Anti Issue 2 campaign to start radio ads
The anti Issue 2 campaign is an underdog, scraping together just $6,300 compared with the $4 million raised by those in favor of the constitutional amendment, and is beginning its modest media campaign this week.
Food and Water Watch will begin running a 30-second radio ad across the state, that urges Ohioans to vote no on Issue 2, which the group says will give corporate agri-business license to contaminate food with poor animal housing practices and bankrupt family farms.
Meanwhile, Ohioans for Livestock Care raised $4 million, including $1.2 million from out-of-state agricultural interests, and has already been on the TV airwaves with polished ads.
If the issue passes, Ohio would create a 13-member Livestock Care Standards Board to set rules for animal housing and care.
