Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor was recently in Fostoria to speak about Ohio’s Comeback story at the local Chamber of Commerce. The Advertiser-Tribune has more below:
Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor outlined the state administration’s plan to continue job and economic growth in Ohio during the Fostoria Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards luncheon Thursday.
Taylor emphasized job creation as a main concern. She said jobs make communities and families stronger, along with benefiting the state and making it financially stable.
“It does happen one job at a time, and every job counts,” she said. “It’s nice to make announcements where there’s 100 or 200, 300 jobs being created, but it’s just as important to say we’re creating a new job right here in a community because that’s a family that’s being impacted.”
Taylor said when she and Gov. John Kasich took office, Ohio faced an $8 billion budget deficit.
“With the last two budgets, we cut taxes by $3 billion,” she said. “We’re making progress in the state of Ohio.”
She said the administration wants to keep cutting taxes to create an economic environment to bring jobs back to the state.
“They are starting to come back,” she said. “We had lost nearly 400,000 jobs in the four years prior to us taking office. Since we came into office, there were 90,000 new businesses created in 2013 alone, which is a new record.”
She said the private sector also has created about 160,000 jobs since she and Kasich took office. Small businesses are getting the opportunity to reinvest money they are receiving from the 50 percent tax cut for 2013, Taylor said.
“We are … for the first time in a long time, hearing from businesses all over the country and, in fact, the world, that they are looking at Ohio for the first time in years. They are taking us seriously,” she said.
And
Taylor also cited the Common Sense Initiative, legislation to help create more jobs, as a way to help small businesses grow and improve the economic outlook of the state.
She said the initiative is not about getting rid of rules and regulations, but protecting the health and safety of citizens.
The initiative also was created to help find the right balance in regulations and the impact that new legislation has on small businesses.
“(The Common Sense Initiative is) very simply our effort to get rid of the red tape in the bureaucracy that’s preventing our small businesses from creating jobs,” she said. “I like to remind people in government that you don’t work for us; we in government work for you.”
