It is amazing how “shocked” Rhine McLin, Ted Strickland and others are acting at this decision. We lost IAM’s last week, DHL (Wilmington)last year - NCR is one of a series of MANY companies that have left under the watch of these two. This has been in the works for awhile and neither did anything to stop it. The tax structure in Ohio and Dayton specifically makes it virtually impossible for any business to succeed. Ted campaigned on school finance reform and tax reform. So far he has done nothing to address either of these issues. Gary Leitzell can win the Mayor race and John Kasich can take out Strickland in 2010 if they focus on job loss, company loss, and school reform. It should be no contest but then I never thought Ohio would go for Obama either.
This Buckeye is considering doing what NCR did. Ohio has fallen into the Toilet Bowl Belt.
