STEUBENVILLE, Ohio - About 100 demonstrators have gathered outside the eastern Ohio school where Gov. John Kasich is giving his State of the State address.
Some of the protesters gathered Tuesday oppose the use of a new oil and gas drilling technique and others support the Occupy movement.
Locked-out Cooper Tire & Rubber worker and steelworker's union member Shane Hanley says he showed up to "let the governor know we ain't forgotten what he did last year."
Kasich is expected to highlight education and shale gas drilling in the speech at Wells Academy elementary school in Steubenville.
The speech also is a chance for him to reconnect with voters after last year's bitter campaign over public worker union limits. A law that would have set the limits was repealed by voters in November.
