What is the most important issue on the Nov. 3 ballot?
What is the most important issue for you on the Nov. 3 ballot?
GLORIA FAILS, Dayton: It’s a tie between the casino issue and the Dayton mayor’s race. They directly affect me and the people in my community. I personally think (Rhine McLin) has been doing a good job, and I don’t want to fix it if it’s not broke. The casinos? I wouldn’t like them anywhere close to Dayton, because we’re having enough problems without the problems that come along with casinos.”
SANDRA ALEXANDER, Fairborn: The gambling. I’m totally against it. We usually go to Florida this time of year, but I’m staying just so I can vote against it on Election Day.
ANTHONY ANANTHANARAYANAN, Beavercreek: There are two of them: The Beavercreek schools and the fire levy. I would definitely vote for them. All the departments are hurting; times are difficult, and we need to help ourselves.
JEFF PARKS, Dayton: I just came back from California, so the only thing I’m really familiar with is the casino issue, because I’ve seen all the commercials on it. I don’t really think either side is telling the entire truth. How many of those jobs will actually be here after the construction phase is over? It could be good for the economy, but not nearly what they’re trying to hype it up to be.
SUSAN MILLER, Riverside: Probably the casino issue. I just think that’s going to either bring jobs or not bring jobs, and I’m just not sure what’s really true. I’m going to do a little more research on it before I vote.
BRENDA ZORNES, Huber Heights: The casino issue. I’m for it — for the jobs. We need something like that to bring jobs for people right now.

Issue 2(NO), 40(YES library, 4(YES Parks) in that order are most important to me and will help Ohio be a more livable state which will be more attractive to future businesses.

Issue 2 is not good for the family-owned farms. NO! Library & Parks YES! Gambling No for the 3rd time! Mayor of Dayton…that’s a tough one. Mickey Mouse might be a better choice.

YES for Issue 2. Most people who say they want to vote NO on this issue state the same reasons why they should be voting YES. They just don’t understand the issue. Vote YES on issue 2 to protect the farms and the local food supply.

If Issue#2 is so important in Ohio let our elected Representatives and the Governor do their jobs and create the proper laws, rules and regulations. The constitution should be reserved for governing “we the people” not animals! Vote NO across the board on all issues.

Yes on 1 to help the vets. No on 2 to help the family farms and allow improvements in livestock living conditions to improve food safety. Undecided on 3, the casio issue. Yes on libraries, fire, schools, and seniors.

My opinion - take whatever DDN says and do the complete opposite. We will all be better off.

Yes for the vets - do your homework on the other two - as far as me - no on issue 2 and 3 and Yes for the parks and the library. Everyone should educate themselves on the issues and make sure you vote or you can’t complain - Glad I don’t live in Dayton - sad they don’t have someone respectable running for Mayor.
