A Dad just reached out to me to tell me that 3 out of 4 of his adult daughters have now left Ohio (and the 4th considering a move away) because Ohio has created a climate around social issues that makes it hard for young people - especially young women - to stay.

"Are you aware that you're in Ohio? Because in Ohio we've had an OHSAA policy that's worked in 2013 and you're talking about Connecticut."

The new signature requirements would erect one of the biggest roadblocks in the country for those who want to change their state constitutions. Some critics say it would make it nearly impossible to qualify for the ballot, much less win 60% of the vote. cleveland.com/news/2023/06/s…
