. >> john: today on wtf ohio, we take a look at ohio governor john kasich. like many modern-day republicans, he really wants to lower taxes on the rich but the man's not so closed-minded he won't look at other options like raising taxes on the poor. governor kasich here has proposed a new tax plan that would cut income taxes for many ohioans but also increase sales taxes for additional goods. a tax which as you know, tends to fall on poor and working people. so as far as kasich is concerned, this is a tax with no collateral damage. in this plan, the poor would have their taxes raised $63 annually while the rich would get a tax cut of $10,000. you see, according to republicans like john kasich, the really needly people in america are the rich and the rich can't get richer on their own. they need help from a powerful interest group like the poor. wtf, ohio. are you aware that you folks elected a fox news guy to lead your state. you know that but you got it backwards because the trajectory is to disgrace himself or herself in office then getting a job reading p

she reported there was no gun used in this case, but in the frederick and pentagon city kasich, hammer was used. -- cases, a hammer was used. police have not connected the cases just yet. >> a man is charged with beating a young father with a baseball bat. charges told the front of the r had virginia tags and the back of the car had illinois plates. >> of a string of assaults last summer. the most serious was the beating of t.c. maslin. >> it was in closing arguments the prosecution focused on the of a string of assaults last summer. the most serious was the beating oftestimony of the defendant, tommy branch. she said that her son told her that he knocked ltc matlin down. she said she also found a baseball bat in his vehicle. but the most compelling testimony was from maslin's wife, abby. >> it took seconds to destroy a family. when her husband did not come home from the game, abby matlin was in a panic. when she saw two charges on his credit card at a gas station, she knew something was very wrong. this video shows the man who robbed and savagely beat t.c. maslin as he walked across c

i used so share county with kasich. >> married twice and divorced twice. current relationship? no, not really. >> kids? >> two children. >> nothing serious though. >> i have a grandchild. >> go back to prison. the thought of public officials being in prison and the experience is rarely written about. you put it all here on paper. what was it like that first couple days a inwhat -- days and what kind of cell were you in? >> the toilets are put into solitary confinement. i mentioned the shu. i mentioned that if you get in trouble, that's where you're placed with another person. >> did you ever get in trouble? >> well, i did. i did get in trouble once because i went to do some laundry and the one officer said, what are you doing? i said laundry. it's hard to explain the tvs were turned on which mean you can get up and move around. we thought we could get up and move around. i said sorry, i can't repeat on tv what he said to me. you better be sorry and i know who you are congressman. i never got sighted for it. otherwise i didn't get in trouble. as far as what the prison was liking

in other words, it is such a great deal that even a republican governor like ohio's john kasich is willing to overlook the deeply disturbing fact that it actually helps people in need and holds his nose while he accepts these funds. but a republican state house panel is nixing the $13 billion that would go toward providing 300,000 ohioans with healthcare. because the supreme court made accepting the funds optional and conservative groups have turned this into a litmus test. if you accept the funds many of your state citizens will be alive but you'll be dead to us. so republicans now have this sophie's choice of deciding what's more important? the health of their constituents or the health of their super pac donations. wtf, ohio. your politicians care about harming obama building up their standing with corporate interests and staying in the good graces of wealthy right wing fringe groups but the one thing these ohio lawmakers don't seem to care about at all is ohio. ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe dr

receive a specific proposal from our -- we're serving in close touch with governor pbs was governor kasichn ohio and governor scott in florida and some others around the notion that medicaid dollars could be potentially used to purchase coverage from a company offering coverage on the exchange. and as you say kind of eliminating people going back and forth. as you know, i'm sure that tennessee has a similar situation in kansas but most of the medicaid program is offered right now by managed care company bigger contracts already there. those companies will be providing benefits on the exchange. so we are working around sort of premium assistance plans. there is more flexibility in the original medicaid law for sharing, for different kind of benefit packages for those up of 100% of poverty. and think governors are very intrigued by creating a format where particularly for the higher income, low-income workers, there would be a package that looked very similar to what's in the private market. and have the ability if someone's wages continue to rise, that they would stay with that plan. so we
