THE GOVERNOR LOOKS BACK ON THIS |
| 00:00:47 | YEAR IN PREVIEWS OF VERY BUSY
2013. |
| 00:00:50 | ALL THIS WEEK IN THE "STATE OF
OHIO." |
| 00:00:53 | LAWMAKERS AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS
AROUND THE COUNTRY REACT TO THE |
| 00:00:59 | HORRIBLE SHOOTINGS IN SANDY
HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN |
| 00:01:02 | CONNECTICUT.
IN OHIO THE STATE IS PLANNING TO |
| 00:01:05 | EXPAND SAFETY TRAINING FOR
EDUCATORS TO REFLECT THE REALITY |
| 00:01:08 | THAT THOSE INSIDE A SCHOOL OR
THE FIRST TO FACE DANGER. |
| 00:01:12 | THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID THIS
WEEK THAT NOTHING SHORT OF |
| 00:01:15 | BARRICADING EVERY SCHOOL IN THE
COUNTRY CAN STOP SOMETHING LIKE |
| 00:01:18 | THAT FROM HAPPENING BUT
OFFICIALS HAVE A MORAL |
| 00:01:22 | OBLIGATIONS TO INCREASE ODDS OF
EVERY STATE -- EVERY CHILD |
| 00:01:26 | SURVIVING.
HE SAYS HE WOULD SUPPORT |
| 00:01:31 | ALLOWING A TRAINED SCHOOL
OFFICIAL ACCESS TO A GUN DURING |
| 00:01:35 | THE SCHOOL DAY BUT SUCH
DECISIONS SHOULD BE LEFT UP TO |
| 00:01:38 | EACH DISTRICT.
MEANWHILE, THE GOVERNOR WILL |
| 00:01:42 | SIGN A BILL PASSED LAST WEEK
ALLOWING GUNS INTO THE OHIO |
| 00:01:46 | STATE PARKING GARAGE.
THAT MEASURE COMPLETELY SEPARATE |
| 00:01:50 | FROM SCHOOL SAFETY ENHANCEMENT
THAT HE IS PURSUING IN THE WAKE |
| 00:01:53 | OF SHOOTINGS IN CONNECTICUT.
HE SAYS HE IS PROJECTING CALLS |
| 00:01:56 | TO VETO THE BILL BECAUSE OF
PASSED OVERWHELMINGLY. |
| 00:02:00 | HE SAID THIS BILL, WHICH RECALLS
A MEASURED APPROACH, IS |

JIM P. DROVE -- PETRO REVEALED |
| 00:03:53 | HE WILL STEP DOWN FROM OFFICE OF
THE OHIO BOARD OF REGENTS THIS |
| 00:03:59 | WEEK.
HE WAS THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER |
| 00:04:02 | WHO WENT ON TO THE OHIO HOUSE.
HE WON THE RACE FOR STATE |
| 00:04:06 | AUDITOR IN 1994 AND RAN FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL IN 2002 AND |
| 00:04:11 | WON.
2006 HE TOOK ON KEN BLACKWELL |
| 00:04:14 | FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
FOR GOVERNOR. |
| 00:04:18 | HE BEGAN THE FIRST ATTORNEY-
GENERAL TO BRING DNA EVIDENCE TO |
| 00:04:25 | INTERVENE IN THE CASE.
HE USED THE EXPERIENCE TO JOIN |
| 00:04:32 | WITH HIS WIFE TO READ A BOOK
CALLED "FALSE JUSTICE, 8 |
| 00:04:39 | MYTHS."
HE IS HERE RIGHT NOW WITH ME TO |
| 00:04:45 | TALK ABOUT WHY HE IS LEAVING.
ARE YOU LEAVING JUST THIS OFFICE |
| 00:04:52 | OR PUBLIC SERVICE?
>> I AM LEAVING FULL-TIME PUBLIC |
| 00:04:56 | SERVICE.
WHEN I SAY FULL TIME, I WORK IN |
| 00:05:00 | OR GET TO OFFICE EVERY DAY EARLY
IN THE MORNING AND WORK UNTIL |
| 00:05:04 | EARLY IN THE EVENING AND HAVE A
LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES. |
| 00:05:06 | IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL JOB AND
AGREED ARE FOR TENNESSEE TO |
| 00:05:10 | STRIVE TO A BAND'S ISSUES THAT
WILL USHER MORE AND MORE OF HIGH |
| 00:05:15 | WINDS GET POST-SECONDARY
DEGREES. |
| 00:05:17 | IF WE'RE WINTUS SUCCEED AS A
STATE ECONOMICALLY, WE NEED MORE |
| 00:05:22 | AND MORE PEOPLE TO HAVE
CREDENTIALS THAT HAVE ECONOMIC |
| 00:05:26 | VALUES THAT HAVE ASSOCIATE
DEGREES AND BACCALAUREATE |
| 00:05:29 | DEGREES.
