Perspective on Ohio Issue One

Hey guys - just doing my early voting and looking for a little group perspective on Issue One. On the surface, it feels like a YES but I can't tell if there are any landmines in it. Sometimes the wording on this stuff is designed to get the wrong answer.

I pulled up the Hamilton County Dem web site. Useless. Couldn't find a "sample ballot" to save my life. If it's there, it's well hidden. guess that explains why we're such a red county. LOL

Anyway - thoughts?

Thanks.

'and the courts can't overturn maps drawn by the new commission'. That seems a bit iffy to me. I didn't think you could simply chop a branch of government out of the balance of power by legislating it.

Still, it does seem like it would have to be better than what we've already got.

(ETA - Thanks for that link. Based on what is there, I'm agreeing with the recommendations of the League.)
