If the (not so) Swifties are behind the "Vote NO on 2-3-4-5",

they've lost their touch . . . these commercials seem actually to be human . . . and not working . . .

How do you feel about Issue #1 ?

I'm not sure.

and read it . . .

It's a great idea but the repugs will gobble up the grants and waste the funds....that is a hypothetical scenario that has high probability.

per the "against" argument on the SOS site. (funny that the Pro/cheerleader/could have been the text of the TV spots didn't even have any signatories?!)

my analogy to present to my mother: you have a kid in college with a gambling problem (coingate), who has maxed out all his credit on cash advances, and wants you to cosign additional credit== "I PROMISE it will only go for book, lab fees and legit expenses!" But the kid not only has his fingers crossed (exemption from requirement that the money go where it's supposed to), but he socked away some money to cover all the real expenses and anything you give him will be gravy (the against argument said that they still have $240 mill in the infrastructure improvement area, and weren't planning on asking for more money til 2009 == so why the rush to approve additional state bonds this year? To stick something positive/seemingly necessary in with the failed Third Frontier crap)

The only reason this doesn't raise taxes is that they are making the bonds due 30 years from now, so the next generation gets stuck with the bill.

Sorry this answer/opinion is too late to make much difference, I checked this out belatedly, since I was against it on principle once I found out that they'd just put lipstick on the 3rd Frontier pig.

NW Ohio. Funny how they say that voting yes allows big money to flow in, when it's exactly the opposite.

I agree. When I saw and heard news media against issues 2-5, I wondered if one reason is they receive tons of money at election time. To limit spending and clean up Ohio politics would limit their cash cows at election time. I think they want big money to flow in.
