I hope they don’t vot it down. That would only serve to bolster and embolden Team Obama thru next November.
This is, after all, the LAT, so taken with a grain of salt.
From what I see, it will be about 60/40 to retain Kashich's program.
Go you Buckeyes.
I suspect Senate Bill 5 will be repealed, unfortunately. I’m confident that several parts of the law will be passed as separate bills; had the components of SB5 been passed singly in the first place, there would never had been a referendum drive to have it repealed.
the la times wonders why in a few years they will
have to stop publishing their paper.
This is Issue 2 on our ballot and it will likely be defeated. There have been radio and tv ads running non-stop for weeks telling people to vote NO. All of the ads make people believe that they will not have police or firemen available when they have an emergency. The pro-issue 2 backers have done nothing to combat this. People are simply not properly informed about the issue.
If you do a Google search on - voting ohio issue 2 - there are three paid ads at the top of the page. All three are to vote no on issue 2. One of the ads is a link that goes to: oh.barackobama.com/no-on-issue-2
I know two votes of yes in this house.I so far have heard no one except those who are far left want to dump it that and all of the public union members but I repeat myself...
I’m not in Ohio, but I think the media folks may well be in for a suprise this week.
This is a money issue for the voters, and I can’t see the frugal side of the issue losing, particularly by the margins that these polls are suggesting it will be.
Austerity is pretty popular with the general public, and not just conservatives.
States that want to embrace the destructiveness of Unions and big government = HUGE, billion dollar opportunities for other states who disdain the same.
Why can’t they see this PLAIN AS DAY truth?
Evidently they like paying high taxes.
Why are whites up north historically more socially leftist than down south?
Immigration sources or religion or industry
Kick those cracker lefties out yall
So it’s pretty much agreed that it’s a good and needed law, just looks like a political miscalculation and overreach by not targeting only part of the public union population at a time?
What is this? Some sort of Jedi mind trick? Don’t fall for it Ohioans. These ARE the droids you are looking for.
Driving through Ohio, it doesn’t take long to see the damage that unions and their Democrat enablers have done. The defeat of Issue 2 will be just another nail in the coffin. The right-to-work states are looking better and better as each day passes.
The talking heads are wrong about what has happened in Ohio with this law. It will give them little “clue” about shifting trends.
The law over-reached. That’s it in a nutshell.
Had it simply dealt with the rational need of the state to be involved in pay and pension discussions, then it would pass easily.
Instead, the legislature in Ohio got down in the weeds and brought in seniority regulations, worker evaluation regulations, classroom management regulations, firehouse management regulations, etc., etc. The law itself went way too far and was designed, in my opinion, to cause extreme reaction so it would be challenged.
I put that in the lap of the Rinos controlling the legislature, particularly those like Sen Niehaus who wouldn’t recognize the truth if it sent him a photo album and paid regular visits. The guy is the consummate chameleon who Ohio desperately needs to have replaced.
Kasich was not well served by his “republican” majority, and he would do well to realize that many are not friends of less spending. After all, the mess in Ohio — high taxes, over-spending, cronism — has been directed by a legislature that has in most years been Republican controlled. Need we mention REPUBLICAN Gov Taft’s pleading guilty to being part of a scheme milking the budget for crony (personal?) gain. Everybody remember the state “investing” in “coins” and those coins disappearing and no one knowing where they went?
The corruption in this state is staggering, and it goes totally unmentioned.
