Vice President JD Vance Celebrates Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ in Canton, Ohio
In a show of solidarity with American labor, Vice President JD Vance visited Canton, Ohio, yesterday, where he extolled the virtues of President Donald J. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. This legislation is heralded as a transformative step forward, promising the largest tax cut in history for working- and middle-class Americans. The bill aims to lower energy costs, enhance Medicaid, bolster border security, and incentivize U.S.-based companies to expand operations domestically.

“The big, beautiful bill was a game changer, especially the no tax on overtime provision and the full expensing of capital investments,” said Metallus CEO Mike Williams. “These measures empower companies like ours to invest, grow and support families across the country.”
Steelworkers present at Vance’s address expressed optimism, with one worker, Cody Swanson, proclaiming, “If it makes us grow profitable, more money, let’s do it. Let’s make this country great.”
Legislative Impact and Local Reactions

“The legislation allows companies to get tax breaks faster, which Vance argues could incentivize U.S. production. The administration has also been signaling potential tariffs on foreign products, a move factory worker Justin Rice believes could bolster American labor.
“It really projects the hope and the optimism that the administration is pushing,” Rice commented. “We produce steel not just for the military but also for the automotive and oil industries; it’s crucial to source steel domestically rather than relying on imports.”
Political Endorsements of the Bill

Stark County Commissioner Richard Regula praised the tax cuts and incentives, emphasizing that the policy to limit taxes on overtime will benefit local workers. “That’s going to put extra money in people’s pockets that they’ll spend in Stark County.”
Commissioner Bill Smith also endorsed tariff policies, asserting they would benefit local manufacturers like Metallus. “Getting these jobs back in this country is the most critical issue,” he remarked. He further acknowledged the necessity of extending federal income tax cuts, stating, “Once you get used to that, how do you go back?”
State Senator Jane Timken highlighted that the legislation prioritizes American workers, predicting significant local impact, “Stark County reflects the broader national landscape, with a robust industrial base that requires overtime and relies heavily on tips.”
