Says Gov. John Kasich incorrectly claimed Ohio’s economy was 38th in the nation when he took office. "We were sixth in the nation in terms of economic job growth."
"Kasich’s trade deals cost Ohio thousands of jobs - 49,000 jobs to Mexico, 91,000 to China."
About $4.89 billion in one-time money was used to balance the current state general revenue fund budget.
"In Ohio, we invested in our children, raising school funding by 5.5 percent in the last budget."
