We already know that John Kasich is, as a matter of principle, adamantly opposed to any form of state tax increase. Now he's told leaders of local governments that they too should resist any urge to hike local taxes, even though his state budget cuts local funding by 25%. Yesterday, he said that "raising taxes at the local level is not an option." (Of course, local decisions are none of Kasich's fucking business, but that doesn't matter to him.)
King John "challenged" local leaders to hold the line on taxes, and said passage of union-crushing SB 5 should help them. "This was designed," he said, "to give local people a chance to deal with [it]."
Wow! Thanks for giving us such a great "chance". It's regular golden opportunity. Rah-rah, dude.
Kasich governs like he's running a high-pressure sales meeting. Reminds me of Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross: "We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. First prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."