BEING CHANCELLOR AND DRIVING |
| 00:05:32 | THAT ISSUE HAS BEEN AFFORDED TO
ME. |
| 00:05:33 | I WILL CONTINUE TO BE ENGAGED IN
PUBLIC SERVICE IN ONE WAY OR |
| 00:05:40 | ANOTHER.
YOU KNOW MY WIFE AND I WROTE A |
| 00:05:43 | BOOK ABOUT WRONGFUL CRIMINAL
CONVICTIONS. |
| 00:05:49 | WE EXPECT TO STAY INVOLVED IN
THAT. |
| 00:05:52 | WE EVEN MAKE GOES SO FAR AS TO
WRITE ANOTHER BOOK. |
| 00:05:56 | WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO TALK
ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND PUBLIC |
| 00:06:00 | FORUMS AROUND THE COUNTRY.
THE OF INVITED -- BEEN INVITED |
| 00:06:04 | TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES AROUND
WRONGFUL CONVICTION IN CHINA |
| 00:06:10 | WERE THE BOOK HAS BEEN
TRANSLATED INTO CHINESE AND |
| 00:06:14 | PUBLISHED BY THE PRESS.
WE OF AN ASTERISK NEXT YEAR GO |
| 00:06:16 | AND SPEAK THEIR.
>> AND YOU TALK ABOUT ASSOCIATE |
| 00:06:24 | DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS, NOT
JUST THE FOCUS OF INSTITUTIONS. |
| 00:06:30 | >> I MAINTAIN, AND I STRONGLY
BELIEVE THIS INCAUTION EVERYONE |
| 00:06:36 | AND HIGH SCHOOL TODAY.
THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND TO HAVE |
| 00:06:39 | A MEANINGFUL CAREER IN TODAY'S
ECONOMY, YOU LEAVE SOMETHING |
| 00:06:42 | BEHIND -- BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL.
YOU MAKE YOUR CHOICE, BUT IF YOU |
| 00:06:48 | CAN GET A ONE-YEAR PROGRAM THAT
SAYS YOU ARE CAPABLE IN THIS |
| 00:06:55 | FIELD, THAT IS THE KIND OF THING
YOU NEED TO HAVE TO DETERMINE |
| 00:07:00 | THE FIELD IN ECONOMIC PROSPECTS
OF THE DEAL, AND THEN GO GET |
| 00:07:04 | SOMETHING AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.
YOU NEED MORE THAN A DIPLOMA. |
| 00:07:08 | I DO NOT THINK EVERYONE NEEDS A
BACCALAUREATE DEGREE, AN |
| 00:07:12 | ASSOCIATE DEGREE, BUT THE MORE
YOU WISH TO DO, THE WERE YOU |
| 00:07:15 | WISH TO ACHIEVE, THE BETTER OFF
YOU ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE |
| 00:07:19 | OPPORTUNITY FOR POST-SECONDARY
IN EDUCATION. |
| 00:07:22 | >> YOU OF AN AUDITOR, ATTORNEY-
GENERAL, CHANCELLOR. |
| 00:07:26 | -- YOU HAVE BEEN AN AUDITOR,
ATTORNEY GENERAL, CHANCELLOR. |
| 00:07:30 | >> HE AND I BEGAN IN THE OHIO
LEGISLATURE IN 1980. |
| 00:07:35 | A LONG TIME AGO.
>> WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE JOB? |
| 00:07:41 | >> WHEN I WAS ELECTED STATE
AUDITOR, THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE |
| 00:07:46 | DID NOT DO A LOT.
IT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ME |
| 00:07:50 | TO RESHAPE IT IN AND DO SOME NEW
AND DRAMATIC THINGS, PERFORMANCE |
| 00:07:55 | AUDITING, BROADER INVESTIGATIVE
AUDITING. |
| 00:07:58 | IT WAS A VERY EXCITING TIME.
IF I LOOK OF THE PAST FOUR YEARS |
| 00:08:03 | OF MY CAREER, IT WAS THE FIRST
FOUR YEARS AS AUDITOR BECAUSE WE |
| 00:08:07 | WERE ABLE TO CHANGE SO MUCH, DO
SO MANY NEW THINGS. |
| 00:08:10 | I THINK AT THE SAME TIME DO
THINGS THAT WERE OF GREAT VALUE |
| 00:08:14 | TO PUBLIC OFFICES IN OHIO.
