You hate balanced budgets because it doesn't give you enough free stuff

It takes a concerted effort to be this stupid

Crazy thing is that it seems like there is a push by the GOP Establishment for a Rubio/Kasich ticket in hopes that they can beat Trump.

Yeah they want either that Rubio/Kaisch ticket or for Kaisch to get out all together so his support will go to Rubio

Kasich’s private prisons plan saving Ohio money… in the worst possible way
ShareTweetPinMail
When Kasich unveiled his first biennium budget in March 2011, he called for selling five State prisons to “save money” by privatization. By the time the budgetary legislative sausage making process was completed, the Kasich Administration reversed course and instead sold only one prison, privatized the operation (but not ownership) of another and took one privately operated prison back under State control.

At the time, the Kasich Administration claimed that only the bid by Corrections Corporation of America (the former employer of Gary Mohr, Kasich’s Rehabilitation and Corrections Director) for the Lake Erie Correctional Institution made sense for the State to accept. Ironically, most of the spending from Kasich’s revised plan, according to the Kasich Administration itself, was from taking the privately operated prison back into a public institution.

So how’s Lake Erie Correctional been doing under private ownership? Not well, according to this story from the Dayton Daily News, which has reviewed audits of the facility by the State’s Correctional Institution Inspection Committee. Those inspections found:

• Padlocked fire exits;
• Meat slicers without safety guards and other food safety violations;
• Likely falsification of food service records;
• Clogged water fountains;
• Moldy showers;
• Unsecured cleaning chemicals;
• No guards monitoring “pill call” — when inmates receive medications;
• Two inmates painting a mural in the entry building that were ineligible to work in that area because they are convicted killers;
• Unacceptable living conditions of inmates being housed inside recreation areas, with no immediate access to running water for hydration, showers or the use of a toilet.

And here’s the State’s response to CCA’s unconsciousable breach of its contract with the State of Ohio:

The state docked payments to CCA this year by more than $573,000 for leaving positions vacant and violating terms of the contract.

We saved more money by paying less to CCA for operating a prison that is below Ohio’s required standards for prisons. Imagine the shock we had in discovering that a prison owned by a for-profit company would try to cut corners to turn a profit! And remember, as a result of Kasich’s privatization efforts, these companies got to rehire the state prison workers but not honor their union contracts. The savings, the Administration claimed, would come from having a profit motivated company operate a prison without having to use union labor. So, thanks to Kasich, the employees there are getting paid less and have crappier benefits for the same job they used to have. But that’s not all they face:

Under CCA control, inmate complaints about prison gangs, assaults and other problems have doubled since the state turned over control, staff turnover has been more than 20 percent and violent incidents increased 21 percent inside the medium-security prison, according to public records.

Less pay and worse benefits while working with more gangs, more violence, deplorable inmate conditions and shocking breaches of security? It’s no wonder they have large turnover there.

Just imagine how much worse it would have been if Kasich had proceeded with his original plan.

This story should be treated as a front page news and a Kasich Administration scandal all on its own. But’s it’s also a ticking time bomb. It only a matter of time before these small cut corners add up to a big disaster.

Ohioans should be embarrassed that Kasich is letting CCA lock up our fellow citizens in a facility like this and ashamed that he’s letting Ohioans work in a dangerous, shoddily-run prison owned by a for-profit corporation that appears to be more concerned with its own bottom line than the safety of its employees.

The State of Ohio should stop simply fining CCA and should look for a way to retake ownership and operation of Lake Erie Correctional Institution.

It’s time for Governor Kasich to admit that his privatization experiment has been a horrific failure, before it’s too late.

I swear, you can't ever get locked up, you don't know what type of cancerous environment you'll be subjected too. And in spite of budget cuts, from the Government trying to more with less, being locked up seems like an infallible existence.

Breh i didn't even touch on the food contractor Aramark who Kaisch awarded a contract to take over food services in all state run prisons. Here is a article, for whatever reason I couldn't copy and paste it but here's the link. shyt is disturbing. Stay out of prison brehs

John Kasich’s Path to the Nomination Just Keeps Getting Narrower
By Josh Voorhees

Of the five Republicans still running for their party’s nomination, John Kasich has the narrowest path to victory. (Ben Carson does not have a path.) The Ohio governor posted a strong second-place finish in New Hampshire earlier this month but now has to find a way to keep his campaign afloat until the race reaches the Midwest in the middle of next month. That was going to be challenging in the best of times—the post–New Hampshire calendar is dominated by a monthlong tour of dark red states that don’t take kindly to Kasich’s brand of unapologetic conservative apostasy—but his case for sticking around looks weaker by the day.

