Protesters gather outside of Ohio gov.'s State of the State address

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio --

As Ohio Gov. John Kasich gave his annual State of the State address inside Wells Academy on Tuesday, at least 200 protesters gathered outside for what they called the "State of the 99 Percent Rally."

Protesters had a number of messages for the governor including concerns like jobs, the economy, education, drilling and the effects drilling could have on the environment.

Many of the protesters were from the Youngstown area, but others came from across the state. State Rep. Robert Hagan, a Democrat from Youngstown, led the rally and gathered at least two busloads of people to make the trip from his area.
