EUCLID, Ohio - Gov. John Kasich just finished speaking at Lincoln Electric, where the company announced it was moving 200 new welding jobs to the area. Lincoln is receiving $10.25 million in total incentives from the Kasich administration to move equipment from Maryland, buy new equipment, and train workers.

Today was also Kasich's first public remarks since delivering his second State of the State address in Steubenville on Tuesday. Here's what the governor had to say:

• On his new war on human trafficking, which he declared Tuesday: "It's a big issue. It's going to involve things that are kind of counter intuitive. I don't want to get into it now, but we have to make sure that people who are caught  in this trade are not treated as criminals, and that we look at them as victims and act appropriately. Because if you cannot get the victims to be able to come forward and be able to talk about the circumstance and put the finger on the people who are the ones behind this industry, you won't make the progress."  Kasich, as he said Tuesday, said there are 1,000 Ohio children in the "sex slave trade" business. "I think we have to have the highway patrol engage in the human trafficking fight the same way they've been engaging in the drug fight against prescription drugs and drugs overall. We're going to have to pass some legislation."

• Kasich said he wasn't speaking to anyone in particular when he urged lawmakers to "steer clear of mindless partisanship" on Tuesday. "It's always important at an event like that for people to realize we're all on the same team, even when at times we might wear different uniforms." When Kasich was told there were Democrats who took exception to his call for bi-partisanship and accused him of ignoring their proposals on jobs, moratoriums related to fracking, and other issues, he responded: "What you know is, every time you do a State of the Union or a State of the State, it's always going to be back and forth. I pay no attention to it. That's not what really matters. I had some meetings before the State of the State about some things we can work on, and of course I've encouraged Democrats to try to support Mayor (Frank) Jackson up here (in Cleveland) in the education reform plan that he's pushing. But no, it doesn't mean you're always going to get along and you're always going to agree. For example, with the moratorium on fracking, we're never going to do that, we're not going to do that. But that doesn't mean there aren't other things."   

• Kasich said he would issue an executive order, possibly Thursday, related to workforce development. No more details on that one.
