00:00:33>> THE STATE'S TOP ELECTIONS
OFFICIAL SAYS SOME PEOPLE WHO
00:00:36VOTED IN THE 2012 ELECTION
WEREN'T LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DO
00:00:38SO.
AND LOOKING BACK ON 2013 THROUGH
00:00:40GOVERNOR KASICH'S EYES.
ALL THIS WEEK ON "THE STATE OF
00:00:46OHIO PEER, --"THE STATE OF OHIO
."
00:00:52CAPTIONED BY THE
NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE
00:00:56--WWW.NCICAP.ORG--
OHIO'S CHIEF ELECTIONS OFFICER
00:01:03IS ASKING PROSECUTORS AROUND THE
STATE TO INVESTIGATE 17 PEOPLE
00:01:05WHO VOTED IN OHIO DURING THE
2012 ELECTION.
00:01:06SECRETARY OF STATE JON HUSTED
SAYS 17 NON-CITIZENS VOTED IN
00:01:09THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION LAST
YEAR, AND 274 NON-CITIZENS ARE
00:01:12REGISTERED TO VOTE BEFORE DID
NOT CAST A BALLOT.
00:01:14HUSTED SAYS HIS OFFICE
DISCOVERED THIS IN THE PROCESS
00:01:16OF CLEANING UP VOTER ROLLS IN
OHIO, WHICH HE SAYS HE DID BY
00:01:18GOING TO THE BUREAU OF MOTOR
VEHICLES, BECAUSE HE NOTES THAT
00:01:21THE STATE DOESN'T HAVE A
COMPREHENSIVE DATABASE OF ALL
00:01:24NON-CITIZENS IN THE STATE.
>> IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A DRIVER'S
00:01:27LICENSE, SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A
CITIZEN BUT RESIDING IN OHIO
00:01:33LEGALLY MUST PROVIDE DON --
DOCUMENTATION TO DMV ON A
00:01:38REGULAR BASIS.
RECORDS SHOW THE 17 INDIVIDUALS
00:01:43IN QUESTION DIVIDED NONCITIZEN
DOCUMENTATION BEFORE THE
00:01:47NOVEMBER 6, 2012 GENERAL
ELECTION, AND HAVE SINCE
00:01:53PROVIDED THE SAME NONCITIZEN
INFORMATION.
00:01:54THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE BASED
ON INFORMATION THEY, THEY
00:01:58THEMSELVES PROVIDED, WE HAVE A
GREATER DEGREE OF CERTAINTY THAT
00:02:06THEY WERE NOT CITIZENS AT THE
TIME THAT THEY CAST BALLOTS IN
00:02:07OHIO.
>> HUSTED IS CAREFUL TO NOTE
00:02:08THAT THE PEOPLE IN QUESTION ARE
NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, BUT ARE
00:02:11DOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE
NON-CITIZENS, AND THEREFORE NOT
00:02:13ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.
HUSTED SAYS THE CASES OF THE 17
00:02:16NON-CITIZENS WHO VOTED HAVE BEEN
REFERRED TO VARIOUS COUNTY
00:02:20PROSECUTORS, AND THAT LETTERS
HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE 274 OTHER
00:02:22NON-CITIZENS WHO ARE REGISTERED
BUT DIDN'T CAST BALLOTS TO
00:02:25INFORM THEM THEY ARE NOT
QUALIFIED TO VOTE.
00:02:28ONE CRITIC OF ELECTION LAW
CHANGES SAYS SHE HAS NO PROBLEM
00:02:31WITH HUSTED CROSSCHECKING VOTING
INFORMATION WITH THE BMV
00:02:34DATABASE.
BUT DEMOCRATIC STATE
00:02:37REPRESENTATIVE KATHLEEN CLYDE OF
KENT SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT TO
00:02:40REMEMBER THERE ARE FAR MORE
PEOPLE WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO VOTE
00:02:44WHO ARE UNABLE TO CAST BALLOTS.
>> YOU KNOW, ONCE AGAIN,
00:02:49SECRETARY HUSTED HAS REVEALED
HOW RARE OF A PROBLEM VOTER
00:02:53FRAUD IS IN OHIO.
COMPARED TO THE REAL PROBLEMS IN
00:02:58OUR ELECTION, THE SECRETARY IS
FOCUSED ON .0003% OF THE 5.63
00:03:06MILLION VOTES CAST IN THE
NOVEMBER 2012 ELECTION.
00:03:11IN THAT SAME ELECTION, WE HAD
MORE THAN 47,000 VOTERS HAD
00:03:16THEIR VOTES THROWN OUT AND OVER
3 MILLION OHIOANS DIDN'T
00:03:19PARTICIPATE IN THE ELECTION AT
ALL.
