==History==
Since 1940 fiscal conservatism has been a hallmark of Ohio leaders, including such Republicans governors as John Bricker, Thomas Herbert, and C. William O’Neill, as well as some Democrats, notably Martin Davey and Frank Lausche. Especially in the small towns and cities voters expressed low-tax, low-spending and pro-business sentiments.
Michael V. DiSalle, a Democrat elected in 1958, tried to convert Ohio to high spending, but failed of reelection after one term.<ref> Richard G. Zimmerman, ''Call Me Mike: A Political Biography of Michael V. DiSalle'' (2003) </ref>
