Friend--
I've [Ted Strickland] just finished delivering my third State of the State speech, and I wanted to share it with you.
Across the country, Americans are grappling with the worst economic climate in 80 years. In Ohio, too, we've seen the devastating effects of a crisis caused by failed Washington policies and Wall Street greed.
But while the Wall Street recession has knocked Ohio down, we're not staying down. The state of our state is unyielding. With a long-term approach that focuses on creating jobs from the bottom up, Ohio can emerge from this global recession stronger than ever.
Read the full State of the State address here to learn how we're building an Ohio that can lead once again.
DAVID WILHELM, CO CHAIR OF THE OHIO THIRD FRONTIERS PROGRAM AND FELLOW BOARD MEMBER OF NASVF WITH ME, SUGGESTS THAT GOVERNOR STRICKLAND UNDERSTANDS THE ROLE OF INNOVATION IN THEIR STATES ECONOMIC GROWTH AS WELL AS ANY GOVERNOR OR POLITICAL LEADER.
I TEND TO AGREE, RICH BENDIS
