While it feels like a hundred years, today is actually John Kasich’s 100th day in office – and he thinks he has a lot to brag about. He recently told the Cleveland Plain Dealer with a wide smile, “we got a lot done. It’s pretty amazing.”

If working hard for 100 days to dismantle Ohio’s middle class is his idea of “getting a lot done,” then Mr. Kasich is right, he has indeed gotten a lot done. And, in a sadly perverse way, it is “amazing” that we have a Governor who has done so much to damage this state.

Here is a snapshot of what John Kasich has “done” in just 100 days:

*He has waged war on the middle class.

*He took away collective bargaining rights from our public servants.

*He proposed a state budget that will destroy communities, impose backdoor tax increases and cut vital services.

*He sent 16,000 infrastructure jobs to other states.

*He put a “For Sale” sign on Ohio – including our prisons and our Turnpike.

*He has run state government in secret.

*He showed disrespect for Ohioans from all walks of life by telling African American leaders “I don’t need your people.”

*He even called police officers “idiots” and said that our state isn’t “cool.”

But what is truly “amazing” about the last 100 days is not anything that John Kasich has done, but everything that YOU have done. Supporters like you have fought back against his agenda. Tens of thousands of you wrote letters, talked to friends and neighbors, attended rallies and made small-dollar contributions for the first time.

Will you continue to fight back against John Kasich’s agenda by making a contribution of $1, $10 or $100 today?

Like John Kasich, we at the Ohio Democratic Party, along with our allies in the Labor and progressive communities are working to “get a lot done.” But unlike John Kasich, we are working to protect middle class Ohioans. We are going to bring Senate Bill 5 directly to the ballot for an up or down vote. And we are confident that – with your continued help – John Kasich will find the results of that vote… “amazing.”

Sincerely,
