What is wrong with Issue 2

ISSUE 2 is a ballot issue that will be voted on May 6th. IT IS A CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT AUTHORIZING OHIO TO ISSUE GENERAL OBLIGATOIN BONDS TO 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS.

WHY VOTE NO?

NOT NEEDED

• ARTICLE VIII SECTION 2 ALREADY HAS INFRASTRUCTURE BOND SECTIONS, THIS IS A NEW AMENDMENT, NOT A RENEWAL SO NOT NEEDED.

• CITIZENS ALREADY PAY FOR LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE VIA LEVIES TOWNSHIP & COUNTY. STATE INFRASTRUCTURE IS PAID BY 38 CENT GAS TAX. FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE PAID BY 18.5 CENT GAS TAX

MANIPULATION

• ISSUE 2 WAS QUIETLY PUT ON THE BALLOT WITHOUT INFORMING THE PUBLIC. WHY AN OFF-ELECTION PRIMARY WHERE TURNOUT IS LOW?

• WHO ISSUES THE BONDS, WHO MANAGES THE BONDS, WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE? - VOTE NO!

• ISSUE 2 IS NOT ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE, IT IS ABOUT BONDS WHICH SHOULD BE FUNDED BY LEGISLATION AND BE PART OF THE OHIO GENERAL FUND

MESSES WITH THE OHIO CONSTITUTION

• A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IS DIFFICULT TO CORRECT OR CHANGE ONCE ADOPTED

ISSUE 2 IS A HUGE SLUSH FUND THAT IS FRAUGHT WITH HIGH POTENTIAL FOR CORRUPTION

VOTE NO FOR ISSUE 2
