00:00:00 | >> SUPPORT FOR THE STATEWIDE BROADCAST OF "THE STATE OF OHIO" |
00:00:09 | COMES FROM LAW OFFICES OF PORTER WRIGHT MORRIS & ARTHUR LLP. |
00:00:14 | AND FROM THE OHIO EDUCATION ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING 131,000 |
00:00:23 | TEACHERS, SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS AND HIGHER EDUCATION FACULTIES |
00:00:29 | WORKING FOR GREAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR EVERY CHILD. |
00:00:31 | ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR "THE STATE OF OHIO"IS MADE POSSIBLE |
00:00:36 | BY ETECH OHIO. >> AS OHIO'S PRESIDENTIAL |
00:00:44 | PRIMARY MOVES CLOSER, POLITICS HEATS UP. |
00:00:50 | 1 OF THE STATE'S TOP DEMOCRATS IS WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR ON |
00:00:58 | 1 ISSUE AS SHE FIGHTS REPUBLICANS ON ANOTHER. |
00:01:01 | RICK SANTORUM IS IN OHIO AND NEWT GINGRICH TOWARD SEVERAL |
00:01:28 | OHIO CITIES LAST WEEK. THERE IS NO WORD ON WHEN OR IF |
00:01:31 | RON PAUL WILL BE HERE BEFORE THE PRIMARY. |
00:01:33 | OHIO IS ONE OF THE STATES IN THE SUPER TUESDAY PRIMARY MAKES |
00:01:39 | ON MARCH 6. THERE IS A NEW LEADER IN THE GOP |
00:01:43 | PRESIDENTIAL RACE IN OHIO. IT IS RICK SANTORUM. |
00:01:45 | NEWT GINGRICH IS THAT 20% AND RON PAUL IS AT 9%. |
00:01:52 | HALF OF THOSE RESPONDING TO THE POLL SAY THEY MAY CHANGE THEIR |
00:01:59 | MIND BEFORE MARCH 6. THE FIRST SURVEY CANNOT BE |
00:02:03 | COMPARED TO EARLIER SURVEYS OF REGISTERED REPUBLICANS SINCE |
00:02:07 | THIS POLL INCLUDES ONLY LIKELY VOTERS. |
00:02:09 | ROMNEY WAS LEADING IN A POLL OF REGISTERED REPUBLICANS LAST |
00:02:15 | MONTH. HERMAN CAIN WAS LEADING BEFORE |
00:02:17 | THAT IN OCTOBER. AND ROMNEY WAS TIED WITH RICK |
00:02:22 | PERRY IN SEPTEMBER. THE POLL ALSO SHOWS PRESIDENT |
00:02:26 | OBAMA BEATS IN THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. |
00:02:29 | THE PRESENT WINS OVER ROMNEY BY 10 PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA -- 10 |
00:02:36 | POINTS. ANOTHER POLL THIS WEEK HELD SOME |
00:02:42 | BAD NEWS FOR UNION ACTIVIST. IT WOULD STATE THAT WORKERS DO |
00:02:48 | NOT HAVE TO PAY UNION DUES TO GET OR KEEP A JOB. |
00:02:52 | THE POLL FINDS THE AMENDMENT WOULD PASS 54% TO 44%. |
00:02:59 | INDEPENDENT VOTERS ARE MOSTLY SUPPORTIVE. |
00:03:03 | THE POLL ALSO SHOWED SUPPORT FOR A LAW THAT BANS SMOKING IN THE |
00:03:07 | CARS IF A CHILD UNDER 6 IS IN ONE. |
00:03:11 | JUST OVER HALF APPROVE OF RAISING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE |
00:03:16 | INTERSTATE. 17% WANT A HIGHER SPEED LIMIT ON |
00:03:20 | THAT BILL. NEARLY HALF OF RESPONDENTS |
00:03:23 | OPPOSED THE CREATION OF A SCHOOL CALENDAR THAT WOULD RUN FROM |
00:03:27 | LABOR DAY TO MEMORIAL DAY. GOVERNOR JOHN KASICH JOB |
00:03:31 | APPROVAL NUMBERS ARE STILL POOR. 40% OF REGISTERED VOTERS SAY |
00:03:37 | THEY APPROVE OF THE JOB HE IS DOING. |
