Let’s talk H1B. In March 2024, I got a call. My job was gone. So was everyone else's. Infosys didn't replace one or two of us. They replaced the whole department. Every. Single. One. Their guy chose to keep his friends employed over American workers. This isn't a story. It's a playbook. Here's what they don't tell you about H-1B abuse in Ohio: → Ohioans have lost ~$300M per H-1B worker cycle → Wages drop tens of thousands per replaced job → That money doesn't pay Ohio rent. Doesn't hit Ohio restaurants. Doesn't pay Ohio taxes. It leaves. Infosys paid $34M settling federal fraud charges for exactly this. Now Vivek Ramaswamy wants to be Ohio's governor. The same man whose company used H-1B visas 29 times. The same man who told Americans we "venerate mediocrity over excellence." He got fired from DOGE partly for saying that. He says he wants to reform H-1B now. His record says otherwise. I'm running for Lt. governor because I know what it feels like. To be told your job, your team, your livelihood just doesn't matter. Ohio workers matter. Ohio paychecks should stay in Ohio. We will solve this. Share this. 🗳️ Vote Casey Putsch — May 5 📋 Register by April 6

🚨 Ohio is quietly surrendering its water to AI. Not tomorrow. Right now. Central Ohio alone has 65+ new data centers planned. Each one can guzzle up to 5 million gallons per day just to cool the servers. Google’s New Albany facility? Already sucking down 348,000 gallons daily. One facility. We get 40 inches of rain a year. Ohio should be water-rich. Instead, we’re pumping groundwater faster than it can recharge. Wells are dropping. Aquifers are thinning. By 2050, industrial water demand is projected to explode 120%. That’s your drinking water, farmers’ irrigation, and every river, stream, and wetland in a losing battle against server farms. This isn’t sustainable. This isn’t progress. This is theft from our children’s future. That’s why Ohioans are fighting back: a citizen-led effort to amend the Ohio Constitution to ban large-scale data centers that threaten our water. Ballot language is being reviewed now. Petitions will hit every county soon. Most of these companies hide their real water usage behind NDAs. They don’t want you to know they’re drinking your future. AI doesn’t run on electricity alone. It runs on your water. Arizona already learned this lesson the hard way. Ohio doesn’t have to. We will not sacrifice our water, our land, and our grandchildren’s inheritance so tech billionaires can train bigger models. Sign the petitions when they drop. Spread the word. This is Water Wars and Ohio is waking up. #water #waterwars #ohio #bigtech #datacenters Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor

Ohio politicians made it a crime for government employees to tell you how your tax dollars are being spent. And they hid it in the budget bill. This is called a moral turpitude. A phrase that describes wicked, deviant behavior constituting an immoral, unethical, or unjust departure from ordinary social standards such that it would shock a community. In criminal law, the law sorts criminal activity into categories of crime either involving or not involving moral turpitude. There's a law called Ohio's Public Records Act. It says you as a citizen have the right to see what your government is doing with public money. Economic development deals, tax breaks, who got what and why. That's been the law for decades. In June 2025, they passed a giant budget bill — House Bill 96. Over a thousand pages. And buried inside it, in a section called R.C. 9.66(D), they quietly made ALL economic development records, applications, contracts, who got incentives, how much, completely confidential. Off limits. Not public. And here's the part that should make you mad. It doesn't just seal the records, it makes it a criminal offense for a government employee to even EXPLAIN an economic development application to you or a reporter. Your city council member could face criminal charges for answering your questions. Who passed it? The primary sponsor was Republican Rep. Brian Stewart. The Senate conference committee, the people who put the final version together, included Senators Andrew Brenner, Jerry Cirino, Theresa Gavarone, Terry Johnson, George Lang, Kristina Roegner, and Mark Romanchuk. This isn't abstract. If a company gets a giant tax break to come to your town, you can't know who they are, what they promised, or if they kept their word. And if a government employee tells you? They could be prosecuted. That's not protecting business. That's protecting corruption. Here's what you do right now. 1: go to find YOUR representative, and call or email them asking them to repeal R.C. 9.66(D). 2: share this video. 3: Comment if you had a public records request denied. We're building a case. They did this quietly. The least we can do is be loud.

