4 Dayton city commissioners taking on GOP gubernatorial candidate John Kasich
Dayton City Commissioners Nan Whaley, Joey Williams, Matt Joseph and Dean Lovelace - all Democrats - are holding a press conference at downtown Dayton’s Cooper Park on Monday, Jan. 25, at 3:30 p.m. to criticize John Kasich’s tax plan for Ohio.
Kasich, a Republican, is challenging Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland in November’s governor’s race.
In a press release from the Ohio Democratic Party, the event is to “highlight the devastating effects that Republican gubernatorial candidate and former Congressman John Kasich’s reckless tax plan would have on local communities, including Dayton.”
According to the Associated Press, legislative analysts have determined that a proposal to phase out Ohio’s income tax would cost state and local governments and libraries more than $800 million next year.
Kasich has made a 10-year phase-out of the income tax central to his campaign platform.
Cooper Park is located next to the downtown Dayton Metro Library at Second and St. Clair streets.
