Today my husband and I were requested to attend a meeting together in the "capital city" (Columbus). It was with senior management of one of our local employers. I was a bit hesitant going into the meeting, but it turned out to be very positive and very promising.
The company we met with has facilities in many parts of the United States and abroad and we discussed how competitive Ohio is in terms of business regulation, taxes, incentives, etc. I am pleased to report that, at least to this large employer, Ohio is now "back in the game" and is no longer off the radar screen. When we asked why, the response was because Ohio came through and did things to save jobs that they haven't encountered anywhere else. We truly made a difference. But there are still issues that Ohio needs to deal with to make the buckeye state more business friendly, especially to existing employers. But the good news is that we have a seat back at the table.
