January 14, 2011 LIMITED CAPITAL BILL EXPECTED Legislative January 14, 2011 LIMITED CAPITAL BILL EXPECTED Legislative leaders suggested late last week that the next capital appropriations measure is likely to be reduced and possibly absent any funding for community projects. While expected, the development would prove a setback to local government entities and other groups that were hoping for state help to bolster public improvement works. One of the biggest items of unfinished business from the last General Assembly, the bricks-and- mortar bill never got past the planning stages. The Strickland Administration had penciled in a budget of $1.8 billion in bonds for such a bill that could be issued by the state while staying within the 5% constitutional debt limit. In recent capital budgets about $100 million was set aside for local requests, which amounted to only a fraction of the total of the mostly bond-backed measures. Nevertheless, the earmarking scramble always seems to consume much of the legislators' attention in processing the measures, which mostly fund new and ongoing construction and upkeep at state-owned facilities. Due to the economic climate, the general revenue fund portion of recent capital budgets had all but disappeared. With a huge GRF budget crunch looming in the next biennium, and a new legislature stocked with lawmakers who campaigned for reduced government spending and lower taxes, policymakers appear poised to dial back even more in an effort to curb future debt payments. Senate President Tom Niehaus (R-New Richmond) said in an interview that while the matter hadn't been fully discussed with the incoming Administration, he foresaw a minimalist approach to the next capital measure. Mike Dittoe, spokesman for House Speaker Bill Batchelder (R-Medina), said the Speaker and House Finance Chairman Rep. Ron Amstutz (R-Wooster) had a similar take on the issue. Governor John Kasich's spokesman Rob Nichols said the incoming Administration would make a decision on the capital budget following an overall review of state finances. 1 PRIVATIZING DEVELOPMENT AGENCY, TAX INCENTIVES AMONG FIRST BILLS TO EMERGE IN HOUSE The legislative process came to life Tuesday as the House Republican majority unveiled the first bills and outlined new process rules for the 129 th General Assembly. Reflecting Governor John Kasich's plan to convert the Department of Development into a non-profit entity, the Republicans reserved House Bill 1 as a placeholder for his proposed JobsOhio initiative. Speaker Bill Batchelder (R-Medina) said he believed the actual bill language would be drafted as early as next week. Top priorities for the Republican House, aside from the JobsOhio measure (HB 1), include proposals to require state agency performance audits (HB 2) and to repeal the estate tax (HB 3). Among the House's other introductions are measures that would: • Increase the sales tax prompt remittance discount and create a similar discount for income tax withholdings (HB 8). • Create refundable tax credits to remediate a contaminated site and exempt Voluntary Action Program participants from certain fees and penalties for one year after the issuance of a covenant not to sue (HB 10). • Prohibit state agencies from implementing or enforcing a provision of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act without meeting certain conditions (HB 11). • Direct the Department of Job and Family Services to seek federal approval to create a Medicaid premium assistance component (HB 13). • Authorize a $2,400 income tax withholding credit for employers that hire a previously unemployed individual (HB 17). • Create a nonrefundable tax credit for a business that increases payroll and expands into a vacant facility (HB 19). Some of the Republican caucus' bills that would cost money, such as tax incentive proposals, might pass the House with the knowledge that they would likely not clear the Senate, Speaker Batchelder said. "At this time, of course, we don't have the Governor's budget and it's totally unfair to him for us to start spending money that we may not have. So that will be very much in our minds," he said. KASICH, REPUBLICANS ASSUME STATEWIDE OFFICES The weekend saw the transition of statewide offices as Republicans were sworn in following their November victories, capped by the swearing-in of Governor John Kasich on Monday afternoon. While the new Governor offered little in specifics in his inaugural address about either how the new Administration will deal the state’s unemployment or a projected shortfall of $8 billion to $10 billion in the next budget, he told the audience to “Get ready for an exciting time. Put on the seat belt because we’re going.” 2 Also taking oaths of office over the weekend and into Monday included Lt. Governor Mary Taylor, Attorney General Mike DeWine, Secretary of State Jon Husted, Auditor Dave Yost, and Treasurer Josh Mandel. KASICH ADMINISTRATION CABINET APPOINTMENTS CONTINUE; KEY STAFF NAMED Governor Kasich continued his appointment of cabinet officials this week, including the announcement that his Lt. Governor, Mary Taylor, would head the Ohio Department of Insurance. At the same time the Lt. Governor has been charged to head a drive among state agencies to eliminate state regulations that prove “stifling to job creation.” Over the weekend Kasich nominated former Senator David Goodman to head the Department of Commerce and retained Christine Money as Department of Youth Services Director. Goodman worked closely with the Department of Commerce on a number of issues during his legislative tenure, while Ms. Money has served as Interim Director at DYS since May and as warden of three correctional facilities earlier in her career. Gov. John Kasich used his second executive order Thursday to create a new office charged with consolidation and cost savings in the state's $13 billion annual Medicaid program. The new Office of Health Transformation will be headed by Greg Moody, a former Taft Administration