Lawmaker ponders casino “correction” amendment

By William Hershey | Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 09:16 AM

State Rep. Lou Blessing, R-Cincinnati, a leading opponent of the successful four-casino plan on the Tuesday, Nov. 3 ballot, said he’ll work with fellow lawmakers immediately to put a new constitutional amendment before voters to make corrections.

Blessing said the corrections amendment would make sure that Issue 3, for example doesn’t affect church casino nights. Issue 3 supporters have said the new constitutional amendment wouldn’t affect church casino nights but Blessing and others have disagreed.

For the legislature to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot would require support from 60 members of the 99-member House and 20 members of the 33-member Senate.

Issue 3, approved 53-47 percent, permits casinos in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo.
