Kasich homecoming: Governor to return to Ohio to deliver State of State on Wednesday

Staff report

COLUMBUS

Gov. John Kasich will be back in Ohio Wednesday to offer his State of the State address, this year in Marietta in southeastern Ohio.

It’s the latest the annual speech before a joint session of the Ohio House and Senate has been offered by Kasich and the latest such address being given among governors nationally.

It’s also one of the few times Kasich has offered a non-presidential-campaign-related speech in his home state since January, when he hit the road to build support for his run for the White House.

What will the governor discuss in his sixth State of the State, to be delivered at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Peoples Bank Theatre, near the confluence of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers?

The administration was mostly mum on the specifics Friday.

Spokesman Joe Andrews offered in a statement, “The governor is looking forward to continuing his tradition of taking the State of the State on the road next week in Marietta to share some of our achievements and discuss what’s needed to build upon our progress.”
