If they vote it down than they can raise their taxes to support it

If we vote it down, they are saying that there will be big layoffs of state employees to support it....silver lining I suppose.

That's the side of the coin the union thugs are ignoring. There is only so much budget money to be had. The size of the pie is fixed. If the unions drive up the cost per employee, there will be fewer employees. Simple arithmetic, but obviously beyond the grasp of the 'Rats, the union thugs, and the idiot voters.

Here's what Kasich should do. Number 1, state unequivocally that state taxes will not be raised. If the costs per employee are driven up by union demands, then personnel cuts will have to be made. The minute it is clear the issue is voted down, put out the word to all state agencies to plan for a 10% cut in personnel, and then hold a press conference and say that this is the result of defeating Issue 2. Likewise cut state aid to local governments by 10%. Make a similar case for this being the result of defeating Issue 2. Let the sheeple, the union thugs, and the 'Rats understand that elections have consequences. They voted for the cuts by defeating Issue 2. Let them live with it.
