Campaign issues

The following issue statements were found on Hill's official campaign website.

“	Minimum Wage PROGRESSIVE MINIMUM WAGE ACT (SUMMARY): All working Ohio citizens will be raised to a $10/hour progressive minimum wage plan. The Act will work with employers and employees to keep everybody accounted for and above the living wage. ​ Step One: Reduce Corporate Income Tax As it is now, companies will be categorized by the number of employees they have on payroll. Non-small businesses that report a net profit from the previous fiscal year will be asked to participate in the Progressive Minimum Wage System. Once all employees are making the new $10 minimum wage, a small portion of the companies profits will be allocated to a 10% annual raise ($1/hour) for 5 years of consistent growth and profit. This raise will be mandatory as long as the company is reporting profit for the previous fiscal year. ​ What is in it for employers? Employers offering the progressive system will see the corporate income taxes eliminated as well as subsidized employee enrichment programs to promote the education and growth of their employees they're investing in. Essentially, make money, raise pay, cut taxes, REPEAT. ​ What is in it for the employees? First, you're going to be making $1.90 more per hour than currently. Next, you will see you dedication to a company return on your investment after 12 months when you earn yet another $1/hour raise from your employers profit share. In addition to the new wage progression, employees will be eligible for employer and state sponsored training and education programs to help them move onto the next chapter of their lives. ​ How does it balance out? Employees will be capped out at a 5 year, 50% wage increase. So, if you work for 5 years you are now making $15/hour. If you work 8 years at the same position, you are making $15 hour. The Act is designed to get people the funding and resources they need to take the next step in their job skills or education to get them out of the minimum wage salary range. Employers will never be subject to losses as a result of raising pay for their employees. The state will ensure that profits are protected if they are small. ​ What else does this help? It helps beat inflation against minimum wages without bankrupting small businesses. You simply raise pay as you make money so everybody wins with good business. Also, with the raises coming at 10% annually, the necessity for social welfare programs will decline in a two income household due to the significant raise in income. Even if two people work at minimum wage forever, $15/hour/year/two people is $60,000/year. The state will save millions in welfare programs because people working at minimum wage will still be able to raise a family, buy a home, and live comfortably. Jobs Corporate Income Tax will not exist in Ohio. We will also offer heavy incentives for any company looking to relocate from overseas to Ohio to create Ohio jobs. Whether it comes as tax-free building materials for new structures, incentives to expand production here instead of outsourcing to another state, Ohio will match and compete with any offer another state puts on the table. My goal is to make Ohio such a great place for industry that we have to make a waitlist of companies looking to move inside our borders due to the overwhelming amount of business being added. ​ It's time to face the reality that some jobs are just not coming back to America. CEO's and multinational companies have sold out their workforce to the lowest bidder and Americans wouldn't lower their standard of living. It's been rough, but it WILL get better. ​ My solution? New jobs. New industries. Make Ohio a pioneer for the Midwest and the country. ​ Green JOBS - wind, solar, and other renewable energy companies need a home. Why not make Ohio that home? Blue collar and college degree earning citizens will all be able to take advantage of the new industry we can build in Ohio. •'I believe that climate change is a hoax.' Okay, well, energy is not a hoax. You may think that the data is off or even made up (it's not), but you could also get a great job and if it helps the environment too, what's the opposition? ​ Tech JOBS - The tech industry really doesn't have a home in the Midwest. Dallas is budding in the south to take some of the market. Why should the 3 C's of Ohio not take a chance? Ohio State is a huge economic boost for the economy and being able to partner its network with tech firm around the world to bring tech companies to Ohio would allow for the industry to have a home in the Midwest. Did you know Columbus is situated in a geographically perfect location to be home to company's from New York, Chicago, Kansas City, and MORE! ​ You might be the first person in your families history to not get that job at the plant like your great grandfather, but you could be the first to get that awesome new job and spur some great futures for your family and posterity! Women's Reproductive Health Let me start where this conversation should always start. I am not a woman. I am not a doctor. I am not qualified to be making decisions on behalf of these two parties on topics discussed under closed doors. With that said, it will be my commitment to assemble a multi-partisan group of social workers, medical professionals, lawyers, activists, and people from all perspectives and ALL WOMEN to adopt a system of law and order that works for women, by women. It's time to give women the table to address their own concerns and their own bodies. ​ In addition, Ohio will offer birth control at pharmacies - no prescription needed. Colorado implemented this plan of action in 2009 and the teen pregnancy rates and birth rates have plummeted. Ohio looks to use that model here at home to reduce teen birth rates.	”
