Former Ohio Gov. Bob Taft weighs in on hot-button constitutional amendment reform plan
Fox News
Former Republican Ohio Gov. Bob Taft has voiced opposition to the Legislature's plan to raise the vote threshold for new constitutional amendments.
The Ohio Senate approved a resolution last week that would raise the threshold for citizens to pass future changes to the Ohio Constitution from 50%-plus-one to 60%, but the measure's fate in the politically fractured Ohio House has not yet been determined.
A plan devised by Republican Senate President Matt Huffman and supported by Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose involves setting a special August election to put the 60% question before voters.