00:03:38 | 46% DISAPPROVE. THIS IS THE SAME AS HIS RATING |
00:03:47 | IN THE A POLL LAST MONTH. WE HAVE A GRAND OPENING DATES |
00:03:51 | FOR THE FIRST TWO CASINOS. THE CLEVELAND HORSE SHOE CASINO |
00:03:59 | CAN OPEN THE WEEK OF MAY 14. THE HOLLYWOOD CASINO TOLEDO CAN |
00:04:06 | OPEN TWO WEEKS LATER, ANYTIME AFTER MEMORIAL DAY. |
00:04:09 | IT DISTILLS HOPE TO BE OPEN IN LATE MARCH AND EARLY APRIL. |
00:04:14 | -- THE CASINOS HOPED TO BE OPEN IN LATE MARCH OR EARLY APRIL. |
00:04:19 | THE HOLLYWOOD CASINO COLUMBUS IS SET TO OPEN AROUND THANKSGIVING. |
00:04:24 | THE CINCINNATI CASINO WILL OPEN SOMETIME IN 2013. |
00:04:29 | THE STATE HAS A NEW AGRICULTURE DIRECTOR, REPUBLICAN DAVID |
00:04:35 | DANIELS. HE RESIGNED HIS SENATE SEAT TO |
00:04:37 | TAKE OVER THE POSITION LEFT VACANT WHEN GOVERNOR CASE IT |
00:04:40 | MOVES THE FORMER DIRECTOR INTO THE TOP SPOT AT THE DEPARTMENT |
00:04:44 | OF NATURAL RESOURCES. IS IT -- IS EXPECTED THAT |
00:04:49 | DANIELS WILL WORK ON AN EXOTIC ANIMAL MAN AND WILL ADVISE THE |
00:04:54 | GOVERNOR IN DEVELOPING THE OHIO -- ANIMAL BAN AND WILL ADVISE |
00:05:00 | THE GOVERNOR IN DEVELOPING THE OHIO OUR OIL INDUSTRY. |
00:05:02 | WE ARE STILL DIGESTING GOVERNOR CASEY'S STATE OF THE STATE |
00:05:09 | SPEECH. -- GOVERNOR CAKASIC'S STATE OF E |
00:05:16 | STATE -- KASICH'S STATE OF THE STATE SPEECH. |
00:05:24 | >> THIS REALLY MEANS SOMETHING. >> THAT MAY NOT MEAN MUCH, BUT |
00:05:32 | IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED NATIONALLY AS A PROPOSAL WITH LOTS OF |
00:05:35 | POTENTIAL AND VERY LITTLE DOWNSIDE. |
00:05:40 | IT IS THE MOST EXCITING THINGS THAT HAD -- THING THAT HAS |
00:05:45 | HAPPENED TO THE OHIO INTERNET CONFERENCE. |
00:05:52 | >> WE ARE TAKING THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE -- WE ALREADY |
00:06:01 | HAVE A LONG-TERM LEASE -- WE ARE INCREASING IT. |
00:06:05 | I HAVE USED A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT EXAMPLES. |
00:06:10 | IF YOU THINK OF THE CORE DOORI- 71. |
00:06:14 | -- TOOK I-71, THAT IS THE CAPACITY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. |
00:06:24 | WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CAPACITY OF WHAT WE HAVE EXPANDED TOO. |
00:06:28 | >> THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SAYS THIS IS AS A HISTORIC AS THE |
00:06:37 | DISCUSSION OF A 1 GIG NETWORK. >> THIS IS THE SAME MOMENT WE |
00:06:46 | HAD IN 2000. THESE CARS ARE BEING |
00:06:52 | MANUFACTURED AS WE SPEAK. WE ARE THE PIONEERS OF MAKING |
00:06:56 | TECHNOLOGY COME TO OUR CAMPUSES. THIS IS SETTING US 10 YEARS |
00:07:02 | AHEAD INSTEAD OF ASKING WHY NOW. WE CAN PUT IT IN OUR LABS AND |
00:07:10 | PUT IT IN PRODUCTION AND WORK TO CREATE SOMETHING BIGGER AND |
00:07:13 | BETTER. >> THE STATE AND ITS PRIVATE |
00:07:17 | PARTNERS WILL INVEST $10 BILLION. |
00:07:20 | THE LINE TO CONNECT 90 OF OHIO'S PUBLIC AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES |
00:07:27 | AND ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN OHIO AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WILL GO |
00:07:30 | FROM CRUISING SPEEDS INTO HIGH PER DRIVE. |
00:07:32 | >> IF YOU TAKE THOSE IMAGES, YOU CAN TRANSMIT THOSE |
00:07:39 | SIMULTANEOUSLY. IT IS 50,000 TIMES FASTER THAN |
00:07:44 | THE SMARTPHONES WE USE. I KEEP COMING BACK TO PUT THIS |
00:07:49 | IN LAYMEN'S TERMS. YOU CHANGE OUT THE ENGINES AND |
00:07:53 | PUT IN ITS 100 GALLONS A BOX. IT IS TRULY INCREDIBLE. |
00:07:58 | >> HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO DOWNLOAD A MOVIE OR A BOOK? |
00:08:03 | >> I WOULD NOT HAVE THE EXACT -- IT WOULD BE MILLISECONDS. |
00:08:09 | >> CONSIDER THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY. |
00:08:14 | >> THINK ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION OF DATA. |
00:08:18 | WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW BECAUSE THESE DATA BITS ARE SO BIG, THEY |
00:08:25 | ARE SAVING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES AND SHIPPING IT TO WHEREVER |
00:08:29 | THERE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS ARE WORKING WITH PRIVATE INDUSTRY, |
00:08:32 | PHARMA, OR WHATEVER THEY ARE TESTING WITH. |
00:08:38 | THIS WILL ENABLE THEM TO TRANSMIT INFORMATION MUCH MORE |
00:08:46 | QUICKLY. >> IMAGES AND SIMULATIONS CAN BE |
00:08:51 | MOVED BACK AND FORTH QUICKLY AND EASILY. |
00:08:53 | IT WILL HELP SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL RESEARCHERS SHARE |
00:08:59 | MATERIAL AND COMPLEX IMAGES. THE NETWORK OFFERS THE |
00:09:02 | POSSIBILITY OF ALLOWING DOCTORS TO PRACTICE PROCEDURES AND |
00:09:05 | SURGERY ON VIRTUAL PATIENTS IN 3-D, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR |
00:09:10 | PHYSICIANS WORKING IN THE AREA WHERE THEY HAVE NO ACCESS TO |
00:09:14 | CADAVERS. NO OTHER STATE HAS NETWORKS THAT |
00:09:16 | REACH AS FAR AS ORNET OR THAT APPROACH THE SPEED IT WELL. |
00:09:22 | >> INDIANA ANNOUNCED TODAY AND I HAVE BEFORE US THAT THEY WILL |
00:09:28 | IGNITE A SINGLE STRAND OF 100 GIG FIBER FROM INDIANA |
00:09:35 | UNIVERSITY ALL THE WAY TO CHICAGO. |
00:09:37 | CALIFORNIA CAME OUT TRYING TO BEAT US TO THE PUNCH. |
00:09:41 | THEY ARE LIKE IN 12. -- IGNITING ONE, TOO. |
00:09:47 | WE ARE EXPANDING IT TO ALL OUR FOOTPRINT IN OHIO. |
00:09:53 | THIS IS GAME CHANGING STUFF. IN THE PRESS RELEASES WE HAVE |
00:09:57 | RELEASED, THIS IS IMPORTANT. WE ARE GOING TO TOUCH CLEVELAND, |
00:10:02 | COLUMBUS, CINCINNATI, DAYTON. THEN WE WILL GO TO AKRON AND |
00:10:07 | YOUNGSTOWN. WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TOUCH |
00:10:11 | PEOPLE IN SOME OF THE OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE THAT ARE NOT |
00:10:14 | NORMALLY BEEN TOUCHED. >> MOST OF THE TALK IS HOW IT |
00:10:18 | WILL HELP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. |