00:03:25>> CLYDE CAUTIONS THAT STATE
OFFICIALS NEED TO BE CAREFUL IN
00:03:27HOW THEY CHECK VOTING
INFORMATION, BECAUSE SHE SAYS
00:03:28THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS
REPORTED WITH THE BMV DATABASE
00:03:30THAT HUSTED RELIED ON FOR HIS
ANALYSIS.
00:03:35SHE SAYS THE FOCUS NEEDS TO BE
ON WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE
00:03:37VOTING EASIER FOR OHIOANS.
THE STATE SUPREME COURT HAS
00:03:39UPHELD THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 91-
TURBINE WIND FARM IN NORTH-
00:03:43CENTRAL OHIO, REJECTING THE
OPPONENTS' ARGUMENTS THAT THEY
00:03:47WERE DENIED DUE PROCESS RIGHTS.
THE COURT'S DECISION AFFIRMS THE
00:03:51APPROVAL BY THE OHIO POWER
SITING BOARD OF THE BLACK FORK
00:03:55WIND FARM, WHICH IS IN RICHLAND
AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES.
00:03:57THE COURT FOUND THAT THE
OPPONENTS HAD PLENTY OF
00:04:00OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THEIR
OPPOSITION TO THE WIND FARM,
00:04:07WHICH COULD GENERATE UP TO 200
MEGAWATTS OF POWER AND HAVE A
00:04:16LIFE SPAN 25 YEARS.
OHIO LAW REQUIRES THAT 25
00:04:18PERCENT OF ELECTRICITY SOLD IN
THE STATE COME FROM ALTERNATIVE
00:04:21ENERGY SOURCES BY 2025, THOUGH
ANOTHER LAW HAS BEEN PROPOSED BY
00:04:27REPUBLICAN
BILL SEITZ OF CINCINNATI THAT
00:04:30WOULD CHANGE THOSE STANDARDS.
MORE ON THAT COMING UP.
00:04:33A STATE LEGISLATIVE PANEL HAS
APPROVED THE FIRST ROUND OF
00:04:35EDUCATION INNOVATION GRANTS
THROUGH OHIO'S STRAIGHT A FUND.
00:04:37THE CONTROLLING BOARD CLEARED
$88 MILLION IN RECOMMENDED GRANT
00:04:39FUNDING FOR 24 FINALISTS,
SELECTED FROM 569 APPLICANTS.
00:04:42STATE SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT
RICHARD ROSS SAID THE SMALL
00:04:45NUMBER OF WINNING APPLICATIONS
INVOLVE 150 INSTITUTIONS AND
00:04:47BENEFIT 360,000 CHILDREN.
THE FUND WAS PART OF GOV.
00:04:56JOHN KASICH'S BUDGET PROPOSAL,
AND OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN
00:04:58SEPTEMBER WITH THE GOAL OF
REWARDING CREATIVE IDEAS THAT
00:05:02SIGNIFICANTLY BOOST STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT, REDUCE SPENDING OR
00:05:04TARGET AN IMPRESSIVE SHARE OF
RESOURCES INTO THE CLASSROOM.
00:05:06DEMOCRATS ON THE PANEL
CRITICIZED THE FUND'S ALL-WHITE,
00:05:08ALL-REPUBLICAN GOVERNING BOARD
FOR LACKING THE SAME DIVERSITY
00:05:12FOUND IN OHIO'S SCHOOLS.
BUT ROSS SAID A DIVERSE MIX OF
00:05:15EDUCATORS AND OTHERS HELPED
SCREEN THE APPLICATIONS.
00:05:19EVERY YEAR AROUND THIS TIME, WE
START LOOKING BACK OVER THE LAST
00:05:2211 MONTHS.
EACH YEAR I'VE SAT DOWN WITH THE
00:05:24LEADERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE
TOGETHER MY INTERVIEW WITH THE
00:05:28HOUSE LEADERS WILL BE THE FIRST
SHOW OF 2014, AND I EXPECT TO
00:05:30HAVE A SIMILAR CONVERSATION WITH
THE SENATE LEADERS THE FIRST
00:05:36WEEKS OF JANUARY.
AND I HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH
00:05:46WITH REPUBLICAN BOB TAFT AND
DEMOCRATIC TED STRICKLAND EACH
00:05:56YEAR THEY WERE IN OFFICE.
THE ADMINISTRATION OF GOV.
00:05:58JOHN KASICH HAS DONE THINGS
DIFFERENTLY IN MANY WAYS, AND
00:06:00THE ANNUAL YEAR-END INTERVIEW IS
ONE OF THEM.
00:06:02HIS FIRST YEAR, HE INVITED
STATEHOUSE REPORTERS TO A
00:06:05MARATHON EVENT AT THE GOVERNOR'S
RESIDENCE, WHERE HE AND HIS
00:06:07CABINET MEMBERS WENT THROUGH
THEIR LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN
00:06:10A PRESENTATION THAT WAS
REMARKABLE SIMILAR TO HIS TOWN-
00:06:12HALL STYLE BUDGET ROLLOUT.
