Game Changing Ad Released In Ohio Governors Race

In 2009, John Kasich was paid over $100,000.00 in cash and stock to sit on the board of a company located in Northeast Ohio named InvacareAccording to public records, that compensation included a $40,000.00 retainer, $8,000.00 for attendance at four board meetings, $1,500.00 for attendance at one governance meeting, $2,000.00 for two conference call meetings of the nominating committee that he chaired, and the rest in stock grants.

That information is certainly annoying of course, but here's the kicker.  John Kasich can make that kind of money because he and his fellow board members voted to cut hundreds of jobs here in Ohio and ship them overseas to China.  In fact, Invacare's CEO bragged about it here in this 2008 Cleveland Plain Dealer article.

That's why Governor Ted Strickland released a new ad today that highlights this issue.  I think its going to be a game changer.  Check it out and let me know what you think:
