Tomorrow is Election Day in Ohio. I’ve taken the time to research most of the issues. I only feel strongly about Issue #3 – Casino Gambling.
While the drafting of the proposal is less than desired, the Ohio politicians have been inactive on the issue and have missed an opportunity.
The legislature has time and time again refused to address the issue, and have left it up to the voters.
If they had a better solution than a measure that rewrites the Ohio constitution then they should have offered it.
I have serious concerns about the logic behind the “NO on #3” position. They argue that the casino jobs won’t go to Ohio workers. Are workers going to commute from Vegas and Atlantic City?
All of the neighboring states, except KY, offer gambling. Ohio needed to do something to stop the money exodus.
The fact that the Catholic Church came out against the measure on moral grounds is hypocritical.
The church has festivals with more gambling options than any casino could match.
The church also offers weekly bingo games.
Most Ohio bars offer keno and every gas station sells lottery tickets.
Ohio people will gamble.
Let’s gamble in Ohio.
I know I will spend my gambling dollars in Ohio, especially at a smoke-free facility.
The pundits are predicting a 35% voter turnout.
How sad that we have the right to vote, but do not exercise it.
No matter your position on the issues, let your voice be heard and vote on Tuesday.

Well Happy New Year to all you Ohioan's & Best wishes to all!

Hello Ohio, I see no one has been to this site...so now is my chance to blabber meaningless whatevers.
Florida is beautiful, wonderful weather...sorry about yours.I am sure the river will now rise and cause some headache. Mother Nature can be such a bitch.
I do love the smell of Ohio. It has a black earthy smell. I love the springtime when the light green buds are appearing on the trees, likelace on the earth.I even like the bold colors of Cincinnati!(getting a little sick of pastels)
In prase of Florida, we do have Oceanfront concerts on the beach.A beautiful breeze, some great music and hotdogs or pizza. Hey life ain't too bad here. See ya in June for grandsons graduations! Patty