HIS SECOND YEAR, HE SWAPPED OUT
00:06:14THE CABINET MEMBERS AND MET THE
MEDIA IN HIS STATEHOUSE OFFICE
00:06:21WITH MARY TAYLOR, FLANKED BY
HOUSE SPEAKER BILL BATCHELDER
00:06:22AND SENATE PRESIDENT TOM
NIEHAUS.
00:06:24THIS YEAR, HE PRESENTED HIS
YEAR-IN-REVIEW BEFORE A
00:06:31FRIENDLY CROWD -- THE MEMBERS OF
OHIO'S CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AT A
00:06:33DOWNTOWN COLUMBUS HOTEL.
THE GUESTS INCLUDED FORMER GOV.
00:06:37BOB TAFT AND FORMER US
REPRESENTATIVE DEBORAH PRYCE,
00:06:39BOTH REPUBLICANS.
ONCE AGAIN, KASICH WAS JOINED IN
00:06:46THE SPOTLIGHT BY THE LEADERS OF
THE LEGISLATURE, SENATE
00:06:47PRESIDENT KEITH FABER AND
SPEAKER BATCHELDER.
00:06:49FABER REVIEWED THE LAST TWO
BUDGETS, AND SAID LAWMAKERS
00:06:53AREN'T DONE WITH TAX CUTS, WHICH
HE AND OTHER REPUBLICANS HAVE
00:06:54SAID BEFORE.
FABER ALSO BLASTED THE FEDERAL
00:06:58DEBT, SAYING THAT WHAT HE CALLED
"HEADWINDS" FROM WASHINGTON ARE
00:07:00TO BLAME FOR A LOT OF THE BAD
ECONOMIC NEWS IN OHIO RECENTLY.
00:07:03HE ALSO ANNOUNCED SOME NEWS
THAT LEGISLATORS WANT TO RENEW
00:07:05THE OHIO PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM,
WHICH HELPS FUND INFRASTRUCTURE
00:07:08PROJECTS AROUND THE STATE.
>> A RESOLUTION THAT WILL ASK
00:07:11OHIO VOTERS IN THE MAY ELECTION
TO APPROVE
00:07:21A CONTINUATION, NOT AT THE
CURRENT LEVEL, BUT 200 MILLION
00:07:23FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IS FULLY
FUNDABLE AND KEEPS US AT THE
00:07:28VERY LOW DEBT RATIO.
THAT'S A GOOD THING.
00:07:30>> FABER SAYS THE BOND RENEWAL
REQUEST VOTERS COULD SEE IN MAY
00:07:35WOULD BE A 10-YEAR REQUEST FOR
$175 MILLION IN THE FIRST FIVE
00:07:38YEARS AND $200 MILLION FOR THE
SECOND FIVE, AND IT WOULD BE FOR
00:07:42THE STATE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM.
00:07:44THAT PROGRAM WAS LAST RENEWED BY
VOTERS IN 1987.
00:07:47SPEAKER BILL BATCHELDER TOOK THE
MIC NEXT, AND PRAISED KASICH'S
00:07:52APPROACH TO JOBS AS BEING
SIMILAR TO THAT OF REPUBLICAN
00:08:04FORMER GOVERNOR JIM RHODES.
BUT THEN HE TALKED ABOUT ONE
00:08:06AREA OF DISAGREEMENT WITH KASICH
MEDICAID EXPANSION.
00:08:08>> I DID NOT AGREE WITH THE
STEPS THAT WERE TAKEN, BUT I CAN
00:08:11TELL YOU THAT WE
ARE NOW WORKING ON A MEDICAL
00:08:17PLAN FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS
STATE THAT WILL HELP THEM IN
00:08:20MANY WAYS.
OUR FOLKS AT THE HOUSE OF
00:08:24REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ACTUALLY
UNDERTAKEN -- I BELIEVE RIGHT
00:08:28NOW IT IS 15 PIECES OF
LEGISLATION TO STRENGTHEN HEALTH
00:08:31CARE IN OHIO.
>> THEN BATCHELDER TURNED IT
00:08:33OVER TO KASICH AFTER INTRODUCING
HIM AS "THE GREATEST GOVERNOR IN
00:08:35THE COUNTRY" WHO BATCHELDER SAID
HAS STOOD UP TO CRITICISM THAT
00:08:37HE CALLED "FANCIFUL".
AS IS TYPICAL IN HIS SPEECHES,
00:08:40KASICH MOVED AWAY FROM THE STAGE
TOWARD THE AUDIENCE, AND BEGAN
00:08:43BY POINTING OUT HIS CABINET
MEMBERS AND CLOSE ADVISERS --
00:08:45STARTING WITH JOBSOHIO CEO JOHN
MINOR.
00:08:50>> JOBSOHIO IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
00:08:59TOOL IN AMERICA.
