John Kasich Times http://www.truthaboutkasich.com Mon, 12 Jan 2001 08:00:00 EST Kasich made a lot of money working for Lehman Brothers. How much? We don't know because, as the Columbus Dispatch reported in January 2009, Kasich refused to release his tax returns and has not committed to releasing them in the future. "Kasich will likely be asked by reporters to divulge his tax returns, as most other recent gubernatorial candidates. Kasich won’t do it now and didn’t commit to doing it." http://www.dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/01/12/copy/kasich.ART_ART_01-12-09_A1_5RCGBMH.html?sid=101 Sun, 16 Sep 2001 08:00:00 EST In 2001, the New York Observer interviewed John Kasich from his corner office at Lehman Brothers’ New York City headquarters. The Observer reported that Kasich "commutes a few times a month from Columbus, Ohio, where he lives . . . and tucks into Lehman Brother's corner office to talk about mergers and acquisitions in the health-care space." http://www.observer.com/node/44953 Sun, 16 Sep 2001 08:00:00 EST The collapse of the giant investment bank, Lehman Brothers, kicked off the largest financial crisis since the Great Depression and John Kasich was a managing director when it all happened. Here’s how a New York Observer article on him back in 2001 starts: "Lehman Brothers managing director John Kasich kicks back in the plush leather chair in his corner office high atop 3 World Financial Center and starts weighing in on his latest investment-banking deal. 'It's a small company in the health-care space,' he says. 'Today, we set up a call with the C.E.O. and C.F.O. Tomorrow, I'll be pitching them with our senior banker in Columbus. It's a private placement that will lead to an I.P.O. We are down to the eighth or ninth inning.' In his power blue suit, with a snappy little cell phone attached to his belt, the 49-year-old Mr. Kasich certainly looks like an investment banker." http://www.observer.com/node/44953
