I believe there is a Green Party solution to John Kasich’s unemployment mess.
John Kasich likes to proclaim that the Ohio economy has turned a corner, but the state’s jobs report for November showed that Ohio lost 12,000 jobs that month and has 427,000 people currently looking for work. Ohio is 44th in the nation for job creation with unemployment at 7.5 percent.
The Green Party solution to fixing Kasich’s unemployment mess is that government must play a key role in creating an inclusive, green economy- by setting standards, spurring innovation, realigning existing investments, and making new investments. A Green Party Governor would accelerate growth in 3 ways-regulate conduct by establishing standards, invest money through direct spending and offering incentives, and convene leaders by spurring the formation of new collaborative institutions that solve problems by bringing together public, private, and nonprofit stakeholders. John Kasich is re-active, not pro-active in solving Ohio’s unemployment mess.
We need a governor who will support problem solvers to unemployment-the clean energy producers, green builders, community educators, green-collar workers, and green consumers. I am that governor.
