Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner said Tuesday that backers of a $1 billion proposal to build casinos at four Ohio cities collected enough valid signatures to put the measure before voters in November. Just how many of those signatures could be thrown out in the future will be taken up before the Ohio Supreme Court.
The Ohio Attorney General has accepted the ballot summary language for an initiative that would allow casinos in four of the state’s largest cities. The proponents original language was rejected on March 23. The petition must now go before the Ohio Ballot Board to determine if it is considered a single amendment.
