The president of the Northeast Ohio Education Association is not happy with John Kasich, the Republican candidate for Ohio governor.
Jeff Pegg feels public school budgets across the state would be cut by millions of dollars if Kasich were elected, since he wants to lower taxes.
Pegg believes schools would be forced to lay off teachers or cut programs, with dire results.
"All schools in Ohio, large and small, would be devastated by this plan," Pegg said.
He cited Youngstown in particular: "The Youngstown City Schools, their district operates off a $79.9 million budget. It would be cut to $54.7 million."
Kasich feels Ohio taxes businesses too much and spends too much money in the wrong areas of education. He wants to spend less on bureaucracy and more in the classroom.
