Lieutenant Governor, Bruce Johnson Visits CMC®
May 2005
Lieutenant Governor, Bruce Johnson visited Connector Manufacturing Company on May 2, touring the plant and meeting with area business and civic leaders. During his visit, he provided insight into Governor Bob Taft's plan to establish a tax system that promotes economic development and the competativeness of Ohio's assets. Johnson said changes such as reductions in the personal income tax and the phasing out of several business taxes would help stimulate Ohio's economy. "What we've done in this state for the last 50 years is to overtax manufacturing," Johnson said. "Over time, we have run manufacturing, for the most part, out of state." The administration's plan would eliminate the lowest two income brackets and reduce rates by 21 percent over five years. Meanwhile, it would phase out tangible personal property taxes like the manufacturing and equipment tax inventory over five years
The plan also would get rid of corporate franchise tax and rplace it with a 0.26 percent corporate activity tax.
Johnson said the plan cuts taxes on investment, but raises taxes on consumption. In order to mitigate a loss in state tax revenues, Taft's plan retains half the penny sales tax approved during the last budget cycle to keep the state afloat.
Johnston noted that the plan discussed must still pass the Ohio Senate. "We are encouraged that the House if Representatives has passed our plan and that so many groups are backing it," Johnson said. "We now need everyone that wants to strengthen Ohio's economy to contact their local legislators to voice their support." For more information on the plan, visit www.jobsforohio.com.
Connector Manufacturing Company was very pleased to host this meeting. "Had this (plan) been in effect 20 years ago, I would not have gone out of state twice for expansions," said Bill Boehm, Chairman, CEO and Founder of Connector Manufacturing Company.
CONGRESSMAN
STEVE CHABOT VISITS CMC®
November 2004
Congressman Steve Chabot visited CMC and spent quite a lot of time touring the plant, giving a short speech to CMC employees and fielding their questions. This visit was a great way to polarize the current effort to educate CMC employees about the upcoming election.
For the first time in history, NEMA PAC launched a Get-Out-the-Vote campaign to encourage electrical manufacturing employees to get to the polls. Connector Manufacturing Company joined this effort by educating our employees on issues that pertain to our type of business. Using a web site created by BIPAC, the Business Industry Political Action Committee along with other resources, CMC created large posters displaying the voting records of local Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky Congressmen on these issues. Our goal was to motivate a well-informed voter to exercise one of their civic responsibilities and get to the polls. "Often lost in the rhetoric of those 
campaigning for office is the actual performance of the candidate," says Bill Boehm, Chairman and CEO of CMC, "When they've been in office, they have a voting record. That's a measure of performance. Manufacturers wouldn't stay in business very long ignoring performance measures. We think our leaders should be held up to the same standards."
Chabot looks on at the poster showing his past voting record, as well as the other congressmen.
