Four bipartisan former Ohio governors — Bob Taft, John Kasich, Dick Celeste, and Ted Strickland — are all against making it harder for Ohio voters to pass constitutional amendments, as well as an August election for the 60% threshold proposal.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
Later Monday, Cleveland.com reported that former Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Democratic governors Dick Celeste and Ted Strickland have also all now spoken out against the proposal. The Ohio Senate has already signed off on their threshold resolution, SJR 2, and the bill to establish August special elections. In the House, the threshold resolution, HJR 1, has passed committee and is awaiting a hearing on the floor.
Taking a swipe at Ohio’s current Secretary, Taft added, “I concur with current Secretary of State Frank LaRose when he declared ‘August special elections aren’t good for the taxpayer, elections officials, voters or the civic health of our state.’” “It is especially bad public policy to revive the August special election for the purpose of voting on such a consequential constitutional amendment as SJR 2 or HJR 1 which would fundamentally change Ohioans’ voting and constitutional rights,” Taft wrote.
During Taft’s administration, he championed two such bond initiatives and knows just how precarious that path can prove.