00:10:20 | INTERNET GIANTS LIKE GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK STARTED AROUND COLLEGES |
00:10:26 | BECAUSE OF THEIR ACCESS TO HIGH- SPEED DATA NETWORKS. |
00:10:29 | CONNOLLY SAYS THE STATE CAN USE ORNET AS A HOOK TO LURE IN |
00:10:40 | PRIVATE BUSINESSES THAT NEED LARGE AMOUNTS OF DATA AS WELL. |
00:10:42 | >> IT IS NOT JUST A SINGLE STRAND. |
00:10:46 | WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE FOOTPRINT OF MOST OF THE URBAN |
00:10:51 | AREAS OF OHIO. >> SHAW IS EVEN MORE OPTIMISTIC |
00:10:56 | ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF OHIO BECOMING A HIGH-TECH POWERHOUSE |
00:11:02 | AT THE NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL LEVEL. |
00:11:03 | >> WE WENT TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. |
00:11:10 | IT WAS CLEAR THAT GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, CISCO HAVE ALL COME |
00:11:17 | FROM AND UNIVERSITIES. THEY HAVE SPREAD TO SUCH |
00:11:23 | TECHNOLOGY. WHAT WE ARE DOING IS CREATING AN |
00:11:27 | INFRASTRUCTURE. THE QUESTION ABOUT, CAN I MOVE |
00:11:30 | AND APPLICATION ABOUT -- APPLICATION FROM HERE TO HERE IS |
00:11:36 | TAKEN OFF OF THE TABLE. WE HOPE TO CREATE AN INNOVATION |
00:11:42 | CENTER HERE SHORTLY. WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE PUBLIC AND |
00:11:45 | PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WILL BRING THE RESEARCHERS. |
00:11:48 | WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MAKING A BRIDGE WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR |
00:11:53 | AND ALSO LOOKING AT COMMERCIALIZATION. |
00:11:54 | WE HOPE WE WILL BE THE SILICON VALLEY OF THE MIDWEST. |
00:11:58 | >> THE FIRST PHASE COULD BE UP AND RUNNING IN JUNE. |
00:12:05 | THE SECOND PHASE WILL BE READY BY OCTOBER. |
00:12:10 | ALSO IN THE GOVERNOR JOHN KASICH'S STAKE IN THE STATE |
00:12:14 | SPEECH WERE SEVERAL SHOUT OUT. IT WAS A SURPRISE TO SOME PEOPLE |
00:12:18 | IN THE ROOM IN STEUBENVILLE. >> BESHEAR? |
00:12:23 | -- IS SHE HERE? WAVE, JENNIFER. |
00:12:31 | >> HE HAS ASKED THE FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE TO WORK WITH |
00:12:38 | HIS ADMINISTRATION ON THE ISSUE OF COLLATERAL SANCTIONS, |
00:12:42 | RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE TIME IN PRISON. |
00:12:45 | THEY RANGE FROM LOSS OF VOTING RIGHTS TO ELIGIBILITY FOR |
00:12:49 | HOLDING CERTAIN JOBS. THESE DISQUALIFICATIONS ARE |
00:12:53 | COSTING MANY EX-OFFENDERS A SECOND CHANCE. |
00:12:55 | SHE IS ALSO WORKING ON ANOTHER ISSUE, THE BALLOT ISSUE FOR |
00:13:02 | ELECTION REFORM THAT WAS PASSED BY THE REPUBLICAN DOMINATED |
00:13:06 | LEGISLATURE LAST YEAR. IT SHORTENS THE EARLY VOTING |
00:13:09 | PERIOD TO 17 DAYS FOR AND PERSON VOTING. |
00:13:16 | IT PROHIBITS BOARD OF ELECTIONS FROM SENDING OUT UNSOLICITED |
00:13:25 | ABSENTEE BALLOTS APPLICATIONS. IT PERMITS IN PERSON ABSENTEE |
