Issue 1 a sham
To the editor: Ohio Issue 1 is a direct attack on Ohio’s democracy, and former President Trump is right to call it out. This amendment would set up a redistricting commission that is completely unaccountable to voters.
Democrats and left-wing special interests are spending more than $26 million to sell this scheme to Ohioans.
The commission would be made up of unelected, unqualified individuals who can’t be removed if they abuse their power.
Worse still, this amendment would force Ohio taxpayers to pay for their unlimited legal expenses, costing us millions of dollars with no accountability. This is not a plan for fair redistricting; it’s a plan to steal control of our elections and silence conservative voices.
We need to keep our redistricting process in the hands of elected officials who answer to voters, not an unaccountable commission. This is a power grab that Ohioans can’t afford. We must protect our democracy and our tax dollars by voting no on Issue 1. Let’s stop this sham before it undermines the
foundation of our state. Vote no and protect the voice of the people.

Sky isn’t falling
To the editor: When did we become so frightened and gullible? The GOP has always used fear to control its constituents. But judging by the panic-stricken guest opinions here it seems a new level of “sky is falling” has been reached.
Trump and Vance’s rhetoric is to the point of being laughable. When an obvious lifelong con man tells us that there are millions of “illegals” taking over cities; murdering, raping and pillaging, and
tells us they are eating family pets after reading a fake social media post a grain of salt should be mandatory.
The economy is gradually improving, gas prices dropping. Wall Street booming, interest rates dropping, but Trump calls us a third world country and failing nation. Yet he offers no other plan.
And when he says if we don’t vote for him we will literally “lose our country. ‘’ How many
times have we heard that? All politicians stretch the truth, but give me a break.
Sadly, many people, especially the elderly, are scared to death for no other reason than someone wants their vote.
If you really look up to this guy as your “protector ‘’ and answer to our country’s problems, which he exaggerates and embellishes daily, I have a bridge to sell you.
Look around and tell me where you see all the havoc and despair Trump says is plaguing us because I don’t see it.
Remember grocery prices are transitional and temporary, but fundamentally changing our way of government to an autocracy is permanent. Don’t be frightened into letting that happen.
