During Gov. John Kasich’s first two years in office, state-to-state migration shrank Ohio’s economy by more than $2.2 billion.
Ohio’s population dropped by a total of 33,000 in 2011 and 2012 as a result of taxpayers voting with their feet, based on the latest Internal Revenue Service data.
State-to-state migration was a net drain of $1.2 billion on Ohio’s economy in 2011 and $1.1 billion in 2012. Almost 24,000 fewer IRS returns were filed in Ohio in 2013 than in 2011 as a result of Ohioans moving to other states.
Ohio’s net population and income losses resulting from state-to-state migration were both the nation’s seventh-worst in 2012.
A net loss of taxpayers in the early years of Kasich’s first term signals a serious problem for the state, since Ohio’s private-sector job growth has slowed since 2011. A rebounding economy has produced increasing tax revenues, but it’s only a matter of time until the next downturn.

Did Msrty O'Moron move to Ohio and get elected there?
Or is Governor Kasich's state full of the same problems that he wants to bring to the nation after being elected as president. Sounds like his campaign will be a losing one...just like our former governor!
Ohio is a sever rust belt state, the people are smart to flee.
The death of manufacturing since Reagan's union busting era has killed this area.
Those 30,000 leaving are the illegal registered voters that transplanted to Ohio JUST TO VOTE. They vote in Ohio AND back home in their blue state.
Rigging elections, it's what democrats do best.
LOL - Ohio is Melowese's home state
