00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 2>make it a good place to live and get the

<v Speaker 2>a pleasure to have you on again.

<v Speaker 4>It's good to be here.

33
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 2>State of the State last night, highlighting what Governor Dowy

34
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>wants to accomplish, and I guess what he has accomplished.

35
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 2>He noted there are more to eighty one thousand private

36
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 2>sector jobs have been added, which is a great thing.

37
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Couple of businesses he highlighted. He had some I think

38
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 2>some excellent points on education, like notably phonics, bringing back

39
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>phonics and getting cell phones out of schools, which I

40
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 2>guess the state law is going to require that school

41
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>districts have an anti cell phone policy in place at

42
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>least by July of this year. That can only do

43
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 2>good for the students who are so distracted these days.

44
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>What was your take on the state of the state.

45
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think.

46
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 5>Once again, you know, it's an opportunity to kind of

47
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 5>reflect on the accomplishments over the last two years, set

48
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 5>some priorities for the legislature as they you know, are

49
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 5>getting to the halfway.

50
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 4>Point in that in that process.

51
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 5>And you know what I think we saw from Governor

52
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 5>one on this was he's focused on pointing to the

53
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 5>right issues, right education, families, workforce, jobs, opportunity. What we

54
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 5>have to caution though, Brian, as you as you well know,

55
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 5>and I've been on the show many times talking about it,

56
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 5>is what government's role is in those things and making

57
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 5>sure that we're you know, what we're doing for creating

58
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 5>an environment where folks can thrive and succeed and we

59
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 5>can be the number one state of the nation, but

60
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 5>doing it through freedom and limited government. So that's always

61
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 5>the thing you got to be listening out for all

62
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 5>in these speeches is wait, what what what are what

63
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 5>is the executive asking for now? What kind of power

64
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Speaker 5>they asking for from the legislature as they talk about

65
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 5>these priorities and initiatives.

66
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, some of the things are like common sense, like

67
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 2>bringing more Civics education, in teaching the basic life skills,

68
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I remember a home economics class. I thought that was great,

69
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>But budgeting things like that, that isn't that local school

70
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>board based decision making and built the school boards to

71
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>make those determinations.

72
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think minderstanding is you've got a lot of

73
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 5>different requirements coming from the state and the federal government.

74
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 5>I think what we should be doing, yeah, is prioritizing

75
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 5>some of those things and then also making sure when

76
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 5>we're talking about education, we're really focused on the stuff

77
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 5>that are going to set folks up for success. Right

78
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 5>the core essentials reading, writing, arithmetic, which I know Governor

79
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 5>de Wines put a heavy emphasis on making sure students

80
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 5>are equipped to read, and we've got some good indicators

81
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 5>of that. But yeah, life skills like budgeting, I think

82
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 5>that's really important in making sure folks understand how to

83
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 5>live their lives.

84
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 4>They once they get out of school.

85
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>That's important.

86
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Judge, just ask well, are elected officials take those classes first?

87
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Budgeting most notably Strecker You correct me, Now, you did

88
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>a poll the folks reaction on the state of the state.

89
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I understand, well, this was a pre state of the

90
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:20.759
<v Speaker 1>state pole.

91
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.040
<v Speaker 5>We wanted to get our finger on the polls where

92
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 5>Ohio voters are, so we could kind of, you know,

93
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 5>deliver that map. We want to deliver that message to

94
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 5>the legislation and say, hey, here's what you're hearing from Governor,

95
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 5>here's what you're you know, you guys are talking about,

96
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 5>how does the lineup with actually where voters are and

97
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 5>what they want to see y'all do with the two

98
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 5>hundred and eleven billion dollars you're going to be spending

99
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:40.480
<v Speaker 5>over the next two years.

