Columbus, OH – Robert Alt, president and chief executive officer of The Buckeye Institute, issued the following statement after the introduction of House Joint Resolution 19.

“After seeing Ohio’s Constitution as a zoning board for casinos in 2010, and witnessing many special-interest shenanigans perpetrated as proposed amendments to Ohio’s Constitution since then, it is clear we need to do more to protect our founding document,” said Robert Alt, president and chief executive officer of The Buckeye Institute. “House Joint Resolution 19 strikes an appropriate balance and Ohio legislators should be commended for taking up this important issue.”
