Statement from House Democratic Leader on JobsOhio Controversy
Legislative fix needed to establish clear pay-to-play protections, better transparency
Ohio House Minority Leader Armond Budish released the following statement regarding the developing controversy over JobsOhio. Recent reports have revealed that the Kasich administration transferred more than $5 million dollars of taxpayer money to JobsOhio without proper legislative approval. Gov. Kasich and his administration are now refusing to answer questions and cooperate with a subpoena by state Auditor Dave Yost to audit JobsOhio and the possible improper use of state funds.
