Local Demos Oppose May Ballot Issues
Middletown Democratic Club members voted last night to oppose both Issue 1 and Issue 2 the proposed Ohio Bond Commission and reapportionment amendment on the May primary ballot. David L. Smith said Democrats oppose reappointment as it is seen as biased gerrymandering and favor state Supreme Court redistricting. The group also opposed the bond commission arguing it would place undue power in any party and permit abuse for expediency. They called county elections unnecessary and expensive. Mrs. Edna Fath cited Secretary of State Ted Brown ordering the board to proceed with election until told otherwise and noted the state may cover county voting costs next month.
