Op-Ed from Col Dispatch
The true goal of Issue 1 is to allow courts to set cash bail in amounts that unwealthy Ohioans cannot pay. That is why Ohioans should vote “no” on Issue 1." - Timothy Young

snip-"Issue 1 requires courts to consider “public safety” when setting bail.

Don’t be fooled.

Courts already consider public safety by setting limits on the person’s behavior or holding potentially dangerous individuals in jail without bail.

The true goal of Issue 1 is to allow courts to set cash bail in amounts that unwealthy Ohioans cannot pay. That is why Ohioans should vote “no” on Issue 1."

more there.



I think that Daddy's good boy campaiging on this issue, as a person who can order bail is at a minimum unseemly. The fact that he dissented and was on the losing side in the case of DuBois v McGuffy before the court he serves on and now is publicly campaign for it's overturn is awful.
