What’s the deal with Issue 3 ?
Over the last several hours I have been sitting here trying to write a book review. But the phone keeps ringing. Most of the calls are robo-calls. I have had 8 calls so far today from machines that are encouraging me to vote yes on Issue 3 tomorrow.
I haven’t gotten one single call telling me to vote against it? I find that peculiar. I haven’t been paying much attention to Issue 3. I have been following Issue 2 but not 3.
I know one thing though; there sure seems to be an awful lot of money riding on Issue 3 passing? There’s a lot of money being spent to encourage my fellow Ohioans to pass this ballot initiative. Who is paying for all these phone calls and TV ads?
Being a bit of a contrarian and a suspicious one at that I think I’ll be voting against Issue 3. When all these robo-calls are imploring me to do this one thing I think I’ll just do the other. My suspicions about this Issue 3 have been fully aroused by this flurry of annoying robo-calls.
Now that I have gotten that off my chest maybe I can go back to writing my book review?..uh oh, there’s the phone again…..
