In reply to the discussion: The **NEW** DU Primary 2016 Poll [View all]Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)90. Kasich isn't a friend to Democrats.
During a speech before Ashtabula County Republicans in March 2009 when he was running for governor of Ohio, Kasich talked about the need to "break the back of organized labor in the schools."
....
In June 2013, Kasich signed into law a state budget which included anti-abortion measures such as mandating any woman seeking an abortion to have a trans-abdominal ultrasound, and barring abortion providers from entering into emergency transfer agreements with public hospitals.[64] The bill stripped some $1.4 million in federal dollars from Planned Parenthood by placing the organization last on the priority list for family-planning funds.[64][65] The bill also provided funding to crisis pregnancy centers, which do not provide abortion referrals.[65] Under the budget, rape crisis centers could lose public funding if they counseled sexual assault victims about abortion.
....
Kasich said that the Environmental Protection Agency should not regulate carbon emissions and that instead states and private companies should be in charge of regulating coal-fired power plant emissions.
....
Kasich is the supporter of the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline project.
....
During Kasich's tenure as governor, he pushed to expand charter schools, increase the number of school vouchers that use public money to pay for tuition at private schools, implement a "merit pay" scheme for teachers, and evaluate teachers by student standardized test scores in math and reading.
....
Kasich favors allowing public school districts "to teach alternatives to evolutionsuch as intelligent designif local school officials want to.
....
In February 2014, Kasich signed into law a bill which cut six days from Ohio's early voting period, including the "golden week" (a period at the beginning of early voting when voters could both register to vote and cast an in-person absentee ballot).
