Tell us: What are your questions about Issue 1 on the August ballot?

Former Ohio Gov. Bob Taft will join former state legislator and longtime Columbus Dispatch Editor Michael Curtin in Dayton on June 27 for a bipartisan discussion hosted by the League of Women Voters of the Greater Dayton Area, centered on the potential impacts of August’s historic Issue 1 vote.

Issue 1 is a proposed amendment to make it harder to amend the state constitution by requiring approval from 60% of voters in order to grant passage, up from the simple majority threshold that has been in place for over 100 years. Issue 1 would also make it harder to get an initiated amendment on the ballot by significantly raising the amount of signatures that need to be collected.
