Our political leaders should scrap the talk of minimal cuts and layout the plan to eliminate the state income tax completely by a date certain in the future, as they already could have done.
What you're referring to regarding the budget are TABOR rules, where the budget isn't allowed to increase more than population growth + inflation. I believe only one state has adopted this (Colorado) and the liberals hate it.
This may be something affected by DOGE as well because surely states have picked up more money from the feds to save themselves having to either make unpopular cuts or raise taxes.
Answer: open primaries, which allow the Democrat Party to give us our "republican" representation, along with tepid, status-quo state Party.
So long as we continue to allow a small number of self-interested Uniparty types to get rich off Ohio, we'll forever have a stream of people interested in getting rich.
Answers:
1) Build news & information sufficient to break through the noise of the Uniparty apparatus and get to the low information, low propensity voter.
Because the Ohio Republican party is the deep state and a good old boys club and they keep filtering around the same politicians. Dewine selected Tressel because his popularity could help defeat Vivek

As someone who lived in Colorado shortly after they passed TABOR and watched countless efforts to undo it, you are spot on.

2) Precinct Strategy (PrecinctStrategy.com or OhioPrecinctStrategy.org)
3) Ohio RINO Hunters (OhioRINOhunters on most platforms)
4) Focus 85% of all efforts on school board races, that is our enemies' primary objective and they have a head start.
5) Somewhere along the way, create a strong, solid, principled platform and hold people to it (this requires Step #2 above).

I agree on the latter, but few in the ORP could pass a security clearance so deep state they are not:-)
