CSI Ohio Marks First Year of Common Sense Regulations
Columbus – Lt. Governor Mary Taylor today remarked on the first year of CSI Ohio: The Common Sense Initiative. The initiative was created by executive order on January 10, 2011 – the first day of the Kasich-Taylor Administration – to help establish a more jobs-friendly regulatory climate in Ohio. Taylor was placed in charge of the project by Governor John Kasich.
“CSI Ohio is about restoring balance to business regulations, making it easier to do business and create jobs in Ohio,” Taylor said. “We know we still have a lot of work to do, but I’m very excited about what we’ve been able to accomplish in our first year.”
CSI Ohio was established to create a regulatory framework that promotes economic development, is transparent and responsive to regulated businesses, makes compliance as easy as possible, and provides predictability for businesses. In its first year, CSI Ohio:
· Streamlined a number of obstacles to job creation in Ohio: It changed a law that required food manufacturers to purchase alcohol for their recipes at retail prices and in retail containers; it helped enact a law – Buckeyes Forever – to allow Ohio high school graduates who leave the state to return and pay in-state tuition for college and graduate school; and it eliminated duplication that required owners of inflatable bounce houses (amusement attractions) to be inspected by – and pay fees to – two different state agencies.
· Developed and advocated for legislation codifying the Common Sense Initiative in Ohio statute and creating a new level of accountability in the administrative rulemaking process. As of January 1, 2012, every administrative rule that affects businesses must undergo a CSI Business Impact Analysis, and is subject to new scrutiny by the General Assembly.
· Created a Small Business Advisory Council, consisting of nine small business leaders from throughout the state. The Council advises Lt. Governor Taylor and the CSI Office, and helps ensure that the business community is a partner in reforming Ohio’s regulations.
· Established a number of ways for business owners and other Ohioans to contribute their ideas for eliminating specific regulatory obstacles that impact business. Stakeholders can contact CSI via Email at CSIOhio@governor.ohio.gov, by calling 614.466.3555, or by visiting http://www.governor.ohio.gov/PrioritiesandInitiatives/CommonSenseInitiative.aspx. Beginning in 2012, the Office will utilize social media to enhance its real-time communication efforts.

An Ernest Look at 2009 by Ohio House Republicans
By · CommentsCOLUMBUS — House Republicans today highlighted the 2009 legislative year with the following solutions as offered by the caucus throughout the year.
“I am honored and humbled to serve in the Ohio House of Representatives,” said House Republican Leader William G. Batchelder (R-Medina). “Throughout 2009, I welcomed the opportunity to work in a bipartisan manner with members from across Ohio. However, many Republican-offered solutions were either silenced or ignored completely throughout the process. It is my hope that the New Year will encourage an open and honest discussion.”
House Republicans faced a unique situation in 2009 they had not experienced in more than 14 years: serving as the minority party. Throughout the year the caucus offered numerous viable, alternative solutions to the irresponsible policies proposed by the Democratic majority. There are many examples of House Republicans providing solutions in 2009—here are 10 examples.
10. House Republican Leader Batchelder predicts on the eve of the 2009 State of the State address that Governor Strickland’s budget will face many shortfalls and without reforms, tax increases will be forced onto the backs of hard-working Ohioans. With this in mind, Leader Batchelder introduces a plan to “beat the government bloat,” through restructuring state government, reforming how Ohio does business. [Read More]
9. House Republicans call for the resignation of the OMB Budget Director after numerous failed budget numbers and misinformation. [Read More]
8. In House Bill 260 the majority party attempts to hi-jack elections from the local clerks and centralize power under the Secretary of State. More than 20 Republican solutions were silenced while the bill was debated. [Read More]

The foul language in this video is appropriate. However, children probably shouldn’t view this.

I found the following blog entry very enlightening. How can this farmer follow the new regulations when he can’t even find out who is in charge and what the regulation actually means to him.
Time to get rid of this regulation and thousands of others that make our small business men and women less productive and less successful.
Yours fears are unfounded.

My name is AJ Bryant. I grew up in Medina County and I am proud to say I am a Tea Party Patriot. In 2005 I moved to Nashville, to pursue a career as a songwriter. What I didn’t know is that my songwriting career would take a turn into politics. I am now writing and performing songs that support the tea party message in a duo called the Boondock Rockers.
