ICON OPINION - VOTE YES ON ISSUE 1 ON NOV. 3

On Nov 3, Ohioans will have the opportunity to solve a divisive problem facing our state. Issue 1 defines a new method for drawing state legislative districts and embodies a compromise reached by Legislators of both parties.

It was put on the ballot by an overwhelming, bi-partisan vote in both the Ohio House and Senate. After many proposals brought forth by legislators and other political interests, Issue 1 is the first proposal brought to the voters on a bipartisan basis while establishing stronger transparency and accountability in the way state legislative districts are drawn.