OTHER STATES HAVE BEGUN TO
00:09:06EMULATE IT, AND YOU WILL SEE
WHY.
00:09:06THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING
ABOUT.
00:09:08IT IS IMPORTANT WHEN YOU TALK TO
JOB CREATORS THAT YOU HAVE
00:09:13PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERTISE IN
THE FIELD.
00:09:14JAMIE DIMON DOES NOT WANT TO
TALK TO A BUREAUCRAT THAT DOES
00:09:20NOT UNDERSTAND FINANCIAL
SERVICES, OK?
00:09:22WE HAVE THE LARGEST NUMBER OF
CHASE EMPLOYEES IN THE STATE OF
00:09:26OHIO, DID YOU KNOW THAT?
OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK, WE ARE
00:09:30NUMBER ONE.
HE IS A SMART GUY.
00:09:33YOU HAVE TO TALK TO HIM.
YOU HAVE TO MOVE QUICKLY, YOU
00:09:35HAVE TO MOVE PAST -- FAST.
IN THE PAST, THEY DIDN'T ANSWER
00:09:38THE BELL QUICKLY ENOUGH.
THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE
00:09:44ISSUES AS THOROUGHLY AS THEY
NEEDED TO.
00:09:45JOBSOHIO WENT THROUGH POLITICAL
NONSENSE.
00:09:48WE HAVE GIVEN UP ON THAT AND NOW
THIS ORGANIZATION IS STARTING TO
00:09:54GROW AND FILL OUT ITS RANKS, AND
FROM -- FOR ALL OF YOU,
00:09:59UNDERSTAND THAT ECONOMIC GROWTH
IS NOT JUST COME FROM THE TOP
00:10:01DOWN, BUT IT COMES FROM THE
BOTTOM UP.
00:10:06>> KASICH SAID HE'S ON THE PHONE
ALMOST EVERY DAY WITH CEOS TO
00:10:08SELL THEM ON WHAT OHIO HAS TO
OFFER, AND THEN HE THEN CALLED
00:10:15ON CHAMBER MEMBERS WHO ENDORSED
HIM IN 2010 TO BE MORE
00:10:16SUPPORTIVE OF HIS IDEAS.
THE OHIO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAD
00:10:17SUPPORTED MEDICAID EXPANSION AND
THE INCOME TAX CUT IN HIS
00:10:19INITIAL BUDGET, BUT HAD BALKED
AT HIS PLANS TO EXPAND THE STATE
00:10:21SALES TAX.
>> I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, AS
00:10:31MEMBERS OF THE CHAMBER TO ALWAYS
BE FOR TAX CUTS.
00:10:37I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT.
WE HAVE TO DO IT.
00:10:41WE HAVE TO PRODUCE A PERSONAL
INCOME TAX.
00:10:42$17 BILLION WALKED OUT OF THE
STATE SINCE 1975 -- 1995.
00:10:48WHERE DOES IT GO?
FLORIDA, NEVADA, TEXAS,
00:10:54TENNESSEE -- GUESS WHAT ALL OF
THEM HAVE IN COMMON?
00:10:55NO INCOME TAX.
WE NEED TO REDUCE THESE TAXES IS
00:11:03ANOTHER WAY TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE
TO MOVE TO OUR STATE.
00:11:05WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IMAGE.
I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT LESS
00:11:13WEXNER HAS AGREED TO LOOK AT A
MARKETING PLAN FOR OUR STATE,
00:11:17BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN PEOPLE
LIVE IN CALIFORNIA I DO NOT
00:11:19WANT. -- THE SPOUSE WORKED UP
THAT THEY WILL BE MOVING TO OHIO
00:11:25BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE
NOTION.
00:11:27WHEN PEOPLE GET ON AN AIRPLANE
AND MOVED TO OHIO, THEY NEVER
00:11:30LEAVE.
IT IS GETTING THEM HERE TO
00:11:33UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE.
WE WILL TOGETHER A MARKETING
00:11:36PLAN.
YOU MIGHT SAY WHY WEXNER?
00:11:41I HAVE TWO WL DAUGHTERS, AND
THEY ARE NOT PLAYING FOOTBALL,
00:11:45BUT IF I HAD A SON AND HE WAS
GOING TO PLAY FOOTBALL, AND A
00:11:47MANNING SAID LET ME SHOW HIM HOW
TO PASS, I WOULD TAKE HIM UP ON
00:11:53IT.
I DO NOT KNOW IF WE WILL HAVE A
00:11:55"THE TORILLA SECRET --
VICTORIA'S SECRET MARKETING PLAN
00:12:03FOR OHIO, BUT IT IS NOT A BAD
THOUGHT.
00:12:04>> KASICH THEN TURNED TO
MEDICAID, TALKING SPECIFICALLY
00:12:09ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS AND DRUG
ADDICTION, SAYING THAT WHAT HAS
00:12:12BEEN DONE WITH THE MENTALLY ILL
COUNTRY IS, QUOTING HIM, A
00:12:25DISGRACE.
>> YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT A PROGRAM
00:12:30WE ARE GOING TO START WITH THE
HIGHWAY PATROL MEETING WITH
00:12:33SPORTS TEAMS TO TALK ABOUT THE
DANGER OF DRUGS, AND WE NEED TO
00:12:35GIVE THEM A REASON TO SAY NO.
JUST SAY NO DOES NOT WORK.
00:12:39ROSS USED TO TELL FOOTBALL
PLAYERS WE ARE GOING TO DRUG
00:12:43TEST YOU ON SUNDAY.
HE WAS NOT GOING TO, BUT HE TOLD
00:12:49THEM THAT SO THAT WHEN THEY WENT
TO THE PARTY SATURDAY NIGHT, AND
00:12:53SOMEBODY WAS PASSING AROUND
PILLS, THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS HAD
00:12:57A REASON TO SAY I CANNOT DO IT.
WE HAVE TO GIVE OUR CHILDREN A
00:13:00CHANCE TO SAY NO, AND WHEN
MOTHERS AND FATHERS TALK TO
00:13:04THEIR CHILDREN EXTENSIVELY ABOUT
DRUGS, THERE IS A REDUCTION IN
00:13:08USAGE.
YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT A BIG
00:13:11PROGRAM.
IT IS EXCITING.
00:13:12>> HE GOT APPLAUSE WHEN HE
MENTIONED THE APPEAL OF THE
00:13:17ESTATE TAX, AND THE PEELING BACK
FROM THE BUREAUS OF WORKERS
00:13:23COMPENSATION.
HE ALSO NOTED THAT "WE MUST
00:13:25ATTACH THE JOBS NEEDS OF TODAY
AND TOMORROW TO OUR EDUCATION
00:13:28SYSTEM WHEN TALKING ABOUT
EDUCATION.
00:13:31>> HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW MANY
KIDS CANNOT READ AT A THIRD
00:13:40GRADE LEVEL?
A QUESTION -- WE SHOULD PUT THEM
00:13:46IN THE FLOOR -- FOURTH GRADE
WHEN THEY CANNOT READ IN THE
00:13:48THIRD GRADE?
THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
00:13:52AND WE HAVE 24000 AND DROP OUT
OF HIGH SCHOOL EACH YEAR.
00:13:55WE'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
00:14:04HE'S STRUGGLED WITH HOW TO DEAL
WITH SOME OF THE BIG ISSUES
00:14:06THERE.
>> YOU REMEMBER I SAID THAT IT'S
00:14:11A SIN NOT TO HELP PEOPLE WHO
NEED HELP?
00:14:12MY MOTHER TOLD THIS, AND IT IS
ALSO BIBLICAL.
00:14:17IT IS A SIN TO HELP PEOPLE WHO
NEED TO LEARN HOW TO HELP
00:14:21THEMSELVES.
[APPLAUSE]
00:14:22EVERYONE WANTS TO CLAP FOR THAT
SIDE OF IT. I GET IT.
00:14:27IT IS SOME SORT OF A CONNECTION
BETWEEN HEALTH, EDUCATION,
00:14:32TRAINING, AND, PROBABLY, HAVING
TO DO ALSO WITH A NUMBER OF
00:14:41SOCIAL SERVICES THAT COME
TOGETHER AT A POINT WHERE WE CAN
00:14:45GET PEOPLE LIFTED.
UNTIL MUCH OF THE SYSTEMS ARE
00:14:53ARCHAIC, AND THEY ARE NOT
FLEXIBLE.
00:14:55IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU HAVE
SOMEBODY THAT IS ON A BENEFIT
00:14:59PROGRAM, AND THEY CAN GET A JOB,
YET THEY CANNOT GET A JOB THAT
00:15:03PAYS ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT
THEY ARE GETTING, IT DOES NOT
00:15:06WORK REALLY WELL, DOES IT?
WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO
00:15:09INCENTIVIZE PEOPLE BACK TO WORK,
AND HERE IS THE REASON -- IF
00:15:14PEOPLE ARE NOT WORKING OVER
TIME, THE CHILDREN SEE A ROLE
00:15:18MODEL AND AN EXAMPLE THAT IS NOT
HELPFUL FOR THEIR FUTURE, AND I
00:15:23LEARNED THIS IN WELFARE REFORM
WHERE I WAS A MAJOR PARTICIPANT,
00:15:25AND THEY SEND -- SAID WHEN WE
WERE GOING TO ELIMINATE THE TIME
00:15:31AND NOT LET PEOPLE BE ON
WELFARE, PEOPLE SCREAMED IT
00:15:33WOULD BE A DISASTER, AND NOW
PEOPLE WHO ARE ON WELFARE SAY
00:15:39THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID,
THANK YOU FOR GETTING US OFF.
