60% approve of oil and gas tax hike and reduction in income taxes.

Ohioans are more optimistic about how things are going than they have been for five years.
49% say Kasich is unfair on how he handles the budget (40% believe he is fair) and no reference for the 11%.
44% gave Kasic low marks for performance in office vs 41% in March.
There are five positive comments from those surveyed vs 2 negative comments, one of which is about how he handles the budget.
When limited by the facts provided by the reporter, I don't understand the conclusion that voters are not so keen on Kasich. Report that the voters, less than a majority, do not like the way he handles the budget.
If someone is suffering from chronic pain they are visiting their primary care doctor, or are under the supervision of a hospital's pain management department.
I have been through situations where the primary care doctor is not available, and had the ER not been able to offer some relief the condition would be debilitating.
It does not appear a solution that serves all constituencies has been considered. How about this, registration in a statewide database that shows the patient is under a physicians care. Require frequent renewal of the registration by the primary care physician. It does not have to be hard and complicated, just easy and simple.
For the last twenty years Bob Hagen has preyed on the less fortunate with promises of an improved life if they only cast their vote his way.
The less fortunate do not understand that the elementary school teacher has a greater chance of improving a life than a politician, even one that knows what they are doing.
First of all, we need to start with the unembellished truth. Your comments surrounding safety issues are over the top.
Contrary to your statement, the process does not call for the dumping of 2-6 million gallons of toxic fluid. There are some toxic fluids in the 2-6 million gallons of water used in the fracking process. That is a big difference.
If you want to have a voice start by providing facts.
Think there are any republicans running for office as a democrat? Think there are any republicans registered as democrats?
The Valley's political stature among the broader electorate is marginal. Our elections will not have a material influence on the state or the nation.
Our political parties can have some statewide influence, particularly with the elequent and well crafted text messages our leaders use to influence elections (all well intentioned I am sure.)
I cannot believe you use your limited space and words to to identify a long standing truth in the Mahoning Valley. Is this really the most important issue for the Valley's voters?
"But, you don't have the right to deny others access to it because it is against your beliefs."
The Catholic Church is not denying access to anyone for any reason. The Catholic Church does not believe that anyone should be foreced to pay for something they find objectionable. If the government wants everyone to have equal access, let the government pay for it without the employer or its insurance company.
You replace a requirement to provide contraceptive or abortive services with euthenasia services?
Patient choice is abandoned in favor of governemnt choice to determine approved procedures?
If the expected national healthcare system prohibits life sustaining procedures due to cost benefit concerns.
Now how do you feel about the Federal Government mandating insurance requirements?
It is not hypocritical to use birth contral but be against a requirement that birth control must be provided. To the point of silliness, I can be against the government providing food stamps, and still consume food, and not be hypocritical. (For the record, I am not against food stamps, I am against the abuse of the program.)
Mandates should be used in few scenarios and judiciously. Sustaining the behavior for some to have sex without consequence (pregnancy) is not a right. Requiring either individual or institution to support such a scenario is an abuse of power for political gain. It is for political gain since the administration was so quick to back down from this position.
Listen carefully about the character of this president. He was willing to trample on our freedom, religious or otherwise, and unwilling to fight for it when it became apparent it was a political mistake He is not fighting for right and wrong, he is fighting for winning and losing.
This is a character trait we don't need in the White House.

At some point, the team needs to learn that while it is a team effort... you play to win. Hard lesson for some individuals, but not for the team.

Will either the Pittsburgh Pirates or the Cleveland Indians make the playoffs this season?
This is a serious question, who cares if the Indians can't ice skate as long as the Pirates can hit the three pointers.

An invitation to think for a moment.
What if....
You replace a requirement to provide contraceptive or abortive services with euthenasia services?
Patient choice is abandoned in favor of governemnt choice to determine approved procedures?
If the expected national healthcare system prohibits life sustaining procedures due to cost benefit concerns.
Now how do you feel about the Federal Government mandating insurance requirements?
