Gov. Kasich signs “Common Sense Initiative”; aimed at helping small businesses
Gov. John Kasich on Friday signed into law what supporters call the “Common Sense Initiative,” Senate Bill 2, aimed at easing unnecessary regulations on small businesses.
“Ohio’s open for business and it’s all about creating jobs,” Kasich, surrounded by business leaders and lawmakers, said at a Statehouse bill signing ceremony.
Small businesses create most new jobs and the state must not hinder them.
“The twin enemies that I’m fighting are joblessness and poverty,” said Kasich. “Entrepreneurship, job creation is the key to restoring hope.”
Kasich said the new law and the previous creation of JobsOhio, a public private partnership to replace the Development Department in job creation efforts, are all part of his effort to move the state ahead.
