Are you comfortable with having an organization (JobsOhio) created to take public funds and not have to report how its spent? And also prevent the auditor from doing his job in overseeing that "agency's" accounting? If so, then why don't we do that for all other governmental agencies? It's foolish and is reminiscent of "Coingate" scandal, another treat hoisted on the citizens by the Republicans.
As for jobs that have been claimed to have been created, I've seen numbers ranging from 179,000 to 225,000. I've personally sent correspondence to Rep. Buchy, Sen. Faber, the Governor, Matt Borges of the Ohio Republican Party and JobsOhio itself with three basic questions. There must be a basis to arrive at the numbers being touted, so could you send a county by county breakdown of jobs, the employers and the number of hirees that each will employ? All I'm asking is to justify the claims being made with supporting figures.
I have yet to be provided any documentation from any governmental entity that makes their case believable . Someone please, enlighten me with facts.
