Public-pension ploy didn’t work, but bellwether state is going business-friendly. |
CEO Comments |
---|
“Ohio is depressed with low levels of communication between government and business. Government believes miracle corporations coming to Ohio to “save” the state, yet employee base is not trained in high tech or significant competencies to fill the jobs. It’s very frustrating to attempt to improve backward thinking.”
“Ohio is improving with new governor.” |
