100 Years Fight to Put Medina Charter on Ballot
Kathie Jones of Sustain able Medina County says the struggle continues to place the Medina County Charter initiative before voters. She notes women won the vote a century ago but now advocates must fight for the right to propose laws as the government controls ballot access. The initiative was blocked in 2015 2016 and 2017 despite 17000 signatures and is before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Jones says six other Ohio counties are pursuing similar charter efforts.
