Answer from Stephen E. Silver:
Answer from Tom Brinkman, Jr.:
Answer from Stephen E. Silver:
I would support allowing small businesses the ability to purchase group health care from the same plan Ohio offers its employees and propose efforts to move towards a statewide single payer system.
Ohio needs to get smarter about granting and accounting for tax incentives and promote our capacity for innovation and quality of workforce.
Answer from Stephen E. Silver:
Voucher programs take badly needed money from our public schools and divert it to private and parochial institutions. Far from equitable, private schools that accept vouchers are not subject to the same rules our public schools are. They don't have to accept special needs children, hire certified teachers, adhere to statewide standards or even provide bus service. Vouchers are exacerbating the gulf between the haves and the have nots, creating a system where a lucky few can benefit at the expense of others. I support eliminating the voucher program.
Answer from Stephen E. Silver:
By restoring our funding of state colleges and universities, I would encourage our graduates to remain in-state. Coupled with our progressive approach to health care and the lowering of our tax rates, I believe companies would once again find Ohio an attractive location. The rebuilding of our business infrastructure is what will drive our expanding state economy and provide the quality jobs necessary for growth.
