Statewide Ballot Issues
Because every fire begins with a small spark.
She must be reading the blogs on her Blackberry while in council meetings, because she's definitely heard everything that we've been saying about the underhanded attempt to put gambling on the ballot.
Aside from being a campaign of lies, she's also found a few potential technicalities that have been violated:
This is by far the best thing Leslie Ghiz has done since taking office (perhaps of anyone on council this term) and she is actually doing it as a civilian.
I'm not sure what the results of the lawsuit will be. One thing I do know though: A lot of good will come of this.

Leslie Ghiz Tries to Take Down Earn & BurnWhether it's a personal vendetta or a fight to insure a clean Democratic process in Ohio, Leslie Ghiz is saving the day by filing suit against the dirtiest campaign in the business, Ohio Learn and Earn.She must be reading the blogs on her Blackberry while in council meetings, because she's definitely heard everything that we've been saying about the underhanded attempt to put gambling on the ballot.
Aside from being a campaign of lies, she's also found a few potential technicalities that have been violated:
The lawsuit also says that FieldWorks, a company hired to manage the signature collections, failed to register with the secretary of state as a company doing business in Ohio. It also says that the petitions incorrectly say FieldWorks is paying for the ballot drive, rather than Ohio Learn and Earn.

I know, and I'm sorry.

Missed the post due to all the Hackett/Brown stuff yesterday. 
Andrew Warner always has a personal ax to grind.  I just thought his take was interesting.  Ghiz has asked for a TRO, so I wonder how that will go with signature gathering still going on.  I think the same company is gathering signatures for the workers' comp referendum.  I hope she's wrong about the irregularities.  That would be the kiss of death for that very much needed referendum.
Too keep things straight

this forum post is a redux of one from yesterday - Gee Ghiz
and Warner has his own personal axe to grind that someone should ask him about.