🚨 Trenton, Ohio got blindsided by a massive data centerand most residents had NO clue until it was basically a done deal. -NDAs. -Eminent domain used for a road. -Emergency zoning rushed through. -Now the power plant/generators are running 24/7. -A local farmer’s daughter planned to build her house on the family land… but giant industrial buildings next door killed that dream. -Noise, disruption, and a changed neighborhood forever. They call it “progress.” Locals call it a sneak attack on our community. Who else is tired of backroom deals?

Yesterday I drove to Columbus to testify before Ohio’s Joint Data Center Committee thinking it was a serious effort to protect Ohio communities. Today I found out several of the members have conflicts of interest. Ohioans are being told this committee exists to provide oversight and protect citizens from the impacts of massive data center development. But look at who is sitting on the committee. One co-chair owns and manages oil and gas companies, well services, and businesses connected to energy infrastructure. Another co-chair runs an industrial contracting company that could potentially benefit from large-scale infrastructure projects. Another member leads a commercial and industrial construction company. Several committee members have received campaign contributions from utility, energy, construction, and power-sector PACs. Meanwhile, these same politicians support policies promoting massive energy expansion for data centers. So here’s my question: How can Ohioans have confidence this committee is independent when so many members have professional, political, or financial ties to industries that stand to benefit from data center growth? I didn’t come to Columbus to participate in political theater. I came because Ohio families have legitimate questions about energy demand, water consumption, environmental impacts, property rights, privacy concerns, and the long-term consequences of building an AI and data center economy across our state. Instead of an independent watchdog, are we looking at a committee designed to reassure the public while the decisions have already been made? Ohioans deserve answers. Ohioans deserve transparency. And Ohioans deserve a committee that represents the public, not the industries that profit from the outcome. Was this committee created to protect Ohio citizens? Or was it created to make us think someone is protecting Ohio citizens? That’s the question I you with today. #Ohio #datacenters #WaterRights #PrivacyMatters #energybills

Standing on ground zero of a data center. Imagine building your dream home… half a mile from your child’s school. Then the land behind you flips to industrial. A data center. Sounds like progress. But for who? Your water. Your power. Your air. Your data. Traded for temporary jobs and permanent risk. No consent. No clear answers. No accountability. We’re saying no.

Ohio legislators want to take a trip abroad. Five star hotel, gala dinners, meetings with foreign government officials. And they need you, the Ohio taxpayer, to pay for it. They wrote a bill, put in a five million dollar price tag, and when people started asking questions they removed the number. They did not remove the trip. They replaced it with four words, "necessary and actual costs." No cap. No limit. Whatever it costs, Ohio pays. But this is bigger than a wasteful trip. Ohio passed a law in 2016 barring state agencies from doing business with any company that boycotts Israel. Ohio created its own foreign policy sanctions framework. And we know it crossed the line because Israel's own Minister of Strategic Affairs wrote personally to the Governor afterward and said, "I sincerely appreciate your contribution." A foreign government directing Ohio state legislation and thanking Ohio officials for compliance. Then there are the bonds. Ohio has purchased three hundred and fifty seven million dollars in Israel Bonds with public funds. How many other foreign countries does Ohio hold bonds with? Germany, Japan, Canada? Zero. Because Ohio law was deliberately written so Israel is the only foreign government whose debt Ohioans can legally fund. The Treasurer said after October 7th, "Now is the time to stand with Israel." That is not a fiduciary protecting Ohio's money. That is a foreign policy official. A role the Constitution does not give him. This is a constitutional emergency. The Supremacy Clause says federal foreign policy is the supreme law of the land. Article One Section Ten prohibits states from entering formal agreements with foreign powers. And the Supreme Court has ruled on this repeatedly. 1941, federal government holds full and exclusive foreign affairs authority. 1968, state laws are unconstitutional the moment they intrude into foreign affairs, even without a conflicting federal statute. 2000, nine to zero, the Court struck down a state running its own foreign policy sanctions, the exact same structure as Ohio's law. Nine justices. Zero dissents. And here is what makes this personal. I am running for Lieutenant Governor. HB 188 names the Lieutenant Governor as a required commission member. If this passes and I am elected, state law compels me to sit on a foreign policy commission the Constitution prohibits Ohio from operating. That is not a political conflict. That is a constitutional conflict. I served as Lieutenant Governor of this state. The job is to protect Ohio. Not foreign governments. Ohio. This bill must not pass. And if it does, it will be challenged in federal court immediately, based on eighty five years of Supreme Court precedent that already says Ohio cannot do this. No matter where you stand on the war, this is bigger than the war. The Constitution is not optional. And Ohio is not a country. Vote Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor to stop wasteful spending.

