State Sen. Nina Turner said (Gov. John) Kasich told her "I don't need your people" when she complained about the lack of diversity in his administration. That prompted the Cleveland Democrat to unleash this scathing attack.

"Through his actions and deeds, Gov. Kasich has declared that Ohio is open for business, but if you are African-American you need not apply," said Turner.

Turner and members of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus complain that Kasich has appointed no minorities to serve in his cabinet or senior staff.

Now the group is threatening a lawsuit.

"We want 100 percent transparency as to who has applied for these positions, what they have applied for and reasons as to why these people have not been qualified to work in his administration," said Turner.

Rep. Sandra Williams said minorities make up nearly 20 percent of the states population and that should be reflected in the governors office.