00:15:41IT IS A EFFECTIVE TRAINING,
AFFECTIVE EDUCATION, DECENT
00:15:44HEALTH CARE BECAUSE POVERTY --
POVERTY, IT IS COOL.
00:15:49ONE OUT OF EVERY FOUR KIDS IN
OUR STATE LIVES IN POVERTY.
00:15:54THINK ABOUT THAT.
NOT MUCH TO EAT.
00:15:56NOT GOOD CLOTHING TO WEAR.
COATS FOR KIDS -- KIDS TO HAVE
00:16:04COATS TO BE WARM.
WE ARE GOING TO DO BETTER THAN
00:16:08THAT IN THIS STATE.
>> KASICH, BATCHELDER AND FABER
00:16:10TOOK QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE
ABOUT MUNICIPAL TAX CODE REFORM,
00:16:12WHICH HAS PASSED THE HOUSE BUT
HAS STALLED IN THE SENATE, AND
00:16:22ABOUT CINCINNATI REPUBLICAN BILL
SEITZ' ENERGY STANDARDS BILL,
00:16:24WHICH HAS RAISED SO MANY
CONCERNS THAT HEARINGS ON IT
00:16:26HAVE BEEN PUT ON PAUSE.
THAT BROUGHT THIS COMMENT FROM
00:16:27KASICH.
>> WE SUPPORT EVERYTHING
00:16:36WE SUPPORT COAL, RENEWABLES, YOU
WANT EVERYTHING.
00:16:41YOU CANNOT SET A DATE BY
GOVERNMENT PEOPLE WHO REALLY DO
00:16:46NOT KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT HOW THE
SYSTEM WORKS, AND SAY WE ARE
00:16:48GOING TO BE IN X PLACE.
IT IS LIKE TELLING YOU YOU NEED
00:16:55TO RUN A SEVEN-MINUTE MILE IN
YOUR MARATHON, YOU CANNOT RUN A
00:17:02MARATHON, AND YOU CANNOT RUN A
SEVEN MINUTE MILE IF YOUR LIFE
00:17:05DEPENDED ON THIS.
MY MANDATING THIS, WE PUT PEOPLE
00:17:09IN MANUFACTURING IN A DIFFICULT
POSITION.
00:17:10YOU DRIVE UP THE COST AND PUT
PEOPLE OUT OF WORK.
00:17:13>> AND KASICH ALSO REMARKED ON
THE SEVERANCE TAX PROPOSAL THAT
00:17:16WAS RECENTLY INTRODUCED IN THE
HOUSE, WHICH COULD GENERATE $1.7
00:17:19BILLION DOLLARS OVER TEN YEARS
WITH A 1%TAX ON THE VALUE OF OIL
00:17:20AND GAS FROM EACH HORIZONTAL
WELL IN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF
00:17:24PRODUCTION, WHICH WOULD RISE TO
2% UNTIL PRODUCTION DECLINES.
00:17:31AT THAT POINT IT WOULD DROP BACK
TO 1%.
00:17:35>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS
THEY DEPLETE OUR RESOURCES, THEY
00:17:41PAY FOR IT, OUT-OF-STATE PEOPLE,
AND WHEN WE HAVE THE RESOURCES,
00:17:47WE USE IT TO BENEFIT EVERYONE IN
OHIO AND IT IS IMPORTANT WE GET
00:17:50THAT DONE BECAUSE IT BEGINS TO
SHOW PEOPLE THAT IS CRITICAL WE
00:17:54KEEP THE INDUSTRY.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A
00:17:57REASONABLE SEVERANCE TAX SO THAT
SOMEONE IS NOT THE ONE ON THE
00:18:01BALLOT THAT COULD PASS THIS
STATE THAT COULD BECOME AN
00:18:03IMPEDIMENT TO THE OPERATION OF
THIS LONG-TERM, BUT BELIEVE ME,
00:18:09WHAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT IN
THE LEGISLATURE AND IN THE
00:18:11ADMINISTRATION IS JUST FINE.
IT WOULD BE THE LOWEST SEVERANCE
00:18:15TAX IN THE COUNTRY, AND IT WOULD
STILL BENEFIT EVERYONE.
00:18:18>> KASICH SAID LATER IN A GAGGLE
WITH REPORTERS THAT HE WAS NOT
00:18:22ENDORSING THE PROPOSAL AND THAT
IT IS NOT ENOUGH.
00:18:29KASICH WAS ASKED ABOUT A COMMENT
-- ABOUT EXPANDING ON A PLAN TO
00:18:39MARKET OHIO AFTER JOBSOHIO WOULD
BE EMBARKING ON A CAMPAIGN TO
00:18:47COMBAT A NEGATIVE PUBLIC IMAGE.
>> I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT
00:18:51IS GOING TO WORK.
I TOLD HIM ONE OF THE MOST
00:18:54IMPORTANT THINGS WE NEED TO DO
IS MARKET OUR STATE.
