we want no on that
Official Argument and Explanation for Issue 2
Vote YES on Issue 2
A YES vote on Issue 2 will make long overdue reforms to unfair and
costly government employment practices in Ohio, while helping to get
government spending under control and making government more
accountable to taxpayers.
Your YES vote on Issue 2 will:
Protect Good Teachers and Improve Our Schools
Issue 2 keeps the best teachers in the classroom by ending the
unfair practice of seniority-based layoffs, which forces struggling
schools to cut many of our best teachers first.
Issue 2 returns control of our schools to taxpayers by bringing
increased transparency to teacher contract negotiations.
Issue 2 enables schools to retain and reward good teachers by
allowing them to base pay raises on job performance.
Restore Balance and Ensure Fairness
Issue 2 ensures that government employees receive quality health
care, but asks them to pay a mere 15% of their health insurance
coverage, which is still less than half of what the average private
sector worker pays (31%).
Issue 2 asks government employees to make a fair contribution
(10%) to their taxpayer funded retirement plans instead of requiring
taxpayers to provide these pension benefits for free. Many private
sector workers get no retirement benefits at all.
Issue 2 allows good job performance to be considered when
awarding pay raises to government employees. Private sector
workers earn their paychecks by doing a good job, and so should
government employees.
Get Spending Under Control, Retain Jobs, and Protect Taxpayers
Issue 2 will save our communities millions of dollars annually,
helping them balance their budgets and retain jobs.
Issue 2 will protect taxpayers by giving them the right to reject
unaffordable government employment contracts.
“Issue 2 is the right change at the right time”
