JEFF WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH THE DECISION TO UTILIZE STRATEGIC INSIGHT GROUP. THE TRANSACTION WAS AT MARKET RATE. 0 PART III, LINE 1 OHIO MUST BE A PLACE WHERE AVERAGE CITIZENS CAN ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS, RAISE A FAMILY AND PROSPER. BUT TO DO THAT, OHIO MUST CONTINUE TO HAVE LEADERS WHO ARE FRIENDLY TO ECONOMIC GROWTH AND WHO ARE WILLING TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS TO LOWER THE ECONOMIC BURDEN ON THE TAX PAYERS, KEEP GOVERNMENT SPENDING UNDER CONTROL, AND FOCUS ON CREATING JOBS INSTEAD OF GROWING GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY. WE ONLY NEED LOOK AT THE HEADLINES FROM WASHINGTON TO SEE THE CONSEQUENCES OF BAD POLICYMAKING. UNFORTUNATELY, SOME IN OHIO WOULD HAVE STATE GOVERNMENT PURSUE WASHINGTON-LIKE "SOLUTIONS" OF HIGHER TAXES AND HIGHER SPENDING-AND WHETHER FROM PARTISAN OR POLICY MOTIVES, HAVE CHOSEN TO ATTACK THOSE WHO BELIEVE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LIVE WITHIN ITS MEANS AND FOCUS ON GROWING JOBS NOT GOVERNMENT. RENEW OHIO HAS BEEN FORMED TO SET THAT RECORD STRAIGHT AND PROMOTE GOOD DECISIONS. RENEW OHIO BELIEVES THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INDEPENDENT VOICE SUPPORTING WISE POLICYMAKING BY STATE LEADERS. TO FURTHER THAT GOAL, RENEW OHIO WILL EDUCATE OHIOANS ON NEEDED REFORM AND WILL PRAISE THOSE WHO PURSUE IT AND CRITICIZE THOSE WHO DO NOT. OUR HOPE IS THAT THE WORK OF RENEW OHIO WILL ENCOURAGE ALL STATE LEADERS REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS TO IMPROVE OHIO'S FUTURE.
