800,000 signatures submitted for casino gambling initiative
August 5, 2008

CLINTON COUNTY, OH - Proponents for building a casino in Clinton County delivered a petition signed by 800,000 unconfirmed voters to the Ohio secretary of state today. The signature drive by MyOhioNow well exceeded the minimum number of 402,275 needed for the November 4th ballot.

Rick Lertzman, co-founder of MyOhioNow.com, released a statement today saying:
"This has been an exciting opportunity to reach out to Ohio voters in all 88 counties. The response has been overwhelmingly favorable. We are very appreciative of the effort of hundreds of Ohioans who have helped us in this effort to place this issue on the November 4th ballot. Ohioans are excited for this positive economic news. The prospect of up to 5000 new jobs is a bright spot in a year in which we have faced so much financial adversity and challenges. We look forward to a positive and honest campaign to get the support of Ohio voters. We look towards our opposition to come from casinos in states that neighbor Ohio, as they have enjoyed the economic benefits from Ohioans for many years. When this issue passes, their free lunch will end."
