JobsOhio Takes Winning Stride
Governor Kasich and his jobs czar, Mark Kvamme, have hit the ground running in 2012 on their JobsOhio agenda. During a press conference yesterday, details of the funding and reporting structure were unveiled, and the measure is set to go for a hearing before the Ohio Controlling Board next Monday, a crucial step toward becoming a reality.
Under the new organization, Ohio liquor profits – an estimated $100 million per year – will flow to JobsOhio for the next 25 years. According to Mr. Kvamme, “a 25-year lease was integral” to the success of the program.
In any case, JobsOhio represents a bold step forward for Ohio, and a chance to reinvigorate our great state’s economy by innovating at the highest level.
