Ohio is voting on......................

 

............a proposed amendment to our State's constitution.  The question being asked in this special election (it is the only issue on the ballot) is should we make it more difficult to amend the constitution.  The amendment would raise the threshold for passage of a constitutional amendment from 50.01% to 60%.   Reasonable people might conclude that it should be difficult to amend a constitution.  Reasonable people might also conclude that the Ohio legislature has a history of embarrassing itself, and we the people deserve the right to pull on their chain from time to time.  My recommendation would be, if you are eligible, vote.  The process, at least in Licking County, is painless and easy.  Vote.
