“Today I’m announcing my opposition to Issue 6. I continue to believe that this is simply not the right economic development strategy for our state. I strongly believe that this measure would not be in the best interests of Ohio families or our state as a whole.”
What exactly is "right economic development strategy for our state", Governor? Keno?
I'm not a big fan of these casino issues. For me, each one of these ballot initiatives have become nothing more than a creation of a real estate cartel.
None the less, I don't think this state is in the current position of picking and choosing the "right" companies for economic development strategy. The state has a horrible reputation for being anti business. In addition, the state of Ohio has little, if nothing, to offer companies looking to set up businesses for profit when other states offer so much more. What's the saying? "beggars can't be choosy".
Part of employing the "right economic development strategy for our state" is to acknowledge that all business activity is good.
But I guess for Governor Ted, the "right economic development strategy for our state" has to include high taxes, ridiculous bureaucracy, and a bad pool of potential employees from a miserable education system.
I guess we just need to sit and wait around for the good times to kick in any day now.
