Ken Blackwell is the Republican nominee for Governor in Ohio.
The Ohio economy ranks 47th in the U.S. in job creation.
Government spending in Ohio has risen 20% faster than personal income over the last 10 years. Taxes are high, third highest in the country according to the Tax Foundation. And the city schools stink.
Republicans run the state and besides doing it poorly, they seem to do it illegally. Workers Comp invested $50 million in a rare coin scheme through a Republican coin dealer who has since been indicted on 53 felony counts.
The rap on Blackwell is that he's different. The fact that powerbrokers here consider that to be a problem may be Ohio's problem.

Yeah well Chip, The Beacon Journal in the last 10 years has lost 60% of it's content and yet costs twice as much. Does that mean the Beacon stinks or should we try for a more charitable and constructive overview of the situation ?
