    Daily Kos: Republicans win office, kill jobs immediately

    Cause that’s the way they roll!

    “Governor-Elect Kasich in Ohio has killed the federally-funded passenger rail project that would have connected Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland. Apparently, Kasich does not like the idea of putting Ohioans to work building new infrastructure that would keep a ton of people employed and provide people with a transportation option that would reduce fossil fuel consumption.”