100
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>All Right, we'll let that set up for the next

101
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 2>segment where we'll see if Dwine's comments in the state

102
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 2>of the state align with what Air Americans for Prosperity

103
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>polls said that folks want. That's a great I like

104
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.759
<v Speaker 2>the order of things along those lines. We'll see, we'll

105
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 2>see how that went. We'll pause for a moment. It's

106
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 2>seven thirty five right now, so I can mention and

<v Speaker 3>New Richmond exit. Construction blocks the right lane. Now an

154
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.240
<v Speaker 3>accident on the left shoulder. Chuck Ing from on fifty

155
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 3>five k See the talk station seven here fifty five

156
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.319
<v Speaker 3>KRCD talk station. A very happy Thursday to you, Senator

157
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 3>Bill Blessing. At the top of the ur news talk

158
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 3>about property taxes, which we all are upset about. In

159
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 3>the meantime, Donovan and Neil for Americans for Prosperity talking

160
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 3>about the state of the state. So you did a

161
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 3>poll in advance of the state of the state, and

162
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 3>as I gravitated to some of the comments that Governor

163
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 3>to I mentioned about education, which appealed to me. Apparently

164
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 3>addressing education was one of the right things to do

165
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 3>because that was really important to the folks you polled.

166
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, over over seventy five percent of Ohio voters said

167
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 5>that they want and it's a very or extremely important

168
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 5>combined to address education here in the state of Ohio.

169
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 5>And I think we you know, something that we had

170
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 5>seen coming out of COVID, right, his parents were better

171
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.839
<v Speaker 5>connect with their kids' education or saw their.

172
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 1>Kids not being educated because they shut the school down.

173
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 5>This continues to be an issue that folks want to

174
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:11.079
<v Speaker 5>see a result.

175
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:12.879
<v Speaker 4>And I think you've got a mix of folks who

176
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 4>care about.

177
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 5>It from the academic and what we're being taught perspective

178
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 5>right in choice. But then you've also got it, I

179
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:22.839
<v Speaker 5>think from the folks who want to know they're getting

180
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 5>value and the talking about property taxes, the property taxes

181
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.519
<v Speaker 5>they're paying to go to fund the schools and education.

182
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 5>And so we really hope all makers pay attention here

183
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:38.919
<v Speaker 5>and work to address some of those challenges of which

184
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.879
<v Speaker 5>we also had voters care about in terms of education flexibility.

185
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Brian, Yeah, And I don't know did Governor to Wine

186
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 2>say anything about that school choice, flexibility, options for parents

187
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 2>to send their children.

188
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Not that I caught.

189
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 5>Unfortunately last State of the State he did, and that

190
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 5>actually really helped supercharge the conversation. So I didn't catch

191
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 5>anything like that in his comments yesterday.

192
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, that seems a lost opportunity because I think, you know,

193
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>education choice I think resonates with people of all political stripes,

194
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.039
<v Speaker 2>and unless you remember the teachers unit and think your

195
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.320
<v Speaker 2>job's at stake or something, you know, if you are

196
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 2>a state that offers this that is a magnet for

197
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 2>families considering places to live. It's just one more, you know,

198
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.919
<v Speaker 2>piece of the puzzle to make Ohio an in demand

199
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.360
<v Speaker 2>state as opposed to something that's completely overlooked.

200
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh totally, and that's why Yes, So sixty eight percent

201
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 5>of the voters we pulled on this question support education flexibility.

202
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 5>And what that means, right, is it's not just money

203
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 5>following the child. It's the ability to go to the

204
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 5>school that's going to best meet that kids needs. Are

205
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.519
<v Speaker 5>access to the resources that's going to help, you know,

206
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 5>maybe close a learning loss gap that the child might have.

207
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.480
<v Speaker 5>And so increasing policy passing policies that are going to

208
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 5>increase education flexibility are incredibly critical and it's something that

209
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 5>voters are wanting.

210
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 2>And I think something else I don't think he addressed,

211
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>but it's energy prices, folks a little upset about energy

212
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.279
<v Speaker 2>and energy policy is a prioritization.

213
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.399
<v Speaker 5>I don't think I've met anybody for a while Brian

214
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 5>who has said, boy, I'm really happy about these low energy.

