It's in the Other Paper story linked to the post from here I posted the link to.<br /><br />Kasich's flying to make staff announcements. But that's not a waste? LOL.<br /><br />If you're trying to justify this as Kasich selling his agenda, then it's even more wasteful because Kasich's sales job isn't working for Mr. 30% Job Approval rating.<br /><br />Ohio last year had twice the job creation rate as Indiana and most the rest of the nation. Thirteen straight months of dropping unemployment. The best economic recovery for the State since the one in 1983.<br /><br />If Ted Strickland didn't do anything, then why does John Kasich keep taking credit for the things Ted did (preserve the tax cut, Goodyear, federal approval of Medicaid EHRs reform?)Modernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096376710345315767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-10237417618180480672011-04-21T19:36:55.829-04:002011-04-21T19:36:55.829-04:00lol, Modern being a liar again.
The issue of Stri...lol, Modern being a liar again.<br /><br />The issue of Strickland's use of the plane was that it flew literally one 3 minute empty flight after another costing the state THOUSANDS because he did not want to drive an extra 15 minutes. <br /><br />ted did not fly as much because he did not have an agenda to sell. He was an empty suite, loser, shell of a man who failed to lead a single day he was in office. <br /><br />Good riddance.Henry Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723946966696087696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-47554482208452730612011-04-21T16:20:27.039-04:002011-04-21T16:20:27.039-04:00Modern, you have missed the point in the year old ...Modern, you have missed the point in the year old post. Each of Stricklands 24 flights included TWO "empty" short hops... One from KOSU (where the plane is parked) to KCMH to pick up the guv... and then a second empty flight from KCMH to KOSU after the guv was dropped off. <br /><br />That's 48 short, empty flights.<br /><br />I believe the post was taking exception to the governor having the plane make all those extra empty trips.

Here I thought it represented poison.<br /><br />But then I'm in Cuyahoga Co where the Dems turn out to be rather poisonous by undermining the auditor's office and local school boards. Who knows how many scales, property values, "hunting lodges", etc. have been compromised by their actions. Redfern sits and watches and does nothing. He couldn't care any less about Ohio. From what I have read he has brought nothing constructive to any conversation. He's out for himself alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
