As many of you know one of the most important issues on the ballot anywhere in the country this fall is State issue 2 in Ohio. This issue aims to repeal the union busting bill, Senate Bill 5. Opponents of SB-5 successfully raised 1.3 million signatures to get this on the ballot this year and in doing so rebuked John Kasich and his cohorts.
So now as might be expected, money is pouring in from out of State to confuse the issue and rescue John Kasich from his own folly.
But check this out. We Are Ohio, the labor backed campaign to defeat SB-5 put a very effective add on the air recently that apparently was a little too effective. So the corporate interests trying defend union busting have literally stolen portion of the add and used it as their own, trying of course to confuse voters and win the day. In the process they have used the voice and image of Marlene Quinn, a Cincinnati great grandmother against her own wishes.