215
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I know going through the roof. So

216
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.279
<v Speaker 1>no surprise is there.

217
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 5>But what I think was insightful because we wanted to

218
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.000
<v Speaker 5>kind of understand where folks want to see the legislature

219
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 5>take things. Sixty percent of voters say the government's number

220
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 5>one priority should be ensuring affordable and reliable energy, even

221
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.440
<v Speaker 5>if it may slow the pace of renewable energy development.

222
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 5>So we're opposed to renewable energy, right, But the signal

223
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.919
<v Speaker 5>is we got to unleash energy abundance here and not

224
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.240
<v Speaker 5>just in the country, but particularly here in state Ohio.

225
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 5>We got an abundance of resources, abundant's opportunity, and that's

226
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 5>what two thirds of voters want to see happen.

227
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I died. I'm glad Donald trumpson.

228
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess you probably saw the EPA has got has

229
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>moved away from this Green New Deal garbage and going

230
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.840
<v Speaker 2>back to more sensible Donald Trump, you know all of

231
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 2>the above energy strategy, and you know, and that's another thing.

232
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Ohio could be the leader of nuclear power. I mean,

233
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 2>we just need to get rid of the regulatory overburdens

234
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 2>and the impediments to nuclear energy, embrace this modern nuclear

235
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.919
<v Speaker 2>power generation technology, the modular nuclear plans. I mean, we

236
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.399
<v Speaker 2>could be a real leader and another magnet for artificial

237
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>intelligence to come here because that's the that's the key

238
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 2>to drawing AI facilities and the jobs that they have,

239
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 2>oh without a doubt, and.

240
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.799
<v Speaker 5>Unfortunately there are are already legislative vehicles. There have been

241
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 5>many hearings talking about just that. And it's not what

242
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 5>we typically see, right, which are subsidies are picking winners

243
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 5>and losers in the energy marketplace. The policies we're seeing

244
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 5>Center Bill two, House Bill fifteen, those are focused on

245
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.960
<v Speaker 5>speeding up in many ways, speeding up the permitting process

246
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.200
<v Speaker 5>so that if somebody's got an energy project and energy

247
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 5>generation project they want to get off the ground, they're

248
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.000
<v Speaker 5>going to know they're going to have an answer to

249
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:06.759
<v Speaker 5>it and not just go into a black hole like

250
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 5>they often do, you know, on the federal level as

251
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 5>they work through these things.

252
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, since they'll be talking about property tax relief coming

253
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 2>up after top of the our news with Senator Blessing,

254
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I see that's a big concern for Ohioans because everybody's

255
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.159
<v Speaker 2>upset about the size of their property tax bill. At

256
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 2>least the corner of your survey. It's a big priority,

257
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:24.919
<v Speaker 2>it is.

258
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 5>We've got sixty five percent of folks say property taxes

259
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 5>are too high. Again, not in the realm of big

260
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.360
<v Speaker 5>surprises here, right, folks are paying a lot and they

261
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 5>they're they're they're starting to feel the pain and the pinch.

262
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 5>What I think was especially insightful, though, was that they

263
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.399
<v Speaker 5>want to see lawmakers focus on And there's really kind

264
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.399
<v Speaker 5>of two competing tracks that we're seeing here at the

265
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 5>State House's legislative proposals come in. One is providing you know,

266
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 5>what I would deter what I would call temporary relief.

267
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.960
<v Speaker 4>Right, Hey, let's let's.

268
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Subsidize it through the state and not in like a

269
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.360
<v Speaker 5>lower case subsidized Brian. Right, like, let's have the state,

270
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.279
<v Speaker 5>you know, provide some relief to communities with high tax

271
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 5>burdens that sort of weather's storm, or let's provide some

272
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.639
<v Speaker 5>more exemptions to particular groups or populations. But what voters

273
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.559
<v Speaker 5>want to see actually is long term structural changes. And

274
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 5>so I think, you know, reforms that will address the

275
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.159
<v Speaker 5>twenty mil floor or will get to you know, making

276
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.360
<v Speaker 5>sure that folks have transparency in you know, what sorts

277
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 5>of levees have, what impact on their property tax bill.

