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.
That’s even better!!!
