Thanks interesting website. Now let's look at the big picture. Northeast Ohio 171 bil. southwest Ohio 141bil. Central Ohio 100 bil. not even close. Unlike Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati are part of larger metro/regions.. And Columbus has Newark, Marysville and corn..

This isn't arbitrary or even a decision made by local politicians or residents; the Census Bureau designates metropolitan areas based on commuting patterns. Growth in outer counties is usually due to sprawl, but these residents are still being employed within the larger region.

It's 3rd or 4th, pretty much where it is for all Ohio cities. Indeed, on a national scale, Columbus' % of government jobs is smack dab in the middle of average.
We're not talking about Federal government jobs, which these types of cities are going to have regardless of where they're located, or local government jobs, which is of course a local decision and not dependent on money from other parts of the state. You're trying to shift the goalposts here, the point I'm making is in regards to state-supported government jobs, which are a huge part of Columbus' economy and are a net loss for Cincinnati and Cleveland. The only point here, which is the point I've been making all along, is that Cincinnati and Cleveland do not receive a net benefit from sending money to Columbus for government operations and both would be better off if they kept more of their own money and decision-making power as the political center of their own respective regions.

I'd gladly post such nighttime satellite pictures once again, but to what avail? Many Ohio C-D posters have seen these photos of CIN-DAY and NEO and comprehend their significance. Nevertheless, those who might benefit the most are a few fanatical CENTRAL OHIO posters entrapped in their own penthouses of delusion and denial. These few individuals will literally die fighting anyone over the truth of even the night sky...so why bother?

No, but that's really your assessment of state government based on a single metric: public tax dollar distribution. It's not mine.

Why are you comparing a metro with 2 regions?