00:13:38 | VOTING AT THE MAIN BOARD OF ELECTIONS ONLY. |
00:13:41 | THEY ARE QUESTIONING WHETHER OR NOT TO REPEAL THE LAW. |
00:13:45 | THEY ARE CONCERNED WHETHER A REPEAL OF THAT LAW IS |
00:13:49 | CONSTITUTIONAL. FAIR ELECTIONS OHIO IS WORRIED |
00:13:54 | ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN AFTER THE REPEAL IF LAWMAKERS TOLD THE |
00:14:00 | LAW THEMSELVES. THEY TALKED ABOUT BOTH OF THESE |
00:14:03 | ISSUES. THE GOVERNOR HAS ASKED YOU TO |
00:14:07 | TALK ABOUT COLLATERAL SANCTIONS. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT FIRST. |
00:14:10 | I URGE THE GOVERNMENT TALK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CANNOT HAVE |
00:14:14 | COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSES BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE TIME IN |
00:14:17 | PRISON. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER |
00:14:20 | DISQUALIFICATIONS THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE EXT. OFFENDERS ARE |
00:14:23 | DEALING WITH IN OHIO? -- EX OFFENDERS ARE DEALING |
00:14:31 | WITH IN OHIO. >> THEY CANNOT GET A LICENSE TO |
00:14:35 | CUT HERE. IN MY YEARS AS A JUDGE, IF |
00:14:40 | SOMEONE WAS SENTENCED FOR FELONY NON-SUPPORT OF THEIR CHILDREN, |
00:14:44 | THE LAW REQUIRED WE HAD TO TAKE AWAY THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE. |
00:14:47 | HOW CAN YOU GET A JOB OR GO TO A JOB IF YOU DO NOT HAVE |
00:14:51 | TRANSPORTATION TO GET THEIR? THEY WILL SUSPEND THE -- TOO |
00:15:00 | GET THERE? THERE ARE OVER 3000 COLLATERAL |
00:15:07 | SANCTIONS. IT IS NOT TO SAY ALL OF THEM |
00:15:09 | WOULD BE REMOVED, BUT THE -- BUT LESS USE SOME COMMON SENSE. |
00:15:13 | >> WOULD IT GO AGAINST WHAT LAWMAKERS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR |
00:15:18 | YEARS IN TERMS OF RESTRICTING THE ACCESS THAT EX-OFFENDERS |
00:15:22 | MIGHT HAVE TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS OF KIDS AND MONEY |
00:15:27 | AND BUSINESSES AND THAT SORT OF THINGS? |
00:15:29 | >> IT HAS BEEN A HODGEPODGE PATCHWORK OF LAWS THAT ARE BASED |
00:15:34 | ON LAWMAKERS WANTING TO LOOK TOUGH ON CRIME. |
00:15:38 | THEY CAN SAY WHEN IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO RUN FOR REELECTION, I |
00:15:44 | DID THIS. THEY ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT ALL |
00:15:46 | OF THE COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES TO EVERYDAY PEOPLE IN OHIO. |
00:15:49 | THE GOVERNOR WAS GREAT. HE CAME TO THIS MEETING WITH 65 |
00:15:54 | PEOPLE. IT IS NOT OFTEN YOU WILL GET THE |
00:16:00 | GOVERNOR TO COME AND SPEAK TO A GROUP LIKE THAT. |
00:16:02 | HE DELAYS THIS IS IMPORTANT. HE SAID, WE ARE GOING -- HE |
00:16:09 | BELIEVES THIS IS IMPORTANT. WE DIVIDED INTO GROUPS AND WE |
00:16:13 | BRAINSTORM AND CAME UP WITH IDEAS, ANYTHING FROM BEING ABLE |
00:16:17 | TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON YOUR REINSTATEMENT FOR YOUR DRIVER'S |