>> I AM GOING TO REACH DOWN AND |
| 00:08:18 | GRAB SOME CROPS.
YOU STARTED OUT WITH PETER TIME |
| 00:08:23 | LIKE.
BILL-LIKE FROM CINCINNATI AREA. |
| 00:08:26 | -- BILL HEIMLICH.
YOU SWITCH YOUR RUNNING MATE. |
| 00:08:34 | >> IT WAS NOT MY CHOICE.
PHIL DEVELOPED A CONUNDRUM HE |
| 00:08:43 | STARTED TO REGRET HIS
WILLINGNESS TO EXCEPT MY OFFER, |
| 00:08:46 | WHICH OCCURRED AT SOME POINT,
BECAUSE HE WAS RUNNING NOT FROM |
| 00:08:52 | COVER, SO HE WILL LOSE HIS SEAT
ON THE HAMILTON COUNTY COUNCIL. |
| 00:08:57 | >> SO I BASICALLY UNDERSTOOD
THAT CONUNDRUM. |
| 00:09:05 | IT IS OUR ROLE OF THE DICE.
I BASICALLY SAID I UNDERSTAND. |
| 00:09:10 | I HAD ANOTHER PERSON IN MIND.
WE HAD A VERY FINE CANDIDATES, A |
| 00:09:20 | GREAT TIME RUNNING TOGETHER.
>> IT WAS HARD WORK. |
| 00:09:24 | I LOST MY MERRY.
>> WHO WENT ON TO LOSE AGAINST |
| 00:09:30 | TED STRICKLAND.
>> I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IT |
| 00:09:34 | WOULD HAVE BEEN A TOUGH RACE FOR
ANY REPUBLICAN. |
| 00:09:37 | I THINK I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY
RUN BETTER. |
| 00:09:42 | KEN THAT WAS BROWSING AND
VIEWPOINTS THAT WERE MUCH MORE |
| 00:09:49 | CONSERVATIVE THAN I WAS HERE DID
MY VIEWPOINT WAS A LITTLE MORE |
| 00:09:53 | MODERATE.
I THINK IT WOULD BE MY VIEW THAT |
| 00:09:58 | A GENERAL ELECTION CONSTITUENCY
IN OHIO LOOKS FOR CANDIDATES |
| 00:10:01 | THAT ARE NOT TOO EXTREME TO THE
LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT BUT A |
| 00:10:05 | LITTLE CLOSER TO THE CENTER.
TAKER YOU ALSO ENDED UP -- >> |
| 00:10:12 | YOU ALSO ENDED UP BEING ACCUSED
OF CHANGING POSITIONS. |
| 00:10:14 | SO THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE
COULD POTENTIALLY SEE YOU |
| 00:10:22 | CAMPAIGNING BUT WOULD STILL BE
THE PUBLIC EYE. |
| 00:10:24 | >> I DO NOT KNOW I WILL BE IN
THE PUBLIC EYE AS MUCH AS I WILL |
| 00:10:30 | BE DOING PUBLIC FORUMS AND
DISCUSSIONS. |
| 00:10:32 | WHEN I WAS ATTORNEY GENERAL, I
WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THERE WERE |
| 00:10:42 | CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE PEOPLE WERE
BEING CONVICTED AND NEVER HAD A |
| 00:10:46 | CHANCE.
ONCE A VERDICT OCCURRED IN A |
| 00:10:48 | JURY CASE, SOMEONE MIGHT NEVER
EVER, EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE |
| 00:10:53 | WRONGFULLY CONVICTED, MIGHT
NEVER BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT, |
| 00:10:57 | BUT FOR DNA.
DNA BECAME THE NEW TOOL AND |
| 00:11:05 | BEGAN TO SHOW MISTAKES WERE
MADE. |
| 00:11:08 | BASED ON STUDIES OF DNA
APPLICATION TO CASES WHERE THERE |
| 00:11:19 | WAS AN EYEWITNESS, IT SHOWS AN
ONGOING AIR RATE OF 25% IN EYE |
| 00:11:25 | WITNESS CHOICES.
25 PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE WOULD |
| 00:11:32 | HAVE BEEN CONVICTED ON A CRIME
BASED ON EYEWITNESS |
| 00:11:35 | IDENTIFICATION.
