Former Ohio Governor Bob Taft on making it harder for voters to pass ballot measures: "It's like they're trying to rush through almost in the dark of night."

Update: 2023-05-08

Description

In this episode of the 21 News Podcast, Madison Tromler speaks with former Republican Ohio Governor Bob Taft on why he's joined a chorus of voices, including several other prominent Republicans, who want to stop Ohio lawmakers from making it harder for voters to pass ballot measures. Taft says changing the rule, which has been in place for more than a century, would be expensive and unnecessary and would water down Ohioans right to vote on matters that impact their lives.
