  • John Kasich unveiled "The Kasich Action Plan" on October 15, 2015. The proposal called for consolidating federal job training programs into a handful of block grants administered by the states. The plan would also balance the budget in eight years and reform the tax code.[1][2]
  • On September 2, 2015, Kasich said any increase in the minimum wage should be determined by the states. He added, “What I think is important on that is we all want to see it go up, but we don’t want to have the unintended consequences of having people lose their jobs.”[3]
  • In 2011, Kasich signed Senate Bill 5, a bill that reduced the power of collective bargaining for state employees, such as firefighters and teachers.[4] The bill was overturned by referendum after a group called "We Are Ohio" raised more than $30 million in a campaign against the bill.[5] In response to the referendum, Kasich responded, "It's clear the people have spoken. I heard their voices. I understand their decision. And frankly, I respect what the people have to say in an effort like this."[5]
  • In 1998, Kasich voted in favor of a bill that would have required labor unions to provide an itemized list of money spent on political activities.[6][7]
