MORE GEARS AND BEERS!

I am officially announcing my candidacy for Governor for the State of Ohio in 2006. My campaign slogan will be “MORE GEARS AND BEERS FOR ALL”

Concerning my platform I can give you the usual politician line of crap: Health care for everyone, better funding for our schools, lower taxes, and affordable drugs for seniors. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. While all that is important and I will address my plans later, I will outline the major points of my campaign.

1) Speed Limit: Who is not in a hurry? When elected Governor I will raise the speed limit on the Ohio Turnpike to 75 MPH, and 70 MPH on all other interstate highways.
2) Casino Gambling: I will make bringing the Casino’s to Ohio a top priority. The State of Ohio can gain plenty of tax money and lower unemployment with Casino Gambling.
3) Environment & Urban Sprawl: Very simple if you live more than 25 miles from your main place of employment you will be taxed ten cents per mile for each work day. For example if you live 30 miles for work you will be taxed for the five additional miles over the 25 mile limit .10X 10 miles (5 miles each way) X 5 days or $5.00 per week. Multiply that times 52 weeks and you pay $260. All the taxes raised on this program will go into fixing roads and bridges in the state.
4) More Gears: I plan to open all state park & hunting lands to mountain biking.
5) More Beers: All micro-breweries located in the state of Ohio will receive a tax break. For saving everyone from mass-produced swill.
6) Health Care: How about getting a job that offers health care?
7) Funding for Schools: Scholl districts will receive back what they pay taxes. The Brecksville-Broadview Heights School District receives about 35% of taxes paid (real estate & income) back from the state; East Cleveland receives back 300%. When the City of Cleveland offers a 10 year tax abetment to move into the city, meanwhile it demands the long time residents pay more for the schools.
8) Lower Taxes: I will be honest upfront I will not lower taxes.
9) Affordable Drugs for Seniors: Don’t get sick and you will not need drugs.


I will be providing more information on my campaign in the near future. For additional information email me Chris@mrbigring.com
