With us this morning to offer some insight as to what some of these results mean is John Greene of The Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron...
- The defeat leaves much of the power of public employee unions intact... This is NOT good news for cities, some counties, and the state when it comes to tthe wholesale budget cuts that some of them insist they have to make.
- Does the the GOP-controlled Legislature stop to lick its wounds, or immediately jump back into the fray to find a way around this loss - perhaps introducing 'pieces' of the former Senate Bill Five on the floor?
- The governor came out and said 'The people have spoken". What does this loss mean to John Kasich, first as Governor, but also as the leader of the Republican party in the state?
- The boost that many Democrats have gotten by pulling out this victory - what does it mean looking forward to 2012, in Ohio's critical position as an elector of Presidents?
- But what does it say that Ohioans choose to keep the power to opt out of the health law - is that a message to President Obama?
- Does a Democratic win in the Mayor's race in Columbus have any real impact on the state?
