Strickland:"By making strategic decisions, we have laid the foundation for a reinvigorated middle class and long-term economic progress in Ohio. We made meaningful reforms in our schools, improving teacher training and our students' critical thinking skills, to unleash the transformative power of education. We established and invested in the University System of Ohio to propel the creative power of innovation. And we invested in high-growth industries and established a competitive tax structure to develop a more business-friendly environment. It's clear that Ohio is poised for growth."
