As Ted Strickland’s campaign continues to fall apart, he has now resorted to having a New York CEO, whose company received $500,000 in state incentives last year, give a testimonial for him. Strickland’s campaign released an ad starring James Hagedorn, CEO of Scotts Miracle-Gro today. Though the ad makes it appear that Hagedorn is from Ohio, he is in fact a New York registered voter.
Also, the RGA is grateful for Scotts Miracle-Gro’s contribution which it received in August, for $10,000. Apparently, the company knows that Republican governors, like John Kasich, will grow more jobs, while its New York CEO uses his company as a front to support his friend, Ted Strickland.
“Taxpayers aren’t going to like the fact that Strickland spent $500,000 of their money to earn the endorsement of a New York CEO,” said RGA spokesman Chris Schrimpf.
