The grumbling about Kasich that I hear from Ohio is that he slashed local budgets (city/municipality/county) to make his state budget work.

That’s really down to the roots of the grassroots. Not sure of the numbers of that, just saying that’s the scuttlebutt. Take it for what it’s worth.

“The grumbling about Kasich that I hear from Ohio is that he slashed local budgets (city/municipality/county) to make his state budget work.”

How can a governor “slash” city/county budgets? Does he sit on their city councils?

The grumbling about local budgets is true. All of the cuts Kasich talks about? They're in items that went to local budgets. And that situation about bringing in Amazon? Now because of that we have to pay sales tax on Amazon purchases....all to the black hole of a state budget.

He has been terrible for local budgets, and loves government programs. But I don't think he's evil.

I do know first hand that every teacher in Ohio hates Kasich. Not sure what he did, but I know the results is absolute hatred for the man.
