Frank LaRose said it's important to make it harder for voters to amend the Ohio Constitution to keep out-of-state special interests from meddling. But his office wouldn't respond when asked about the support of an Illinois billionaire.
The following articlewas originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
Since 1912, Ohioans frustrated by government inaction could put a constitutional amendment on the ballot by gathering the large required number of voter signatures. Then, if the amendment got more than 50% of the vote, it became part of the Ohio Constitution. LaRose specifically denied that he wanted to block future abortion-rights or anti-gerrymandering amendments. But a few weeks later, the official he shared the stage with, Rep. Brian Stewart, R-Ashville, sent a letter to GOP colleagues contradicting LaRose. The point was to block such amendments, Stewart said.
As LaRose declines to own or disown Uihlein, it might echo other fences the secretary of state has tried to straddle.
