First of all, thank you!

We have reached our 100th episode. On The Record, The Views, The News, Excludes is strong and building.

This week, the Chairman of the Senate's Workforce Development Committee, Senator Kyle Koehler brings an expert level background in computer science and manufacturing to the President's Podcast.

The Springfield Republican highlights the critical skillset Ohio's careers of the future require, and how it doesn't always require a college degree.

He talks tax policy, school funding, and the General's Assembly's upcoming effort to overturn the governor's vetoes on the critical property tax reforms it passed as part of the new state budget.

Speaking of the high tech jobs of the future, Ohio's energy sector is booming with oil and natural gas.

In case you missed it, Senate Energy Chairman, Brian Chavez joined the President's Podcast last week to set the record straight as wealthy California special interests are trying to plug Ohio's oil and gas industry by funding a radical group in Athens County to spread lies about the hydraulic fracturing process, which is commonly known as fracking.

These leftists are trying to take down the industry along with the jobs, and the affordable, clean energy that comes with it. Unfortunately, some members of Marietta City Council seem to have embraced this politcally fueled agenda.

It is troubling to think that there could be even the appearance of a conflict of interest between certain members of city council and a radical group from Athens County that has taken hundreds-of-thousands of dollars from its far-left California overlords that want to kill the oil and gas industry, along with the jobs, and the affordable energy that comes with it.

Natural gas is clean energy, it's affordable energy, and it's readily available right here at home in Ohio. Congress is embracing those energy resources by passing legislation to accelerate natural gas power plant projects here at home. Senator Al Landis and Congressman Troy Balderson recently joined the President's Podcast to talk about the strategic importance of the oil and gas industry in Ohio.

We are committed to providing the content that really is, "The Views, The News, Excludes."

We stand by it. Thank you for reading. Here's to the next 100 episodes.