00:16:19 | LICENSE. THERE ARE OVER AS $40 MILLION |
00:16:25 | COLLECTED BY THE STATE JUST OR DRIVER'S LICENSE REINSTATEMENT. |
00:16:30 | THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS ON PEOPLE OF WORKING CLASS OR LOW |
00:16:34 | INCOME. THAT IS NOT THE WAY IT IS |
00:16:36 | SUPPOSED TO WORK. >> THIS IS AN ISSUE TALKED ABOUT |
00:16:41 | ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE LIKE SENSES AND REFORM. |
00:16:44 | -- LIKE SENTENCING REFORM. BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. |
00:16:48 | >> WE ARE BRINGING IN FOLKS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE AND THE |
00:16:54 | DIFFERENT AREAS THAT TOUCHED THIS ISSUE AND SAYING, HOW DOES |
00:16:57 | IT WORK FOR YOU? WE HAVE PEOPLE IN CLEVELAND AND |
00:17:03 | THE HEAD OF THE BLACK CAUCUS TO MYSELF AND THE HEAD OF THE |
00:17:06 | FRANKLIN COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENT. |
00:17:08 | IT WAS A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE AND THEY HAD A LOT OF WORTHWHILE |
00:17:12 | IDEAS. >> IS IT A BALANCING ACT OF |
00:17:16 | BEING TOUGH ON CRIME AND MAKING SURE PEOPLE WHO DID WRONG ARE |
00:17:20 | PUNISHED APPROPRIATELY AND GIVING THEM A CHANCE TO GO OUT |
00:17:22 | AND EARN A LIVING AND HAVE A JOB? |
00:17:24 | >> WHEN I GO BACK TO THE PURPOSE AND PRINCIPLES OF |
00:17:29 | SENTENCING, IT IS TO PUNISH OFFENDERS AND PROTECT THE |
00:17:33 | PUBLIC. THERE IS A FINE BALANCE. |
00:17:35 | THERE MAY BE SOME WAYS YOU ARE PUNISHING OFFENDERS WHERE YOU |
00:17:40 | ARE CAUSING MORE HARM TO THE PUBLIC. |
00:17:42 | WHAT AMOUNT OF PUNISHMENT IS SUFFICIENT AND WHAT DO WE NEED |
00:17:45 | TO DO TO REHABILITATE SO WE HAVE SOMETHING INTO GETTING TO THE |
00:17:49 | PUBLIC IN BRINGING OTHERS ALONG WITH THEM? |
00:17:51 | >> YOU ARE WORKING WITH THEIR ELECTIONS OHIO, WHICH PUT THE |
00:17:56 | BALLOT INITIATIVE ON THE BALLOTS. |
00:17:59 | YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE POTENTIAL REPEAL OF HOUSE RULE |
00:18:03 | 194. YOU ARE CONCERNED THEY MIGHT |
00:18:05 | REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING ELSE. >> THEY CANNOT RESTRAIN |
00:18:10 | THEMSELVES FROM WANTING TO TINKER WITH THE ELECTION LAWS. |
00:18:13 | THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO MY SUCCESSOR AND TO |
00:18:19 | ELECTION OFFICIALS. ANYTIME YOU MAKE A FUNDAMENTAL |
00:18:21 | CHANGE -- TODAY IS FEBRUARY 14 WHEN WE ARE RECORDING THIS. |
00:18:26 | TODAY WOULD BE THE FIRST DAY OF ABSENTEE VOTING. |
00:18:30 | BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO STOP THAT FROM BECOMING LAW, PEOPLE |
00:18:34 | WERE ABLE TO VOTE TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO TODAY. |
00:18:38 | WE ARE CONCERNED THAT IT WILL NOT JUST BE A REPEAL. |
00:18:42 | IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THE RIGHT OF REFERENDUM IS ONE OF THE FEW |
