Gov. Kasich signs JobsOhio bill
TweetCOLUMBUS (AP) — Gov. John Kasich has signed a bill that’s key to a campaign promise he made to transfer the state’s job-creation functions to a semi-private, nonprofit corporation.
The bill sets up a framework for JobsOhio and its nine-member board that Kasich would chair and pick. It directs the Department of Development’s interim director, Mark Kvamme, to see what agency duties could go to JobsOhio.
Kasich says he will appoint Kvamme to the JobsOhio board.
The legislation zipped through the GOP-controlled Ohio Legislature this week. It won bipartisan support in the Senate after lawmakers changed it to address concerns about ethics and public access. Most House Democrats said those revisions didn’t go far enough.
Many public records, open meetings and ethics laws would not apply to the entity.

Kasich will ruin our state.
BIG SMILE . BIG SMILE
let's see now, a board that he will chair, for which he will pick the members and where many public records, open meetings and ethics laws would not apply. that way if they don't succeed in creating new jobs no one will know why? nice. nothing like stacking the deck.
yeah lets see how many of his buddies he'll appoint, as well as what kind of jobs they'll create definately will not be good paying jobs that will be created only good paying job created will be the ones that get appointed by kasich. why do i say this because he is also trying to take collective bargaining from public workers(hope his daughter doesnt want to teach or work in a public office because she'll prob. will be working for $8/hr lol) you people voted this wackadoo in and you got him now. and dont say i didnt know he was going to do this?