00:18:56YOU FIND IT EVERYWHERE, WHETHER
IT IS NICELY IN CLEVELAND, OR
00:19:06AEP HERE IN COLUMBUS, WHEN
PEOPLE GET TO OHIO, THEY REALIZE
00:19:11THERE IS NO TRAFFIC.
TWO, THE COST OF LIVING IS SO
00:19:16MUCH LOWER HERE THAN IT IS ON
THE COAST, AND EVEN IN PLACES
00:19:19LIKE CHICAGO.
THREE, WE HAVE GREAT SCHOOLS.
00:19:22FOUR, WE HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT
ARE TERRIFIC, BUT THE ISSUE IS
00:19:29HOW DO YOU GET THEM HERE?
WHEN THEY ARE OUT SOMEWHERE ON
00:19:34THE WEST COAST, AND THEY HAVE A
NOTION, HOW -- AND OCEAN, HOW DO
00:19:41YOU TELL PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT WE
HAVE?
00:19:42HOW DO YOU TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE
EXCITING RING AROUND DAYTON?
00:19:48YOU HAVE TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT
THIS BECAUSE ONCE THEY KNOW,
00:19:51THEY WANT TO BE HERE, AND THERE
IS AN ELEMENT OF COOL.
00:19:57THE COOL FACTOR MATTERS.
OVER THE RHINE, DOWN IN
00:20:01CINCINNATI, IT IS COOL.
PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE DOWNTOWN.
00:20:04IN CLEVELAND, YOU CANNOT RENT AN
APARTMENT BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS
00:20:10GONE DOWNTOWN.
I SAID THE REAL ISSUE IS WE HAVE
00:20:13TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THIS
MARKETING.
00:20:14HE SAID LET ME TAKE A WHACK AT
IT, AND I SAID THAT WOULD BE
00:20:20FANTASTIC.
FOR HOW IT IS ALL GOING TO WORK,
00:20:22I CANNOT QUITE TELL YOU, BUT I
AM EXCITED TO HAVE HIM INVOLVED.
00:20:26HE IS A BRILLIANT MARKETER, AND
WE COULD NOT HAVE ANYONE BETTER.
00:20:31HOW IS GOING TO WORK, I DO NOT
KNOW, BUT WE ARE LOOKING
00:20:33FORWARD.
>> KASICH MOVED FROM THAT INTO A
00:20:38DISCUSSION OF A POINT FROM HIS
PRESENTATION ABOUT PAYMENT
00:20:43REFORM, AN EFFORT HE LAUNCHED
QUIETLY LAST YEAR.
00:20:45IN THE SPEECH, HE CALLED IT A
FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN THE WAY
00:20:47PEOPLE WILL BE TREATED, AND ALSO
HE SAID IT WAS A REPUBLICAN
00:20:49ALTERNATIVE TO OBAMACARE THAT
DOES NOT DEAL WITH COSTS.
00:20:52>> WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE HIGH
COST PROVIDERS AND LOW-COST
00:21:00PROVIDERS, AND THE QUALITY
DIFFERENCES ARE NEGLIGIBLE, SO
00:21:03THE QUESTION IS WHY DO WE HAVE
SOME HIGH-COST PROVIDERS AND
00:21:08LOWER COST PROVIDERS, AND WHAT
CAN WE DO TO MOVE THE HIGHER
00:21:10COST PROVIDERS TOWARDS A MORE
EFFICIENT, YET GOOD QUALITY
00:21:16QUESTION WE HAVE HAD MEETINGS
WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES, --
00:21:19QUALITY?
WE HAVE HAD MEETINGS WITH
00:21:25INSURANCE COMPANIES, PROVIDERS,
ALL OF THIS COMING OUT OF THE
00:21:29MEDICAL CORRIDOR WHERE PEOPLE
ARE WORKING TOGETHER.
00:21:31NOW THERE IS GENERAL AGREEMENT
WHERE WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A
00:21:34COUPLE OF AREAS AND TRY THIS
WHOLE BUSINESS OF INVESTING IN
00:21:37VALUE.
SO, IF YOU CAN GET THE PROVIDERS
00:21:40TO SHARE THE SAVINGS OR THE
INSURANCE COMPANIES TO SHARE THE
00:21:45SAVINGS WITH THOSE THAT PROVIDE,
IT IS PRETTY REMARKABLE.
00:21:48THEN YOU CHANGE THE DYNAMIC AWAY
FROM SEA-FOUR-SERVICE, AWAY FROM
00:21:54EPISODIC TREATMENT, AND YOU NOW
START TO CONCENTRATE ON HOW TO
00:22:00KEEP SOMEONE HEALTHY OR GET
SOMEONE HEALTHY WITHOUT HAVING
00:22:02TO HAVE THEM COME BACK INTO THE
HOSPITAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE A
00:22:04PROBLEM WITH, YOU KNOW,
INFECTION OR WHATEVER.
