The next step for SB5 in Ohio could be a citizen’s referendum that would block the implementation of the law.
In the Buckeye state if legislation is put on the ballot via a citizen’s referendum the law can not go into effect.
Opponents of the legislation now have 90 days to collect more than 230,000 signatures in order to get the measure on the ballot for November 2011.
The law strips collective bargaining rights from 350,000 public sector employees. Speaking on the floor of the Ohio House Wednesday Representative Alicia Reece compared the fight over Senate Bill 5 to David vs. Goliath.
Reece: The nurses, the teachers, the janitors, the custodians…Little Davids…the police officers, the firefighters corrections officers, the bus drivers…Little Davids…the social workers, the sanitation workers…
Reece closed her speech on the floor by saying the “Little Davids” would take the fight to the ballot box.
Reece: I will tell you that the Little Davids are in this fight ‘til the end. And there will be a time when we take this to the ballot that the government, Goliath, will be challenged.
Northern Ohio is very Democratic and Southern Ohio: conservative. It will be interesting to see if the Ohio Democrats get off of their asses!
Florida, by the way, also has a lethargic Democratic party in the last election cycle.We ended up with grifter Rick Scott!
