The Dayton Daily News has an update on SB 5:
A spokesman for Gov. John Kasich today denied published reports that his office was considering asking the Ohio Ballot Board to divide into mulitple ballot issues a proposed referendum repealing the controversial Senate Bill 5 . Kasich concurs with Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted that the law does not permit it, said Rob Nichols, spokesman for Kasich.
He said no one in senior staff or in a position to be “impactful” on such a decision had discussed asking the board to divide up the repeal referendum, which is on track to appear on the November ballot.....
.....Any effort to split the referendum into multiple questions would be “an attempt to circumvent the will of the people,” said Melissa Fazekas, spokeswoman for the We Are Ohio Campaign, which is leading the repeal effort. She called for the ballot board to reject any effort to modify the referendum. June 30 is the deadline for petitions, which need 231,000 valid signatures to appear on the ballot.....
Just because a spokesman for Kasich denied it, doesn't mean it wasn't discussed by someone in the administration.