I ARGUE THAT THE SYSTEM LED BY |
| 00:11:43 | THE PROSECUTOR RECOGNIZE THEIR
DUTY IS TO SEEK JUSTICE, TO FIND |
| 00:11:48 | THE TRUTH, NOT JUST WIN A
CONVICTION. |
| 00:11:51 | >> ALL RIGHT.
JIOM PETRO, WE WILL LOOK FOR YOU |
| 00:11:59 | OUT THERE.
YOU WILL BE IN OFFICE THROUGH |
| 00:12:02 | FEBRUARY?
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR |
| 00:12:04 | DECISION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
| 00:12:05 | WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
THE END OF THE YEAR OFFERS |
| 00:12:18 | EVERYONE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK
BACK ON THE YEAR THAT WAS AND |
| 00:12:21 | LOOK FORWARD TO THE YEAR THAT
WILL BE. |
| 00:12:23 | DVDS ADMINISTRATIONS, GOVERNORS
OF OHIO HAVE SAT DOWN FOR ONE- |
| 00:12:28 | ON-ONE INTERVIEWS WITH REPORTERS
AROUND THE STATE. |
| 00:12:31 | THE GOVERNOR STARTED WHAT IS A
NEW PRACTICE, A TWO-HOUR LONG |
| 00:12:35 | SESSION WHERE HE DETAILS HIS
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THOUGHTS |
| 00:12:39 | ABOUT THE PAST 12 MONTHS.
AS HE DID LAST YEAR, HE AVOIDED |
| 00:12:42 | -- INVITED SEVERAL CABINET
MEMBERS TO ATTEND. |
| 00:12:45 | YOU CAN SEE THE GOVERNOR'S
PRESENTATION ON THE OHIO CHANNEL |
| 00:12:52 | WEBSITE.
THE GOVERNOR ALSO TOOK QUESTIONS |
| 00:12:56 | FROM REPORTERS WHO WANTED HIM TO
EXPAND ON SOME OF THE BIGGEST |
| 00:13:00 | ISSUES HE HAS DEALT WITH AND
BROUGHT FORWARD THIS YEAR. |
| 00:13:03 | IN THE WAKE OF THE CONNECTICUT
SHOOTINGS, MANY CONCERNS HAVE |
| 00:13:07 | BEEN RAISED ABOUT CUTBACKS AND
MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS ACROSS |
| 00:13:11 | THE COUNTRY.
HE SAYS FUNDING MENTAL HEALTH IS |
| 00:13:14 | EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO HIM.
>> ANY WAY WE CAN GRIND OUT MORE |
| 00:13:17 | SAVINGS, AND IF WE HAVE TO FIND
SAVINGS -- IT IS A PRIORITY FOR |
| 00:13:22 | ME, SO WE HAVE TO GET THE
RESOURCES. |
| 00:13:24 | IT CANNOT BE DONE ALL AT ONCE.
WE HAVE TO OF A STEADY PATH |
| 00:13:29 | TOWARDS HELPING PEOPLE WHO HAVE
MENTAL ILLNESS. |
| 00:13:31 | TRYING TO BUILD THAT SAFETY NETS
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL THAT I DO NOT |
| 00:13:36 | THINK HAS BEEN AS EFFECTIVE AS
WE ALL WOULD LIKE. |
| 00:13:40 | >> THE GOVERNOR TOUTED BIG
SUCCESSES IN CREATING JOBS IN |
| 00:13:44 | OHIO, BUT THE FUNDING FOR HIS
JOBS OHIO AGENCY WITH STATE |
| 00:13:49 | LIQUOR PROFITS IS STILL TIED UP
IN COURT CASES. |
| 00:13:51 | HE SAYS IT IS STILL TO HAVE THE
PUBLIC/PRIVATE ENTITY WORKING TO |
| 00:13:56 | CREATE MORE JOBS.
>> WE WERE DOWN 400,000, UP |
| 00:14:02 | 127,000.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE HAVE TO |
| 00:14:04 | CELEBRATE -- CELEBRATE
VICTORIES. |
| 00:14:06 | IT PROVES THE EFFORT IS WORKING
AND GIVES PEOPLE A SENSE OF |
| 00:14:10 | HOPE.
WHEN I TRAVEL AROUND THE STATE, |
| 00:14:13 | IT IS A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE.
YOU GO WITH ME TO CLEVELAND. |
| 00:14:17 | THEY ARE PUMPED UP IN CLEVELAND.
I EVEN FIND THESE PEOPLE COME UP |
| 00:14:22 | OVER IN THE VALLEY.
