Ohio Governor Rethinking Plan

Governor Ted Strickland is feeling as though he could have done a few things better these days when it comes to slot machines. Strickland said that he felt that he had made a mistake when it came to the slot machines, but was not sure how to help his state without them. Strickland said that it was a difficult year but that he will be running for re-election in the upcoming year.

Strickland had been very opposed to slot machines and had run on an anti slot machine ticket for election. The people of Ohio voted him in for several reasons, but the fact that he did not want slot machines was one of them. Then he changed his mind and said that he was pushing for slot machines after all and many were confused as to who they had elected to office.

The governor was looking at a collapsed economy and record high unemployment numbers and said that he thought that the slot machines might be the way for them to get out of the hole that they were in. He sad that he reversed his stance on slot machines based on their budget problems and the fact that he did not want to cut education or other necessary programs within the state.

However, the Ohio Supreme Court over rode the governor’s decision and said that if he wanted slot machines the people of Ohio were going to have to vote them in. He said that without the slot machines he could not cut taxes the way that he had wanted to, and so he froze the reduction that was due for this year instead. He said those people who didn’t want slot machines are mad at him and so are the people who wanted their property cuts. One of them had to give in and as neither did, one lost and one won.