official who has served as senior consultant for Health Management Associates for the last six years. Also on Thursday, Mr. Kasich named John McCarthy, currently the Medicaid director for the District of Columbia, to serve as Ohio's Medicaid director. Dr. Theodore Wymyslo, a longtime medical educator and administrator who worked at Miami Valley Hospital for 18 years, will serve as director of the Department of Health, the Governor announced. Dr. Bonnie Kantor-Burman, formerly the head of the Office of Geriatrics and Gerontology at the Ohio State University Health Sciences Center, was named to lead the Department of Aging. Perhaps the most intriguing appointment came as Governor Kasich named Mark Kvamme, a partner at Sequoia Capital, to head the Department of Development temporarily and help the Administration transform the agency into a private, non-profit corporation. Sequoia Capital is a private equity and venture capital firm in Silicon Valley which had helped provide early funding for a number of successful high-tech companies, such as Google, YouTube, and PayPal. Mr. Kvamme said he agreed a six month leave of absence from Sequoia Capital to serve in the Administration for which he will be paid $1. In addition, Kasich announced a number of top staff members in his office including: • Director of Legislative Affairs: Matt Carle. He is a former state legislative candidate who worked as Director of Development and Community Relations for the Ohio College Access Network (OCAN) and as a real estate development and zoning lawyer. • Senior Advisor to the Governor: Jai Chabria. A former official at Schottenstein Property Group, Lehman Brothers and Barclays Capital, Mr. Chabria will oversee gubernatorial appointments and state agency personnel. He will also work on the transition of the Ohio Department of Development to JobsOhio. 3 • Cabinet Secretary: Tracy Intihar. Ms. Intihar will work with agency directors on policy initiatives and agency programs. She previously ran her own consulting firm and was a top aide to two former Ohio House speakers. • Deputy Director For Policy: Ben Kanzeg. Mr. Kanzeg will work on policy initiatives and assist with the Governor's agenda. He was a policy leader on the campaign and worked as an aide to Mr. Kasich and U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi. • Chief Counsel: Mike Grodhaus. Mr. Grodhaus is a former private practice attorney who also served as first assistant attorney general and chief legal counsel in the State Auditor's office. • Director of Public Liaison: Mike Hartley. He will be responsible for efforts to engage Ohioans in state government. Mr. Hartley was deputy manager of the campaign and has significant campaign experience over the last decade. • Director of Communications: Scott Milburn. Mr. Milburn held the same role with the campaign and held top-level communications posts in the White House, with former U.S. Sen. George Voinovich and former Gov. Bob Taft. • Press Secretary: Rob Nichols. Mr. Nichols held the same position in the campaign and with former U.S. Rep. Deborah Pryce. • Director of Boards and Commissions: Jeff Polesovsky will advise the Governor on appointments to boards and commissions and oversee the appointment process. The campaign's political director, he earlier worked as executive director of Recharge Ohio. LEGISLATIVE MEMBERS APPOINTED TO VACANT SEATS; HOUSE ANNOUNCES COMMITTEE CHAIRS Appointments A number of legislative vacancies were remedied this week, as the caucuses moved to fill seats left open by the election victories and cabinet appointments. In the Senate, the Republican caucus chose Representative Cliff Hite to fill the seat of Senator Steve Buehrer and Representative Peggy Lehner was appointed to Senator Jon Husted’s seat. Larry Obhof Jr., of Montville Township in Medina County, will now Congressman Bob Gibbs unexpired term, which ends in 2012. The caucus said Mr. Obhof currently works at the Cleveland office of Baker & Hostetler LLP and is an adjunct professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, where he teaches courses on legislation.

  • December 12, 2016 131ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY ENDS LAME DUCK
    December 12, 2016 131ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY ENDS LAME DUCK SESSION WITH SEVERAL MUNICIPAL ISSUES ADDRESSED The lame duck session ended Friday morning at about 3:30 am and as the dust settled, we’re proud to report that Ohio municipalities were able to claim a number of victories, a few draws, and only a limited number of losses. Now, we immediately turn our agenda to the next General Assembly, with the release of our first broad based policy report tomorrow. We would like to express our gratitude toward the many members of the General Assembly who worked with us on these many issues. Many members worked with us late into the night many times and worked hard to consider our concerns. Below, we review the legislation that effected municipalities in the final days of the session. Each of the following bills has been sent to Governor Kasich for his consideration. First, is Senate Bill 331, introduced by Senator Bob Peterson (R-Washington Court House). The original bill would regulate the sale of dogs from pet stores and dog retailers and to require the Director of Agriculture to license pet stores. This bill was introduced to create a statewide regulatory framework for pet breeding. The OML opposed this portion of the bill as an infringement on Home Rule and “single issue rule” problems which is the part of the Ohio Constitution that prohibits the legislature from passing bills with multiple subjects. This bill became a “Christmas tree bill” where numerous amendments were added, including language from AT&T on the 5G roll out Amendment 1: As mentioned above and as many of our members are aware, the House Finance committee amended the bill to create new regulations concerning micro wireless facility operators for their use of municipally owned land.

