An editorial in today's Columbus Dispatch says "Of all issues confronting Ohio Senate members in the state budget bill, one decision should have been easy: keeping Gov.

In this video, Governor Kasich says ... in the four months that Ive been Governor, weve accomplished a lot in Ohio... in all of these efforts the strong support of Americans for Prosperity has made a really big difference. ...its so important that Ohios fighters for freedom, the grassroots leaders of Americans for Prosperity, continue to lend their support to the effort to get Ohio back on track."
