Ohio Roundtable says No, No, No!
The Ohio Roundtable, a conservative policy group based in suburban Cleveland, is coming out against three issues likely to make the November ballot. They don’t like mandatory paid sick leave, casino gambling or predatory lending.
Roundtable President David Zanotti said Tuesday, July 29, that the mandatory paid sick leave issue backed by labor unions is a “job killer for Ohio.” If it passes, Ohio would be the only state to have a law requiring employers with 25 or more workers to give seven paid sick days a year.
The Roundtable, which led the successful opposition to three previous casino gambling proposals, will also oppose the latest constitutional amendment to bring casinos to Ohio, Zanotti said. Voters may be asked to approve a single casino in Clinton County — near where 8,000 DHL workers are facing job losses. “It’s always a bad idea to cut a deal with a casino when you’re desperate,” Zanotti said.
And, Zanotti said the Roundtable will oppose a measure backed by the payday lending industry to repeal part of a comprehensive law designed to curb short term loans offered at annual interest rates of 391 percent.
