Thanks to Lobbyist Ryan for this article on how Governor Kasich’s created a $2.7 Billion cash surplus in the State’s budget by reducing funds distributed to local governments.

(LFC Comment: It is now incumbent on taxpayers to ensure that their local political sub-divisions are good stewards of the taxpayers’ money. We must be ever vigilant, and do not just assume that our politicians and the political sub-division’s Boards of Trustees are looking out for the best interests of the taxpayers. We can tell you without any reservation that there is NO ONE in Lake County that is certifying the need for a tax levy for any political sub-division, other than their respective Board of Trustees. )
