We Need an Ohio Governor To Support Green Jobs

Ted Strickland doesn't and won't. We need a Green Party Governor for Ohio who will lead the way for improving energy efficiency and deploying more renewable technology at a scale that will produce massive demands for skilled labor.

We must have a Green Party Governor who will push hard for investing in worker training, support employment services, manufacuring extensions, and community development to meet these goals.

We must use public investment to prime new industries as well as lift people out of poverty. We must connect to people's immediate self-interests and larger moral purposes of creating solutions.

We must have a Governor who will lead us in neighborhood -level actions, restoring communities with green space and green buildings, restoring bodies with parks and clean air, and restoring families with purpose and paychecks.

When's the last time you heard Ted Strickland speak in these terms? The answer is never. Ted's talk is not there, thus, Ted's actions are not there as well.