  • 2018 Primary Election Results Analysis OAEPS | Baldwin Wallace
    ANOTHER “YEAR OF THE WOMAN?” WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE IN OHIO IN THE 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS BARBARA PALMER Professor of Political Science Department of Politics and Global Citizenship Executive Director & Creator, Center for Women & Politics of Ohio Baldwin Wallace University Berea, OH [email protected] Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Ohio Association of Economists and Political Scientists, Capitol University, Columbus OH, September, 2018 1 ANOTHER “YEAR OF THE WOMAN?” WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE IN OHIO IN THE 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS1 The 2018 midterm election has been commonly referred to as another “Year of the Woman.” There is already a great deal of evidence that this election cycle will be a record year for female candidates. For example, in Georgia, Stacey Abrams defeated another woman, Stacey Evans, to win the Democratic primary for governor; Abrams is the first African American woman to ever be a major-party nominee for governor in US history. In addition, a record number of women have filed to run for US House (“2018 Summary”). Women are opening their pocket books in record numbers: in 2014, the last midterm election, 198,000 women contributed $200 or more to a federal campaign or political action committee. By July of 2018, three months before the midterm election, 329,000 women had contributed, and they were contributing to female candidates (Bump, 2018). As one political commentator explained, “As the midterms near, there are signs that an energized base of women will play a significant — and probably defining — role in the outcome” (Bump, 2018). This paper will explore the trends in women running for public office in Ohio; more specifically, are we seeing an increase in the number of women running for US Congress, state legislature, governor and other state-wide offices? In 1992, the original “Year of the Woman,” we saw a spike in the number of female candidates across the nation at the state and national level.

  • 2014 Election Review + What's Next for Ohio
    Electi2014 on RECAP Election Review + What’s Next for Ohio The anticipation for Election Day finally peaked and now the aftermath of the poll results is starting to sink in across the state. While it may be clear who the winners are, there is still much more to uncover as Ohio prepares for what is to come in the next four years. This Election Review provides insights into what the results really mean for Ohio, what issues are left and what could be on the ballot in 2016. Election Review + What’s Next for Ohio We’re Going to Campaign like it’s 2018! by Steve Tugend Last night, when all of the Republican statewide officeholders were declared victors in their reelection bids, the 2018 gubernatorial race quietly began. Thanks to Article III Section 2 of the Ohio Constitution, not only is Governor John Kasich unable to run for a third term, but his statewide colleagues, Mike DeWine, John Husted, Dave Yost, Mary Taylor and Josh Mandel, will be unable to seek an additional term in their current positions in the 2018 election. While Yost, a former county prosecutor, is expected to seek the attorney general’s position in that year, there could be a crowded GOP field vying for governor in the 2018 election. Husted, DeWine, Mandel and Taylor could all enter the race. However, one of these four may opt to run against Senator Sherrod Brown that year. Matt Borges, the Chair of the Ohio Republican Party, is likely to lose sleep worrying about avoiding a repeat of the 2006 gubernatorial race debacle where Jim Petro and Ken Blackwell collided in a vicious primary battle that resulted in Democrat Ted Strickland clobbering the Republican nominee and the GOP statewide ticket winning only a solitary seat thanks to Mary Taylor.

  • Ohio Legislators with ALEC Ties
    Nick Teti Testimony 1-29-2020 SB 33 To the Honorable Chairman Jamie Callender and Members of the Public Utilities Committee, I am an Ohio citizen who has testified and attended meetings five times before the Senate and House on the issue of SB 33 over the past couple of years. My round trip to Columbus is two hundred miles. I spent a good deal of time researching and composing my testimony. I have no regrets about the time and effort I have invested in having my voice heard on this legislation. I feel privileged to be a part of a nation that gives me the right to share my opinions and ideas with my lawmakers. My participation in the legislative process, however, has opened my eyes to a troubling paradigm has taken root in the Ohio Legislature. SB 33 falls into the pattern of much of our current legislation. Legislation is introduced at secret meetings to key legislators representing states across the nation. It is then carried to state legislatures and shepherded through the committees by corporate lobbyists and politicians influenced by large campaign contributions. In order to get reelected our lawmakers must acquiesce to promoting the drafted legislation or face well-funded corporate challengers and hostile political ads in their next primary election contest. The distribution and support for this autocratic boardroom agenda is carried out by a coordinated group of organizations known collectively as the State Policy Networks. The coordinating entity behind all of this legislation by proxy, payoffs to lawmakers, and distorting public perception of issues and candidates with unlimited spending is the American Legislative Exchange Council, (ALEC), an industry lobbying front group that gets away with masquerading as a 501c3 charity.