PEOPLE ARE NOW MORE OPTIMISTIC. |
| 00:14:26 | I THINK THAT HELPS US IN TERMS
OF THE HOLD JOBS OHIO. |
| 00:14:33 | WE OF NOT EVEN BEGUN TO SCRATCH
THE SURFACE YET. |
| 00:14:35 | >> HE WAS ASKED ABOUT ACCESSING
FEDERAL STIMULUS DOLLARS. |
| 00:14:39 | AND WHETHER THE PLAN TO SELL
BONDS BACKED BY FUTURE TOLL |
| 00:14:43 | REVENUE IS A GOOD IDEA RIGHT
NOW. |
| 00:14:46 | >> WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN
ABILITY TO BRING VALUE AND OF |
| 00:14:50 | LEASH VALUE, SO IF WE WERE NOT
DOING THIS, THEN THESE PROJECTS |
| 00:14:55 | WOULD OCCUR IN 20-25 YEARS, BUT
BY BRINGING THEM FORWARD, WE'RE |
| 00:15:00 | SAVING MONEY BECAUSE THE COST
LESS, AND NO DIFFERENT THAN IF I |
| 00:15:05 | SAY TO YOU I WILL GIVE YOU $10,
WOULD YOU LIKE IT TODAY OR IN 10 |
| 00:15:08 | YEARS?
THE DEBT IS EASILY RETIRED |
| 00:15:14 | THROUGH THE REVENUE STREAM THAT
IS PROVIDED BY THE TOLLS ON THE |
| 00:15:19 | TURNPIKE, WHICH ARE COMING DOWN
UNDER OUR PLAN -- YOU KNOW WHAT |
| 00:15:24 | THEY SHOULD SAY TO YOU?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? |
| 00:15:29 | WHY DID SOMEONE NOT DO THIS
ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO? |
| 00:15:32 | YOU WHAT WERE THE POLLS.
YOU FIX THE TURNPIKE. |
| 00:15:36 | TO BRING PROJECTS FORWARD AND
CREATE JOBS. |
| 00:15:39 | I STILL CANNOT AND DOES THE
WHITE NOBODY DID THIS 25 YEARS |
| 00:15:44 | AGO OR 20 YEARS AGO OR 10 YEARS
AGO OR TWO YEARS AGO. |
| 00:15:47 | IN TERMS OF THE STIMULUS MONEY,
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING |
| 00:15:53 | ABOUT, BUT IF THERE IS FEDERAL
DOLLARS ON THE TABLE AND DO NOT |
| 00:15:57 | HAVE TO BUILD THE TRAIN THAT
GOES 30 MILES PER HOUR, WE WILL |
| 00:16:01 | BUILD EVERYTHING WE CAN.
WE'RE FORGETTING AS MANY |
| 00:16:05 | FEDERAL DOLLARS BACK HERE AS WE
POSSIBLY CAN, BECAUSE THEY'RE |
| 00:16:08 | NOT FEDERAL DOLLARS, THEY ARE
OUR DOLLARS. |
| 00:16:11 | HISTORICALLY OHIO HAS NEVER HAD
A GREAT ABILITY TO ACCESS THE |
| 00:16:16 | MONEY.
TO GO THE GOVERNOR HAD A FEW |
| 00:16:19 | WORDS TO OFFER.
>> I READ SOMEWHERE THAT WE'RE |
| 00:16:23 | JUST WANTED TO PRIVATIZE ALL
GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:16:25 | IT IS A LEAP BY PEOPLE WHO DO
NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING. |
| 00:16:32 | WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PRISONS, WE
AUTHORIZED THE LEASING OF I |
| 00:16:36 | THINK FIVE PRISONS AND ENDED UP
LEASING ONE. |
| 00:16:40 | THE REASON WE DID THAT IS WE
COULD HAVE GOT A BIG BUMP UP |
| 00:16:45 | FRONT, BUT THAT WOULD NOT LEAVE
THE STATE IN DECENT SHAPE. |
| 00:16:47 | IF WE CAN GET A GOOD DEAL OUT OF
SOMEBODY, GREAT, BUT I HAVE TO |
| 00:16:51 | TELL YOU, I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE
SOME BAD DEAL, AT LEAST ON |
| 00:16:56 | PURPOSE, FOR THE STATE OF ALL
VITAL FOR ANY COMPANY. |
| 00:17:01 | WE HAVE CHANGED THE WAY IN WHICH
WE'RE DOING OUR INCENTIVE |
| 00:17:05 | PROGRAM AND JOBS OHIO.
