CoolCleveland’s Thomas Mulready spoke with David Pepper, running mate of Dr. Amy Acton as candidate for Ohio Lieutenant Governor when he visited Lakewood, Ohio on 08.05.26.
“Let’s be clear,” says David Pepper. “The corruption in places like the Ohio State House is one of the major reasons why our costs are up. When they give away things to the big shots, when they do the First Energy deals, when they give tax breaks to the top, then ask the rest of us to pay the difference.”
“There are real ways that we can reduce costs,” Pepper continues. “Be it property tax relief, be it a tax cut for the middle class and working families, be it lowering energy bills, be it dealing with health care costs. But we also have to clean up the corruption in the state House if we’re going to have a shot at turning the state around long term.”
