John Kasich to reveal vision of Ohio to statehouse insiders

Ohio GOP candidate for Governor John Kasich will have a chance on Nov. 4 to tell a special gathering of statehouse insiders about his vision for the future of Ohio.

The event, which will be held at the Columbus Athletic Club but is not a fundraiser and for which no contribution is being requested for attending, was announced in a letter dated Columbus Day to registered legislative and executive agency agents and signed jointly by Bill Harris, President of the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate, William G. Batchelder, House GOP leader, and Kevin DeWine, chairman of the Ohio GOP.

Leading in with the sad state of the state today, the trio said "Ohio is facing the most significant challenges of a generation...record unemployment, a business climate that thwarts economic growth and income growth that is among the slowest in the country." In short, the troika of GOP officials said "Ohio isn't competitive, especially with our neighbors."
