Taps Running Mate and State's Top Fiscal Watchdog Mary Taylor to Relieve Ohio's Small Businesses of Regulatory Overreach

Columbus - Amid nearly 400,000 jobs lost over the past 3 ½ years and a state business climate consistently ranked among the worst nationally, today Ohio gubernatorial candidate John Kasich outlined his plan to eliminate barriers to Ohio's economic recovery created by excessive or needless regulation.

Kasich also announced that Mary Taylor, Ohio's current Auditor of State and lieutenant governor candidate, will initiate CSI Ohio-The Common Sense Initiative-to ensure clarity and ease of compliance in agency regulations; identify duplication, obsolescence, or excess; and align state regulations and enforcement processes with the Kasich Administration's job creation mission.
