Casino
Petition To Be
Submitted
On
Tuesday, August 5th at 11 am at
The Hyatt on Capitol Square (75
East State Street, Columbus, Ohio
43215), MyOhioNow.com made an
announcement regarding the
submission of signatures to the
Ohio Secretary of State that will
place an initiative on the
November 4th ballot for a
Casino/resort
in Ohio.
Co-Founders
of MyOhioNow.com, Rick Lertzman
and Dr. Brad Pressman will be
present to discuss the petition
drive, the issue and the campaign
to successfully pass this
initiative. The ballot issue is
to approve a $600 million dollar
destination resort/casino in
Clinton County, Ohio with 30% of
the revenues going to the 88
counties based on a per capita
basis. The project will employ up
to 5000 jobs along with thousands
of jobs in the construction of
the project.
"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," said Rick Lertzman,
co-founder of
MyOhioNow.com.
Dr.
Bradford A. Pressman, co-founder
of MyOhioNow.com said, "Our
petition effort has given us a
unique opportunity to reach out
to inform Ohio voters about the
issue. Our message is clear and
honest. Frankly, there are 38
states that currently have some
form of casino gambling. Our
neighbors, such as Indiana,
Michigan, Pennsylvania, and West
Virginia are employing thousands
of residents in their states and
returning hundreds of millions of
tax revenues from their casinos.
It's time to keep those dollars
within our state borders and
attract tourism dollars back to
Ohio. We look forward to
spreading this positive message
and will seek the approval of
Ohio voters on November
4th."