00:18:48 | POWERS THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO THEMSELVES. |
00:18:50 | THEY SAY, LEGISLATURES CAN DO THIS. |
00:18:54 | THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH CAN DO THIS. |
00:18:56 | WE WANT TO RESERVE THE POWERS FOR OURSELVES TO AMEND OUR |
00:19:01 | CONSTITUTION AND SHOOT DOWN THE LAWS WE DO NOT LIKE. |
00:19:02 | AND TO OFFER YOU LAWS WE DO LIKE AND SAY, WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO |
00:19:09 | PASS THIS. IF THEY WERE TO REPEAL IT AND |
00:19:12 | REENACT ANY PORTION OF HOUSE BILL 194, IT IS A SLIGHT OF HAND |
00:19:17 | TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT THEY HAVE TO |
00:19:20 | SAY, THIS IS HOW WE WANT OUR GOVERNMENT TO BE. |
00:19:23 | >> YOU THINK IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO DO A REPEAL |
00:19:28 | AND REPLACE. >> THEY MAY BE WELL-INTENTIONED. |
00:19:32 | THE ELECTION OFFICIALS MAY SAY, THIS IS MAKING IT EASIER FOR US. |
00:19:37 | PEOPLE CAN TOGETHER AND SAID, WE WANT TO VOTE ON THIS. |
00:19:41 | THE SPEAKER SAID HE IS NOT EVEN SURE THEY CAN CONSTITUTIONALLY |
00:19:47 | REPEALS SOMETHING THAT IS CERTIFIED PER THE BALLOT. |
00:19:49 | I AM GLAD HE IS TAKING THAT STANCE. |
00:19:52 | >> I AM WORRIED ABOUT DEMOCRATS. AT THE SAME TIME LAST YEAR, |
00:19:58 | THERE WAS A DRIVE TO PUT THE CONGRESSIONAL MAP BEFORE VOTERS. |
00:20:01 | THAT DRIVE ENDED UP WITH A DEAL IN THE LEGISLATURE THAT CHANGED |
00:20:07 | THE MAP A LITTLE BIT AND MERGED THE TWO PRIMARIES. |
00:20:09 | I WONDER IF DEMOCRATS ARE THINKING, IF THEY HAD KNOWN ALL |
00:20:13 | ALONG THE LEGISLATURE WOULD REPEAL THIS ELECTION REFORM |
00:20:18 | PACKAGE, THEY SHOULD HAVE PUSHED HARDER FOR THE MAP. |
00:20:21 | DO YOU FEEL LIKE IT IS YOUR REFERENDUM THAT IS PUSHING THE |
00:20:26 | POTENTIAL REPEAL? >> I BELIEVE IS OUR REFERENDUM |
00:20:30 | PUSHING PEOPLE TO REPEAL. JUST THE QUESTION YOU GET IN |
00:20:35 | THE INTRODUCTION ABOUT A POLL WORKER NOT HAVING TO TELL YOU |
00:20:38 | ARE IN THE WRONG PRECINCT, THAT IS LUDICROUS. |
00:20:42 | IT IS COMMON SENSE. I HAVE WATCHED THE REACTION OF |
00:20:46 | AUDIENCES WHEN THIS BILL IS EXPLAINED. |
00:20:48 | THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND SAY, WHAT? |
00:20:51 | >> THEY HAVE TO, UNDER THIS LAW. >> THAT IS NOT DEMOCRATIC OR |
00:21:00 | REPUBLICAN OR ANYTHING. IT IS NOT SYMBOLIZE. |
00:21:03 | PEOPLE ARE REALLY TIRED OF THAT. WE DO NOT THINK THERE WILL BE |
00:21:08 | ANY PROBLEMS WHICH THE PUBLIC SAYING, THIS IS NOT BE LOST OR |
00:21:11 | US. DO NOT TAKE AWAY OUR VOTING |
00:21:14 | RIGHTS. TO NOT MAKE IT HARDER FOR US TO |
00:21:16 | VOTE. WE WANT PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE. |
00:21:18 | >> ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PHOTO ID? |
00:21:25 | IT COULD BE A SEPARATE BILL LATER ON. |
