Red State
Given that just a few short years ago (pre-market meltdown) Ohio’s taxpayers were on the hook for $46.5 billion due to its underfunded retirement system, one would think that November 8th’s decision to Vote YES on Issue 2 would be a no brainer.
After all, if you’ve got a system where union bosses have been able to put every single Ohio citizen (now) $6150 in debt, why would you want to keep it?
Moreover, if you’ve successfully ridden yourself of the system, why would you want to return to it?
Yet, that’s the issue that Ohioans have to decide when they go to the polls on November 8th to vote on Issue 2: Do Ohio’s taxpayers really want to dive back into the soup bowl only to serve themselves up to union bosses (again)?
