I would rather see taxes raised than services decreased - and I think this is a view of the majority of Americans. Yes, we would like to see government waste cut and more responsible spending, but more responsible spending doesn't necessarily mean less spending - in fact, it could mean more. Investing in things like transportation infrastructure, schools, and libraries fertilize entrepreneurship - from a population of both mobility and high eduation comes business and innovation. What this is essentially doing is selling out Ohio's future - we're cutting off our nose to spite our face.
