Maurice Thompson Discusses Video Slots and Keeping the General Assembly in Check
Friday, August 21st, 2009 By Lauren KresgeMaurice Thompson, director of the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, was a guest on the Matt Patrick show on August 5. Thompson and Patrick discussed the 1851 Center’s amicus brief in LetOhioVote.org v. Brunner. The brief argues that the general assembly acted hastily in adapting video slots gaming at Ohio race tracks as a way to balance the budget and also deprived citizens of their constitutional right to keep the state government in check via a referendum vote.