I HAVE LEARNED THAT THINGS. |
| 00:17:11 | IF YOU NOTICE, WE TAKEN OFF THE
WEBSITE THE ABILITY THAT IF YOU |
| 00:17:20 | WANT TO LEAVE OHIO AND SAY YOU
ARE LEAVING AND DO NOT GIVE US |
| 00:17:23 | HELP, THAT PROGRAM IS OFF THE
BOARD. |
| 00:17:25 | IT IS NOT ON OUR WEBSITE.
WE MIGHT HELP SOMEBODY IF THEY |
| 00:17:30 | ARE LEAVING AND IS A SPECIAL
CASE. |
| 00:17:33 | ONE OF THE REASONS -- JUST TO
TALK ABOUT THIS MATTER IS, WE |
| 00:17:38 | LOST NCR AND DID NOT WANT TO
LOSE THE WHOLE SPACE, BUT THERE |
| 00:17:44 | ARE CEOS THAT CALL ME.
I SAY IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE, I |
| 00:17:49 | HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE TRIP.
YOU KNOW WHAT IS FUNNY, THEY DO |
| 00:17:53 | NOT LEAVE.
THEN THEY WANT ME TO GET IN A |
| 00:17:56 | BIDDING WAR WITH SOMEONE IN
ANOTHER STATE. |
| 00:17:58 | WE ARE WILLING TO BE
COMPETITIVE, BUT I SAY LOOK, WE |
| 00:18:03 | AGREED HIGHER EDUCATION.
WE WILL HELP TRAIN YOUR WORKERS |
| 00:18:06 | BY USING TUITION EFFECTIVELY.
WE HAVE STABLE POLITICS, A GREAT |
| 00:18:11 | LOCATION, AND WE WILL GIVE YOU
SOMETHING ON THE TOP, BUT WE ARE |
| 00:18:15 | NOT GOING INTO A BIDDING WAR
WITH NORTH CAROLINA. |
| 00:18:19 | OR TEXAS.
AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. |
| 00:18:21 | SO FAR IT IS WORKING.
CHIQUITA WE LOST. |
| 00:18:29 | IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN US 100 YEARS
TO MAKE UP WHAT THEY WANTED. |
| 00:18:32 | SO WE WERE NOT DOING IT.
THIS IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. |
| 00:18:37 | TO GO ON THE SEVERANCE TAX,
WHICH HAS NOT MOVED AND THE |
| 00:18:42 | LEGISLATURE SINCE LAWMAKERS
STRIP IT FROM THE REVIEW IN |
| 00:18:45 | MARCH, THE GOVERNOR SAYS ENERGY
COMPANIES HAVE CONTINUED TO |
| 00:18:50 | INVEST IN OHIO AND SAYS THEY
WILL NOT RUN AWAY FROM SUCH |
| 00:18:53 | ATTACKS THAT HE SAYS NEED TO
HAPPEN TO CUT THE STATE INCOME |
| 00:18:58 | TAX AND MAKE OHIO COMPETITIVE.
>> I THINK THERE IS AND HOW -- |
| 00:19:03 | THERE IS AN APPREHENSION.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? |
| 00:19:06 | 20 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR TO 4%, I
HAVE MADE A NUMBER OF FOREIGN |
| 00:19:15 | TRAVEL TO HOUSTON.
EVERY TIME I MEET WITH THE |
| 00:19:21 | INDUSTRY PRIVATELY, THEY SAY WE
SHOULD TAKE THIS AND RUN. |
| 00:19:25 | THEN THEY GET THEIR LOBBYISTS
AND ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE IN |
| 00:19:29 | THE OBSCURE THE ISSUE.
IT WILL BECOME CLEARER AND PART |
| 00:19:32 | OF THE TAX REFORM.
LET ME JUST SUGGEST TO ALL OF |
| 00:19:37 | YOU, AND I KNOW THERE ARE
SKEPTICS AMONG YOU, THIS INCOME |
| 00:19:42 | TAX IS TOO HIGH.
PEOPLE SAY WE OF ALREADY LOWERED |
| 00:19:45 | ITS AND DID IT DO ANY GOOD?
WE HAVE 127,000 JOBS, INCLUDING |
| 00:19:51 | A MORE FRIENDLY BUSINESS
CLIMATE, BUT THIS TAX AT 5.9% IS |
| 00:19:55 | TOO HIGH.
A COMPREHENSIVE TAX REFORM |
| 00:19:59 | PROGRAM, WHICH WE WILL HAVE FOR
YOU IN FEBRUARY, IS GOING TO |
| 00:20:04 | PRESENT THE LEGISLATURE WITH AN
OPTION TO LOWER THE TAX ON SMALL |
| 00:20:10 | BUSINESS.
