My brother-in-law just told me about this this past weekend. I wasn’t even aware of it. Most of my sisters (I have three) and brothers-in-laws are fed up with this state and want to get out. Ohio used to be a really great state. I don’t understand what’s happening. I suppose the state’s constitution is the constitution and, therefore, will have to be amended (talk about being picky though). I suppose the people of Ohio will have to continue to go out of state. I see so many people wasting money on the lottery. You have better odds playing slots. At least most times, you can win enough to keep playing for a little while. Ohio used to have such a good government. We’ll have to keep pressing on. :-) I voted against the slots issue last November (even though I enjoy playing them) for the sole reason that I did not want people to count on that for education dollars.
I dunno about that statement we used to have a good government-at least not where the governor is concerned-they’ve been getting progressively worse in my lifetime, regardless of party-Rhodes, Gilligan, Voinovich, and, to top it all off, Taft, the absolute worst one EVER for the state, and he and his Rockefeller ‘country club’ group-Petro, sweaty Betty, Noe,etc; have screwed the party here for probably decades. But, guv aside, I agree the REST of our elected officials were better, for the most part, because other than taxes, they pretty much left you alone at least. Taft got more left wing crap passed than any democrat could,including outrageous taxes. Engler started putting nails in Michigans’ coffin, and Grandhole is finishing the job.
