.99 precincts reporting....
After seeing early returns from Mahoning County that Issue 3 is passing 51 / 49, I fear that this horrible issue is going to pass.
@danielsdad I fear it too. I don't think anyone realizes all the things wrong with this proposal. There are too many people out there who are voting for this for the wrong reason. It's not about the jobs, the casinos, or the money. It's about protecting the Ohio Constitution from misuse. It's a framework for a government, not meant to be laden with detailed specifics that enforce a gambling monopoly and prevent local governments from enforcing their laws on casino property. It's quite scary, honestly.
I agree Mark.The lottery was supposed to be a boon to our schools too.These jobs they speak of won't be here and won't be high paying and the lion 's share will leave the state.They focused on hurting and gullible folks.
Bigben, mark, I will bet that all the lottery funds that were destined to be a bonus for education are going to education. But just like in Florida, your representatives took it on themselves to take funds that were designated for education and blow them on useless crap because after all, we have the lottery to take care of education! I could be wrong but I wouldn't bet on it!
