I live in Ohio. The taxes and regulations make running a business here simply untennable. Moving as soon as practical to Texas. And I'm not the only one. There is a real "brain drain" of entrepeneurs, businesses, educated people (esp. tech educated), etc. out of the state. Even Honda, a HUGE employer north of Columbus, decided to put their latest mfg facility just over the border in Indiana instead of in Ohio because of the taxes and other BS associated with running a biz in Ohio.

To be fair, Gov. Strickland (D) is FAR better than Gov. ~~Taft~~ Taxt ever was. But that really isn't saying a lot.

PS Buckeye fan forever, but frankly, Ohio State is the only gov't institution in Ohio that is worth anything. We are becoming Michigan (the Detroit parts), and Columbus under Mayor Coleman (D) is leading the way.

Not to pick on Ohio, but I fear you are catching the Pennsylvania disease with the politicians you've been electing lately.

Did you know that Ohio has a land area AND a population very similar to Cuba? Thanks to the politicians you are voting in office, you may soon have an economy similar to Cuba as well.

I live in Ohio too and we have already decided that we will not be able to retire here. With the stupid living wage law that was added to the state constitution in 2006 there is no way that most will be able to live here in a few years.
