From a press release released today:
Columbus โ Last night, the Kasich/Taylor for Ohio campaign began airing a new positive TV ad entitled โA New Wayโ in select markets across Ohio. From the Camp Washington Chili Diner located in Cincinnati, John Kasich lays out his approach to fixing Ohioโs massive budget problems. Instead of raising taxes on Ohioans to feed a bloated, inefficient bureaucracy, John says that he and Mary will reduce the size of government, and make it more efficient and more effective.
The new ad can be viewed here: http://KasichForOhio.com/NewWay
TRANSCRIPT: Kasich seated among patrons in diner alongside Mary Taylor.
KASICH:
Ohio, in this last year, found itself with a big hole in the budget.
You canโt raise taxes in Ohio.
Weโre one of the highest taxed states in the country.
The same way if you raise prices in a restaurant, you drive customers awayโฆ you raise prices in the state you drive taxpayers away.
So, in order to fix it, you know, Mary and I are committed to smaller, more effective, more efficient government. Letting people have more money in their pocket.
Weโre going to get the job done for the people of this state, and weโre not going to let you down.
