UTWILLA SMITH, Dayton: “Ohio probably does need it. Suppose you do vote for someone who doesn’t do what they promised? You have to wait four years to vote them out.”

CHRISTINA MILLER, West Chester: “I don’t think they need the recall. It’s just something people want to use when they’re upset that their candidate didn’t win. The four-year cycle for re-election is perfectly fine.”

SHUJAAT KHAN, Clearcreek Twp.: “Yes. Ted Strickland was doing a better job than Mr. Kasich, and we shouldn’t have to wait till the next election cycle to vote him out. The sooner the better.”

CAROLYN GRIFFEN, Carlisle: “I think it would be good to have. Sometimes candidates say one thing, but when they get in there they do something different, not what they promised. It would be good to have in a situation like that.”

AMAN COX, Kettering: “I’m a truck driver, so I’m hardly ever in Ohio. In the last two years, I’ve spent more time in other states for my job. But if someone is not doing any good at his job, why not have that option?”