1/4 Ohio — House Bill 290 (Atmosphere Protection Act) could BAN geoengineering, solar radiation modification, and cloud seeding in our state. It makes these activities a 3rd-degree felony: mandatory prison time + up to $500,000 fine. No more experimental weather tech in Ohio skies. 2/4 I’ve traveled across Ohio and seen a clear divide: Some say it’s just contrails and nothing’s happening (even near Wright-Patterson). Others highlight 70+ years of U.S. weather modification history, with 9 states still running active cloud seeding programs. The September 16, 2025 House Oversight hearing “Playing God with the Weather – A Disastrous Forecast” covered exactly this. 3/4 EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has acknowledged legitimate public questions on these issues and pushed for transparency. HB 290 is stalled in the House Natural Resources Committee. If you want to protect Ohio’s air and families, email now: → Sponsor Rep. Tom Young: [email protected] → Committee Chair Monica Robb Blasdel: [email protected] 4/4 Simple message: “Please move House Bill 290 forward to protect Ohio’s atmosphere!” Takes 60 seconds via forms. Drop HB290 in the comments if you emailed. Like, repost & share to wake up Ohio! Full hearing: Dr. Pielke testimony: #HB290 #Geoengineering #CloudSeeding #Ohio #WeatherModification Do we need this Ohio? Comment and let me know!!!

I started digging into the rapid expansion of hyperscale data centers and energy projects in Ohio and what I found raised serious questions about transparency, public oversight, and who these deals are really benefiting. JobsOhio was created in 2011 and funded through the state’s liquor enterprise revenue, billions generated from public assets. Yet it operates as a private nonprofit that is not subject to traditional open-records laws. Today, Ohio is being marketed as “deployment ready” for hyperscale data centers, massive facilities that require constant, industrial-scale electricity and water usage. To support that demand, new energy infrastructure is being proposed across the state, including advanced nuclear projects like Oklo in Pike County. Policy changes like Ohio Senate Bill 52 shifted how energy siting decisions are handled at the local level, while utilities such as American Electric Power have proposed new tariffs and grid upgrades to support the surge in data center demand. Communities across Ohio are raising concerns about farmland loss, water usage, electricity costs, and the lack of early public input before these deals are shaped. Regardless of where you stand on development, one thing should be non-negotiable: Transparency. Accountability. And a real voice for the people of Ohio. Public resources and infrastructure should serve the public first. Decisions that shape our land, our water, and our power grid should not happen behind closed doors. If you care about your community, your property, and your future, now is the time to start asking questions and paying attention.

1/ Maine just hit pause on giant AI data centers. Why hasn’t Ohio? The Maine House passed a bill to temporarily ban new large data centers — anything 20 megawatts or bigger — until November 2027. That’s enough power for over 15,000 homes each. They want time to study the impact on the electricity grid, water usage, and the environment. 2/ Electricity bills have already increased significantly in recent years. Local towns have pushed back against these projects. Maine is saying: we need to understand the consequences before allowing more development. They’ve acknowledged there’s not enough information yet on the long-term impact of these massive facilities. 3/ When the data is incomplete, the smart move is to pause and evaluate. Ohio’s legislature has the same ability — and has already acknowledged gaps in understanding the long-term impacts. A temporary pause would let us do the proper analysis before more expansion. 4/ This comes down to priorities: Protecting residents, keeping energy costs in check, and safeguarding natural resources… …versus accelerating large-scale development without full transparency. 5/ Should Ohio follow Maine’s lead and pause large data centers too? What do you think — smart caution or missed opportunity? Comment below. 👇 Vote Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor on May 5!