278
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:27.519
<v Speaker 5>Those kinds of policies I think voters are going to

279
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.840
<v Speaker 5>reward next November if wallmakers get to get to work

280
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 5>on addressing them.

281
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know there's a lot of seniors out there

282
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.240
<v Speaker 2>that were just shocked and dismay and really concerned about

283
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 2>their ability to stay in the places they've been in

284
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.720
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. You know, the properties have all

285
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.720
<v Speaker 2>increased in value dramatically on the heels of COVID and

286
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>the demand, and you know they just can't manage. So

287
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.639
<v Speaker 2>relief for seniors seems to be a top priority, and

288
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.120
<v Speaker 2>I think mister Blessing is going to be addressing that

289
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.600
<v Speaker 2>in some part after the top of the air news

290
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.559
<v Speaker 2>I got a big chuckle out of no phanomi of

291
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:03.080
<v Speaker 2>tax dollars being used to support sporting organizations. You have,

292
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 2>you did a pull on the taxpayer funding for the

293
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 2>new Cleveland brown Stadium.

294
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Wow, look at that one.

295
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 5>Eighty percent, right, eighty percent.

296
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.320
<v Speaker 4>And this isn't just Cincinnati, by the way, this wasn't

297
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 4>a poll we just.

298
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:20.559
<v Speaker 5>Ran in Southwestal House. These aren't Bengals fans, you know,

299
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.759
<v Speaker 5>dogging on the team up north. That is uh, this

300
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 5>is you know, across the state of Ohio. And I

301
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.559
<v Speaker 5>think that's right right. You know, folks uh don't want

302
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.200
<v Speaker 5>to see their panheigh property taxes or paying more on

303
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.440
<v Speaker 5>energy bills. The last thing they want to see their

304
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.960
<v Speaker 5>tax dollars going to or new taxes being opposed on

305
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.879
<v Speaker 5>them to pay for our stadium deals for you know,

306
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 5>over five billion dollar infl franchises. I don't think we

307
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.399
<v Speaker 5>need to be doing that, and the voters seem to

308
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.559
<v Speaker 5>feel the same way. So I think there's been a

309
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:50.919
<v Speaker 5>lot of.

310
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.759
<v Speaker 4>Cold water doused on some of the governor's proposals around

311
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 4>funding stadium, the Cleveland Brown Stadium deal, and I'd be

312
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:02.000
<v Speaker 4>curious to see how that made be what maneuvers they

313
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:02.519
<v Speaker 4>take now.

314
00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it's a growing number of people just are

315
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I think we've all learned a lesson from the pay

316
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Corpse stadium and they always described as the worst stadium

317
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>deal negotiated in the entire country.

318
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 1>We've been living with that for a long time.

319
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:18.919
<v Speaker 2>And now they got their hand in the public funds

320
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.399
<v Speaker 2>cookie jar to do some expansions and some improvements that

321
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 2>we're all going to be on the hook on thanks

322
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.720
<v Speaker 2>to the terrible deal we dealt. So anyhow, eighty percent

323
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.919
<v Speaker 2>a pose and again we're talking about a two point

324
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 2>four billion dollars stadium they're considering That just seems outrageous, man.

325
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 2>But I always thought the way of the future was

326
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 2>sitting in your own basement watching it on a giant

327
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.159
<v Speaker 2>screen TV and not paying twelve dollars to fifteen dollars

328
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 2>for a beer.

329
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 5>Donovan s Well, you know, I like that front row

330
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.320
<v Speaker 5>seat as well, so it's fun to go to a game.

331
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.000
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, it's a pricey endeavor.

332
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but each their own, I suppose.

333
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's well, they're built for the wealthy among us,

334
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.519
<v Speaker 2>and that's part of the redevelopment plan for pay Corps.

335
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.360
<v Speaker 2>The But you know, new boxes and high end boxes

336
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:03.960

337
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:08.159
