DeMora Denounces Republican Arrogance to Deny Voters of their Will

Today, state Senator Bill DeMora (D-Columbus) denounced the Republican leadership in the state legislature for their pledge to ignore the voter’s decision on State Issues 1 and 2.

“The arrogance of the Republican leadership in the Ohio House and Senate is disgusting,” said DeMora. “Despite having just got their ass kicked for the second time in four months by a clear majority of Ohioans, they think they can do anything they want—voters be damned! It is time for the Republican supermajority to reject extremist groups hell-bent on derailing our government with nonsensical culture war issues and get to work.”

Despite State Issues 1 and 2 passing overwhelmingly, the Republican leaders of both chambers of the legislature have announced that they plan to make significant changes to both the reproductive freedom constitutional amendment and recreational marijuana initiated statute. Both ballot measures will go into effect on December 7th.
