League of Women Voters urges vote against Issues 2 and 3
The Tiffin Area League of Women Voters is urging a “no” vote for state ballot issues 2 and 3. Both are proposed constitutional amendments. Issue 2 would create the Ohio Livestock Standards Board and set forth its composition and duties. Passage of Issue 3 would authorize casinos in four Ohio cities — Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo. The bipartisan board that would be established by Issue 2 would consist of 13 members who are designated by their position. The board would have authority to establish standards governing the care and well-being of livestock and poultry in Ohio, subject only to the authority of the General Assembly. Some people are opposed to Issue 2, feeling the board should be created by statute rather than by amendment to the Ohio Constitution. They also argue Ohio doesn’t need another regulatory board that would use revenues best spent on basic services for Ohio citizens.