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT CREATE |
| 00:20:12 | THE JOBS.
SO NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT AN 8% |
| 00:20:18 | SEPARATE TAX EXCEPT FOR SOMEONE
THAT MIGHT END UP PUTTING IT ON |
| 00:20:22 | THE BALLOT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING |
| 00:20:23 | THAT IS REASONABLE.
WE OF WORK WITH THIS INDUSTRY. |
| 00:20:27 | IN REGARDS TO THIS INDUSTRY, I
AM NOW GOVERNOR, BUT THE DAY |
| 00:20:33 | WILL COME WHEN I WAS NOT THE
GOVERNOR AND YOU WILL WANT TO |
| 00:20:36 | COME TO MY FIRST SPEECH.
>> THE LEADERS OF THE OHIO HOUSE |
| 00:20:42 | AND SENATE ADDED THEIR THOUGHTS
THIS SESSION. |
| 00:20:45 | THE HOUSE SAID THERE IS
CONFIDENT -- HE IS CONFIDENT |
| 00:20:48 | THERE CAN BE A RESOLUTION.
-- SENATE 30 HOUSE SAID HE IS |
| 00:20:52 | CONFIDENT THERE CAN BE
RESOLUTION. |
| 00:20:53 | >YOU CAN HEAR THEIR ANSWERS TO
QUESTIONS ON THE SEVERANCE TAX |
| 00:21:01 | ISSUE HERE ON UPCOMING SHOWS.
ON EDUCATION HE WAS ASKED ABOUT |
| 00:21:05 | THE CHANGES HE'S BACK, INCLUDING
THE THIRD GRADE READING |
| 00:21:12 | GUARANTEE AND A DASH AT SYSTEM
OF REPORT CARDS FOR SCHOOLS AND |
| 00:21:15 | DISTRICTS.
ON THE LATTER ONE, HE PERSONALLY |
| 00:21:18 | CALLED BATCHELDER, NIEHAUS AND
THEIR AIDES. |
| 00:21:24 | >> I SAID DO NOT LET THIS DIE,
IT IS SUPPORTED. |
| 00:21:29 | IF WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE
MIDDLE WITH TRANSFORMATION -- |
| 00:21:35 | INFORMATION HIGHWAY AND THE
OTHER END WAS A TURNPIKE. |
| 00:21:37 | THE TURNPIKE IN A WIDELY-
ACCEPTED -- I WOULD HAVE BEEN |
| 00:21:43 | DEVASTATED HAVE IS NOT PASSED,
BUT IT DID. |
| 00:21:46 | THE THIRD GRADE READING
GUARANTEE IS REALLY CRITICAL. |
| 00:21:50 | IT IS NOT LIKE HOW DID YOU DO ON
THE TEST? |
| 00:21:53 | IT WILL TAKE WORK, AND WE ARE
ALREADY IMPLEMENTING IT. |
| 00:21:57 | STAFF IS ALL OVER IT.
>> HE CONTINUED TO MENTION A NEW |
| 00:22:02 | SCHOOL FUNDING FORMULA WILL BE
PART OF HIS UPCOMING BUDGET, |
| 00:22:09 | WHICH HE WILL INTRODUCE IN
FEBRUARY BUT HE STILL WILL NOT |
| 00:22:13 | GET TOO MANY DETAILS.
>> ONE THING I HAVE SAID IS I |
| 00:22:17 | WANT A CHILD, NO MATTER WHERE
THEY LIVE AND WHAT THE WEALTH IS |
| 00:22:20 | IN THEIR DISTRICT, TO BE ABLE TO
COMPETE EFFECTIVELY WITH THE |
| 00:22:24 | CHILD AND EVERY OTHER DISTRICT.
IF YOU ARE POOR, YOU HAVE TO |
| 00:22:28 | HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPETE WITH
THE RESOURCES NEEDED FOR A CHILD |
| 00:22:31 | THAT LIVES IN THE DISTRICT THAT
IS WEALTHY. |
| 00:22:34 | EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE.
THERE WILL BE SOME -- THERE IS A |
| 00:22:42 | CHANGE IN THE SCHOOL FUNDING,
BUT I SEE IT AS SOMETHING I |
| 00:22:45 | WOULD CHARACTERIZE -- IT IS NOT
DONE EITHER. |
| 00:22:49 | IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN JUST
THE DOLLARS. |
| 00:22:52 | IT IS THE DIRECTION WE'RE GOING
AND THE PHILOSOPHY THAT MORE |
| 00:22:57 | DOLLARS IN THE CLASSROOM, EVERY
CHILD DESERVES A RIGHT TO BE |
| 00:23:01 | SUCCESSFUL, TO COMPETE.
