Poor Larry Householder. He carried out a $60 million dollar political bribery, $1.3 billion dollar bailout felony racketeering scheme that fleeced and robbed millions of Ohioans, but really he’s the victim. The media reporting on his crimes are the villains. This is so stupid.
Jake Zuckerman@jake_zuckerman

Ohio House Rep. Brett Hillyer wrote a letter to a judge seeking a lighter sentence for Householder. "It has been painfully obvious that some in the media are using their political opposition to Mr. Householder to agitate and muddy the waters against him."

Reasons to #VoteNoInAugust ⬇️ 📢Issue 1 would end majority rule: 40% of voters veto the will of 60% of voters for citizen initiatives 📢Issue 1 takes away freedoms we've had since 1912 📢Issue 1 gives special interests the winning advantage ow.ly/blSa50OKo2v

The Illinois billionaire attacking Ohio majority voter authority also funded attempts to overturn the 2020 election and helped bankroll Jan. 6. This is the definition of out-of-state special interests attacking our constitution. By @JohanekMarilou ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/05/02/ill…

In a continuing effort to stop legislators from reinstating an August election this year, opponents quoted Ohio's Secretary of State, who just last year, supported the removal of unneeded August elections. By @susantebben ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/04/28/opp…

The Ohio House Constitutional Resolutions Committee is planning for a potential vote on SJR2, the Senate version of the 60% voter threshold to approve constitutional amendments, on Tuesday 5/2. Surely, announcing this at 4:47PM on a Friday is purely coincidental.

Ohio has 11.7 million residents and somehow, the Governor felt the best person for a cushy bureaucratic job is the wife of a State Senator from the same party. Then the State Senator openly celebrates it. No wonder everyone thinks #Ohio is wildly corrupt!
Senator Jay Hottinger, Ret.@JayHottinger

The Governor's office announced he is appointing Cheri to the Industrial Commission of Ohio. She will be 1 of 3 commissioners at the IC which is the final jurisdiction on all workers compensation cases. We are excited about her new opportunity to serve Ohioans. @GovMikeDeWine

Former OH Gov. Bob Taft, a Republican: Don’t do an August special election, and definitely don’t do one to raise the threshold for constitutional amendments

Reminder that just FOUR MONTHS AGO the entire legislative GOP - backed back Frank LaRose - voted to get rid of most August elections bc of abysmal voter turnout and cost to BOEs. But now that it means using one to silence the voice of the people? Just fine! Such bullshit.
Haley BeMiller@haleybemiller

A House committee just amended HJR 1 to reflect that the question would go on the Aug. 8 ballot. Both the House and Senate resolutions could be voted out of committee this week. They’re slightly different, so it’s unclear which version they’d go with.

Toledo Blade Editorial It is politically reckless for Ohio Republican cabal to use a low-turnout special August election to upend 111 years of constitutional authority for citizen-driven electoral approved amendments to the state’s governing document. toledoblade.com/opinion/editor…

Dear @FrankLaRose why can't I get a voter registration form at McDonald's? If it was legal when Senator Brown was Secretary of State, then the legality can't be a concern for you. So what's stopping you?
Sherrod Brown@SherrodBrown

When I was Secretary of State, we set up voter registration sites in high schools, food banks, in the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. I even asked McDonald's to print voter registration forms on their tray liners. Bottom line: We should be making it easier—not harder—to vote.

This would enshrine extremist rule by giving a 41% minority of voters and a gerrymandered Republican supermajority legislature authority over all Ohioans on every issue no matter what a majority of sensible Ohioans actually want.

Editor Commentary: The strategy to end abortion rights in Ohio is wildly obvious. Manufacture hysteria with a slippery slope legal fallacy about parents rights, and manipulate all levers of power against voters to benefit right-wing extremists @DC_DeWitt ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/03/23/the…

Is 'keeping kids off social media' and 'short-staffing situations' a reason to have 14-15 year olds be able to work until 9pm during the school year? Some Ohio legislators think so - columbusunderground.com/relaxed-child-…
