what people are saying

Backers of Ohio’s proposal to bring Las Vegas-style casinos to Ohio are trumpeting the large number of signatures they’ve collected, but a new YouTube video raises new questions about how many of those signatures were gathered. Much like an earlier video that prompted a Youngstown judge to take the unprecedented step of issuing a TRO that ordered the liars to stop lying, this one contains a string of whoppers from circulators eager to get people to sign. One says the petition is about the environment (it’s not). Another says it would not change the state’s constitution (it would). One even says that Athens, Ohio, is in line for a casino. Ohio law makes it a fifth-degree felony to misrepresent the contents of a ballot proposal for the purpose of inducing someone to sign a petition. To get on the November ballot, pro-casino forces must collect valid signatures from 402,275 registered voters.