THERE ARE THINGS THAT I THINK |
| 00:23:08 | SHOULD BE VIEWED VERY
POSITIVELY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY |
| 00:23:11 | FOR SCHOOLS TO CHANGE, INNOVATE,
AND WAYS FOR THEM TO DO THAT. |
| 00:23:15 | >> HE SAID HE WANTS AN EDUCATION
NIGHT, BRINGING EDUCATORS, AND |
| 00:23:22 | PFIZER'S -- ADVISERS AND OTHERS
TO THE OTHER FOR WHAT HE CALLED |
| 00:23:25 | AN EVENING OF DISCUSSION.
HE WAS ALSO ASKED THE QUESTION |
| 00:23:28 | THAT HAS STARTED TO EXASPERATE
HIM, WHETHER SO-CALLED RIGHT TO |
| 00:23:32 | WORK LEGISLATION WILL BE
INTRODUCED IN OHIO, NOW THAT |
| 00:23:37 | LAWS BANNING THE REQUIREMENT
THAT WORKERS UNIONIZE HAVE |
| 00:23:40 | PASSED IN INDIANA AND MICHIGAN.
>> WE OF A VERY AGGRESSIVE |
| 00:23:45 | AGENDA THAT IS MOVING OHIO AND
THE RIGHT DIRECTION. |
| 00:23:48 | JOB-TRAINING INITIATIVES.
THE ABILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THE |
| 00:23:59 | INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT IS MY FOCUS. |
| 00:24:01 | >> THE QUESTION OF WHETHER YOU
SUPPORT OR OPPOSE -- |
| 00:24:12 | >> WHEN YOU HAVE A FOCUS, YOU
HAVE TO FOCUS ON YOUR AGENDA. |
| 00:24:16 | THAT IS WHAT I AM FOCUSED ON.
THINK OF ME THIS WAY, THINK OF |
| 00:24:21 | ME AS A HORSE TRYING TO RUN TO
THE FINISH LINE WITH BLINDERS |
| 00:24:28 | ON.
I AM NOT LOOKING AT ANY WORSE IS |
| 00:24:30 | NEXT TO ME.
>> BILL COHEN OF THE STATEHOUSE |
| 00:24:38 | NEWS BUREAU BROUGHT UP THE
STRENGTH AND REPUBLICAN MAJORITY |
| 00:24:41 | IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE, WHICH
WILL ALLOW LAWMAKERS TO PUT |
| 00:24:45 | ISSUES DIRECTLY BEFORE VOTERS.
>> NEXT QUESTION. |
| 00:24:51 | >> HE SAYS OVERALL HE IS PLEASED
WITH WHAT HE HAS DONE, WHICH HE |
| 00:24:59 | SAID SHOULD BE CREDITED TO THE
WHOLE TEAM AND EXTENDED TO THE |
| 00:25:02 | ENTIRE STATE.
>> I HAVE BEEN OF POLITICS ALONG |
| 00:25:06 | TIME.
BRAGGING AND ALL THAT STUFF, I |
| 00:25:11 | HAVE TO PRESENT THE RECORD RIGHT
THAT THIS IS NOT ABOUT WE'RE |
| 00:25:17 | DOING BETTER, EVERYONE IS DOING
BETTER, MOMS AND DADS ARE |
| 00:25:20 | BETTER, KIDS ARE GETTING FOOD TO
EAT IN THE SUMMER THAT THEY |
| 00:25:23 | MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD.
WE DID NOT HAVE TO CUT ANYONE |
| 00:25:27 | OFF OF MEDICAID.
THIS IS JUST GOOD FOR THE STATE. |
| 00:25:31 | I HAPPEN TO BE A PART OF IT AND
THINK IT IS GREAT. |
| 00:25:34 | I HAPPEN TO THINK THE LORD IS
HAPPY WITH THE PROGRESS WE'VE |
| 00:25:38 | MADE.
>> WE WILL CONTINUE LOOKING |
| 00:25:41 | BACK AND LOOKING FORWARD OVER
THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. |
| 00:25:43 | NEXT WEEK THE LEADERS OF THE
HOUSE WILL BE HERE. |
| 00:25:48 | THE WEEK AFTER, OUR FIRST SHOW
OF 2013, WILL FEATURE DEPARTING |
| 00:25:53 | SENATE PRESIDENT TOM NIEHAUS AND
MINORITY LEADER ERIC KEARNEY. |