JOSH VOORHEES

The latest hit came Tuesday by way of a new Quinnipiac survey of his home state. The Ohio poll shows Donald Trump leading the field with 31 percent, followed by Kasich at 26 percent, Ted Cruz at 21 percent, Rubio at 13 percent, and Carson at 5 percent. Trump’s lead is within the survey’s margin of error, so Team Kasich will see the results as a sign that their man can still win the state’s delegate-rich and winner-take-all primary on March 15. The Marco Rubio wing of the Republican Party—which is growing by the day—will see the results as a sign that Kasich can’t even pull away in his home state, where he was re-elected governor less than two years ago by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.

The two other major Midwest nominating contests look even worse for Kasich. He’s currently about 20 points behind Trump in Michigan, which holds its primary on March 8, and 25 points behind Trump in the most recent GOP poll taken in Illinois, which holds its primary on the same day as Ohio. In both Michigan and Illinois, Kasich is running neck and neck with Rubio (and Cruz), but if he can’t better his establishment rival on his quasi-home turf, it’s unclear why he would in states with a more conservative Republican electorate. Kasich barely competed in South Carolina, where he finished a distant fifth last week, and he’s unlikely to do any better than fourth in Nevada on Tuesday night. The best he can reasonably hope for on Super Tuesday, meanwhile, is a better-than-expected finish in a state like Massachusetts, which will largely be a forgotten primary on a night that will also see winners declared in Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee.

Kasich can make the argument that Rubio is also currently losing in the polls in his home state to Trump, as well as many of its nearby states. That is certainly a concern for Rubio—whose path to the nomination is narrower than he seems to believe—but the rationale for the Florida senator’s campaign has always been his ability to compete nationally by cobbling together support from across the Republican Party as the field winnows. In contrast, Kasich’s campaign is built on the premise that he can dominate in the more moderate Northern states that come after Super Tuesday. Rubio’s big advantage in this battle of path-to-victory arguments is that his theory can’t be disproven until after Kasich drops out.

Why Is John Kasich Still Running for President?

He down in the polls in Ohio, can't stop won't stop

He don't need us brehs



gov: 'I don't need your people'

'He said it referring to partisan Democrats,' a Kasich spokesman said.

An Ohio lawmaker is accusing the state’s new governor of saying he doesn’t “need” African-Americans.

“I don’t need your people,” state Sen. Nina Turner said Republican Gov. John Kasich told her when she offered her help in building a racially diverse cabinet. All 22 of Kasich’s appointees since he took office Jan. 10 have been white, and only five are female.

Turner, who is black and a Democrat, said on Thursday that she was “kind of perplexed” by Kasich’s comment. “ I wasn’t quite sure whether or not he was referring to my ethnic group people or ‘my people’ as in the 350,000 constituents I serve in this state that represent all ethnic groups, all religious groups,” she said. “I didn’t understand what ‘I’m not going to hire your people’ means.”

But Turner said she thinks it has something to do with race. “Today, in 2011, it feels more like 1811 in the state of Ohio under a governor who just does not get it,” she said.

Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols confirmed to POLITICO that the governor did tell Turner he didn’t need her “people,” but said he meant it in an entirely partisan way. “What he meant was, ‘Your people are Democrats, we don’t need them on our cabinet,’” Nichols said. “He said it referring to partisan Democrats who don’t agree with reducing taxes and reducing spending.”

Kasich had not yet appointed any African-Americans to his cabinet, but that’s not for lack of trying, Nichols said. “We have reached out to two African-Americans for two different cabinet-level positions, and they passed on the opportunity.”

But Turner is dissatisfied with Kasich’s efforts. “Through his actions and deeds, Gov. Kasich has declared that Ohio is open for business, but if you are African-American, you need not apply,” she said.

Turner and the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus are “demanding” a meeting with Kasich, the group’s president, state Rep. Sandra Williams, told The Columbus Dispatch.

The group has set up an e-mail address to which qualified minority applicants can send their resumes. “We will take those resumes — walk those resumes over to our governor to let him know that there are qualified people of color in this state, and we are demanding employment,” Williams said Thursday.

Nichols said that Kasich welcomes job applicants but will not choose candidates based on their race.

“Diversity is something we will seek and something we will work toward, but it’s not more important than finding people who share the governor’s positions,” he said.

Its ironic how he's supposed to be moderate but its only because of the people he's standing next to on the stage
