
ESPECIALLY WITH THIS
00:22:17ANNOUNCEMENT TONIGHT.
M TALKING ABOUT READING --
00:22:24BREAKING DOWN ROADBLOCKS IN
GETTING THROUGH BARRIERS, WE
00:22:25HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE AS
DEMOCRATS HOLD HIM TO THAT.
00:22:27IF HE SAYS HE WANTS TO WORK WITH
US AND WE HAVE TO PROVIDE HIM
00:22:31WITH LEGISLATION SO THAT HE CAN
GET REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS TO
00:22:37WORK WITH US ON THOSE ISSUES.
HE SAID THAT EARLIER IN THE
00:22:43MEETING, AND SAID IT PUBLICLY
TONIGHT THAT HE WANTS THE
00:22:44COLLABORATIVE PROCESS.
BUT IN THE LAST GENERAL
00:22:47ASSEMBLY, YOUNGSTOWN PLAN BILLS
AND LIKE THAT THAT WAS NOT
00:22:50NECESSARILY A COLLABORATIVE
PROCESS, WHEN YOU PASS A BILL,
00:22:57SWEEPING PROVISIONS ON EDUCATION
IN THE 24 HOURS, THAT IS NOT HOW
00:23:02YOU WORK TOGETHER AND HAVE A
COLLABORATIVE PROCESS.
00:23:04>> DEMOCRATIC REP. DEBBIE
PHILLIPS OF ATHENS SAID SHE WAS
00:23:06PLEASED KASICH BROUGHT THE EVENT
TO SOUTHEASTERN OHIO, BUT
00:23:09REITERATED SOME OF THE CONCERNS
RAISED BY OTHER DEMOCRATS.
00:23:12>> THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS
THAT THE GOVERNOR TOUCHED ON IN
00:23:16THE SPEECH THAT TALKED ABOUT
AREAS WHERE WE NEED TO MAKE
00:23:21PROGRESS, AND TALKED ABOUT
THINGS THAT IS THE MOST PEOPLE
00:23:25WOULD AGREE ON.
TEAM PORTION -- THE IMPORTANCE
00:23:33OF EDUCATION, BUT I HAVE NOT
SEEN THE POLICIES OF THIS
00:23:35ADMINISTRATION BACKED THOSE
THINGS UP.
00:23:40THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS THAT
SOUNDED GOOD, BUT IT IS NOT
00:23:41REALLY WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN THE
POLICIES THEY HAVE ACTUALLY
00:23:45BROUGHT FORWARD.
THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT
00:23:49BIPARTISANSHIP AND WORKING
ACROSS THE AISLE, THAT IS NOT
00:23:52THE WAY THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS
GENERALLY BEHAVED.
00:23:53THE RELOAD THINGS IN THE SPEECH
THAT WOULD BE HARD TO DISAGREE
00:23:59WITH, BUT IT IS NOT NECESSARILY
YOU SEEN HAPPENING ON THE
00:24:01GROUND.
THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS OUR
00:24:04REGION HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND AS
THE REST OF THE STATE'S ECONOMY
00:24:08HAS STARTED TO IMPROVE.
I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE
00:24:13TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT MORE
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT WHAT WE CAN
00:24:17DO TO HELP STRENGTHEN
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND
00:24:20ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT HERE AT
SOUTHEASTERN OHIO.
00:24:21>> AND THE SPEECH, COMING A DAY
AFTER KASICH'S DISTANT LAST
00:24:24PLACE SHOWING IN THE REPUBLICAN
PRIMARY IN WISCONSIN, WASN'T
00:24:26LOST ON MANY OBSERVERS.
SOME SAID HIS FOCUS ON EDUCATION
00:24:30AND THE ARTS AND HELPING DRUG
ADDICTS AND LOW-INCOME PEOPLE
00:24:34WHO ARE STRUGGLING WAS OBVIOUSLY
MEANT FOR A NATIONAL AUDIENCE,
00:24:37AND WAS AN ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE
HIS POSITIONING AS THE MODERATE
00:24:40CANDIDATE IN THE GOP RACE.
AND KASICH TALKED, AS HE OFTEN
00:24:43DOES, ABOUT GROWING UP IN
PENNSYLVANIA, WHICH HOLDS ITS
00:24:48PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ON APRIL
26.
00:24:49BUT REPUBLICAN REP. ANDY
THOMPSON, WHO HOSTED THE EVENT
00:24:54IN HIS HOMETOWN OF MARIETTA,
SAID HE FELT IT WAS THE RIGHT
00:24:57ADDRESS AT THE RIGHT TIME.
>> I THINK HE ACTUALLY GAVE MORE
00:25:04OF A STATE SPEECH.
I KNOW HE WILL BE REACHING AN
00:25:07AUDIENCE THAT IS NATURAL, BUT HE
DID A GOOD JOB OF SPEAKING TO
00:25:09THE AUDIENCE THAT WAS HERE.
I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT,
00:25:11BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE
LEGISLATURE DOES.
00:25:16THE STATE OF THE STATE IS REALLY
OUR BABY.
00:25:18FOR HIM TO COME HERE AND KEEP
THE TONE NOT SO PRESIDENTIAL,
00:25:25NOT DELVING INTO OTHER AREAS
LIKE FOREIGN POLICY, HE WAS
00:25:28ADDRESSING AREAS AND ISSUES WE
WILL BE DEALING WITH HERE IN
00:25:32OHIO, AND I THINK THAT WAS THE
RIGHT MOVE.
00:25:34>> THE SELECTION OF MARIETTA AS
THE HOST CITY WAS SAID TO BE A
00:25:37NOD TO ITS HISTORY, MARIETTA IS
THE OLDEST PERMANENT SETTLEMENT
00:25:39IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORY, AND
ITS 228TH BIRTHDAY WAS THURSDAY.
00:25:41BUT IT'S ALSO ON THE BORDER WITH
WEST VIRGINIA, WHICH HOLDS ITS
00:25:43PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY NEXT MONTH.
AND KASICH HAS SHOWN NO SIGNS OF
00:25:47LEAVING THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE,
HE LEFT MARIETTA FOR CAMPAIGN
00:25:50STOPS IN NEW YORK AND
CONNECTICUT, AND HAS EXPANDED
00:25:54HIS LEADERSHIP TEAM IN MARYLAND,
WHICH VOTES ON APRIL 26.
00:25:57AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS WEEK.
