However, even if the measure passes, it could face opposition from the state legislature. Because it is an initiated statute, it could be modified or repealed by Ohio lawmakers. Gov. Mike DeWine ( R ) has previously stated that he does not support legalized marijuana.
That fucking ghoul better not touch it if it passes.
I hope you are right but I'm not convinced they think that they made a mistake with issue 1. I know LaRose is trying to save face but all I've heard is blah blah blah, outside influence, and they needed more time to get the message out. They have to know, right?
That's just what they're putting into public statements. They know they fucked up. Even if you go along with their bullshit lines, they failed to protect the state from "outside interests", which from what I can tell just means "city folk".
Frank wants to run against Sherrod next year for Senator (or so I've heard), but now he's going to have a tougher primary because of this. This was supposed to be his major accomplishment to tout, but now he looks like he doesn't know what Ohioans want and can't get things passed.