00:21:26 | >> HOUSE BILL 194 SAYS THAT PEOPLE'S RISE ON IDENTIFICATION |
00:21:36 | ARE DIMINISHED. -- RIGHTS ARE DIMINISHED. |
00:21:41 | THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET A BALLOT IS TO GIVE THE LAST FOUR |
00:21:46 | DATE IS OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. |
00:21:47 | WHAT DID YOU FORGET -- LAST 4 DIGITS OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY |
00:21:56 | NUMBER. WHAT IF YOU FORGET? |
00:21:59 | WHEN YOU LAY THAT OUT TO PEOPLE, THEY SAY THIS IS CRAZY. |
00:22:02 | THIS IS NOT THE OHIO WE KNOW. >> ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT A |
00:22:08 | POTENTIAL PHOTO ID BILL WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE TO PRESENT A |
00:22:11 | PHOTO ID? >> THERE ELECTIONS OHIO WOULD BE |
00:22:16 | PREPARED TO SUBMIT THAT TO AN VOTE -- A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE. |
00:22:20 | IT IS GOING TO BANG FAR. PEOPLE JUST NEED TO COME |
00:22:24 | TOGETHER -- TOO FAR. PEOPLE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND |
00:22:30 | DO WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THERE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME COMMON |
00:22:33 | GROUND. >> IF THE LEGISLATURE GOES AHEAD |
00:22:38 | AND DOES THIS, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO? |
00:22:40 | CAN YOU SUE? >> IS THERE IS ANOTHER BILL THAT |
00:22:44 | THEY WILL BE OFFERING TO CHANGE THE ELECTION LAWS, WE WILL |
00:22:47 | SUBMIT THAT TO REFERENDUM. WE ARE CONVINCED THAT THEY WILL |
00:22:51 | NOT BE ABLE TO LEAVE OUT PART OF THE HOUSE BILL 194. |
00:22:56 | IF THEY TAKE THAT RIGHT AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE, WE WILL EXTEND |
00:23:01 | THAT RIGHT. EVEN SOME OF THE RULES ABOUT |
00:23:04 | PETITIONING ARE IN THE HOUSE BILL 194. |
00:23:06 | THEY ARE CUTTING SHORT THE CHANCE FOR A REFERENDUM. |
00:23:09 | THE SECRETARY OF STATE NOTIFY SOMEONE THAT THEY HAVE FALLEN |
00:23:13 | SHORT OF A FEW SIGNATURES BY E- MAIL. |
00:23:17 | NOW THE BILL SAYS IT HAS TO BE BY CERTIFIED MAIL. |
00:23:21 | THEY HAVE EFFECTIVELY CUT THAT DOWN BY SEVEN DAYS. |
00:23:25 | THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD BE SAYING, WHY ARE THEY FILING SO |
00:23:30 | MANY REFERENDA? MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE LOOKING TO |
00:23:33 | THE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF CUTTING OFF THEIR RIGHTS TO SPEAK? |
00:23:35 | >> I WANT TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU IN THIS PROCESS. |
00:23:40 | YOU ARE WORKING WITH THE JON CASEY ADMINISTRATION ON THE |
00:23:45 | COLLATERAL'S ISSUE. YOU ARE WORKING ON ELECTION -- |
00:23:49 | DONE KASICH ADMINISTRATION ON THE COLLATERALS ISSUE. |
00:23:53 | YOU ARE WORKING ON ELECTION REFORM REPEAL. |
00:23:57 | WHAT ONE GROUP TRIED TO ASK YOU TO BACK OFF OF ONE OF THOSE? |
00:24:00 | >> WHEN THE GOVERNOR AND I TALK ABOUT MY BEING INVOLVED IN THE |
