When Gov. John Kasich put his name to paper yesterday, it was Micah Hetrick who dotted the "i."

Hetrick, 23, of Dublin, has Down syndrome. But after graduating from Dublin Scioto High School and Project SEARCH, a training and employment program for people with disabilities that originated in Cincinnati, he works at Sam’s Club making $8.50 an hour.