00:22:06THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
FROM THAT, COMES THE ISSUE OF
00:22:12THE EXPLOSION OF MEDICAL
EQUIPMENT, MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY,
00:22:16ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT, BUT THE MINUTE YOU
00:22:18GET PEOPLE TO COOPERATE, AND
THIS IS REALLY HARD.
00:22:22GREG MOODY KEEPS TELLING ME, IT
IS HARD.
00:22:23DO NOT GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW ME, I TRY TO GET AHEAD
00:22:30OF THE MALL.
THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT IDEA.
00:22:32THAT CAN HELP US, IN ORDINATION
WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR, TO HAVE
00:22:38A NEW WAY IN WHICH WE ARE ABOUT
HEALTH CARE COSTS AND MEDICINE
00:22:42IN THE FUTURE.
WE HAVE JOINED A PAYMENT REFORM
00:22:43GROUP.
WE ARE ONE OF TWO STATES UNIT.
00:22:47WE WORK WITH COMPANIES ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.
00:22:49IT IS VERY GOOD.
>> AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT IN THE
00:22:52DAYS BEFORE A BIG ELECTION YEAR
STARTING, DEMOCRATS WEREN'T
00:22:55IMPRESSED WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
COMMENTS.
00:22:57IN WHAT APPEARED TO BE A
COORDINATED SET OF E-MAILS THE
00:22:59AFTERNOON AFTER HIS SPEECH
BEFORE THE CHAMBER, STATEMENTS
00:23:01CAME FROM LEADING DEMOCRATS
INCLUDING JOHN CARNEY OF
00:23:08COLUMBUS, WHO SAYS HE'LL
CHALLENGE REPUBLICAN AUDITOR
00:23:10DAVE YOST NEXT YEAR.
HE WRITES -- "IT IS
00:23:17DISAPPOINTING THAT NONE OF
OHIO'S LEADERS TOOK
00:23:19RESPONSIBILITY TODAY FOR THE
POOR SHAPE OF OUR ECONOMY IN
00:23:20OHIO.
OVER 427,000 OHIOANS ARE OUT OF
00:23:22WORK AND OHIO'S UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE IS WORSE THAN THE NATIONAL
00:23:24AVERAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
THREE YEARS.
00:23:28IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT GOVERNOR
KASICH'S CONTROVERSIAL PROJECT,
00:23:33JOBSOHIO, IS NOT WORKING."
MATT LUNDY OF ELYRIA LASHED OUT
00:23:37ABOUT JOBSOHIO AS WELL, WRITING:
"IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT GOVERNOR
00:23:39KASICH WOULD OVERSELL JOBSOHIO
WHEN WE'RE 44TH IN THE NATION
00:23:41FOR JOB CREATION OVER THE LAST
YEAR.
00:23:47OHIO'S JOB GROWTH HAS TRAILED
THE NATIONAL RATE FOR THE PAST
00:23:4912 MONTHS AND THE SECRECY AT
JOBSOHIO HAS FAILED TO PRODUCE
00:23:56ANY OF THE PROMISED RESULTS."
DEBBIE PHILLIPS OF ATHENS, WHO
00:23:59HAD BEEN SUGGESTED AS A POSSIBLE
CANDIDATE FOR LIEUTENANT
00:24:01GOVERNOR FOR THE DEMOCRATS,
WROTE A SIMILAR STATEMENT THAT
00:24:11READS IN PART, "GOVERNOR KASICH
AND OHIO'S GOP ELECTED OFFICIALS
00:24:13NEED AN ECONOMIC REALITY CHECK.
INSTEAD OF PRIORITIZING
00:24:15MILLIONAIRES AND SPECIAL
INTERESTS, OHIO NEEDS TO GROW
00:24:17OUR ECONOMY BY PUTTING WORKING
AND MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES FIRST.
00:24:24WHAT WE HEARD IS MORE OF THE
SAME FAILED TRICKLE-DOWN
00:24:26POLICIES, WHICH KNOCKED OHIO
BACK DOWN JUST WHEN WE WERE
00:24:28STARTING ON THE ROAD TO
RECOVERY."
00:24:34AND MINORITY LEADER TRACY
MAXWELL HEARD WROTE -- "CUTS TO
00:24:36COMMUNITIES AND TAX BREAKS THAT
FAVOR THE RICH HAVE HURT THE
00:24:38MIDDLE CLASS AND STYMIED OHIO'S
ECONOMIC RECOVERY.
00:24:43WE NEED TO PUT WORKING FAMILIES
FIRST.
00:24:47WE WILL HEAR MORE FROM HEARD,
ALONG WITH SPEAKER BILL
00:24:53BATCHELDER IN TWO WEEKS IN OUR
YEAR END INTERVIEW WITH THE TOP
00:24:55LEADERS IN THE HOUSE.
