Gov. Kasich calls town hall meeting on state budget
Gov. John Kasich will hold a town hall meeting on Ohio’s budget challenges next Tuesday, March 15, the same day he sends his proposed budget to the General Assembly, the governor’ s office announced Wednesday.
The meeting will be at 6 p.m. in the Capitol Theatre in the Riffe Center in downtown Columbus.
The event will be open to the public, but tickets will be required and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at www.governor.ohio.gov/OhioTownHallMeeting.aspx.
Tickets also will be provided to legislators and state cabinet agencies. The meeting will be broadcast live on the internet and via satellite to Ohio television stations, Kasich’s office said.
Kasich will take questions in the theater and from the online audience. The state faces an $8 billion funding gap that Kasich must address in his budget proposal.
“I’ll lay out the problems before us and the cabinet and I will walk through the solutions we propose,” Kasich said in the press release. “Then I’m going to take questions for as long as I can until they start to turn out the lights on me.:
Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor also will speak.
