Ohio Issue 2 Town Hall Forum - A board subject to special interests? - Oct 19, 2009

Farm Bureau is asked: "I want clarity on what has been brought up already. From what you've said is we're supposed to vote on a board, give 'em power, then worry about what rules and regulations will result. Yes, there will be public debate, I've heard that too. But how effective is public debate when we're setting up a board that historically, in our political system, is subject to special interest lobbied boards?"

Rep Ruhl says that "We do listen to the public... You'll have your opportunity to voice your opinion just like you have in the health care issue from the federal government." Then she can't even keep from laughing! They are trying to ram this down our throats just as Pelosi is - without discussion. What kind of discussion will exist once the omnipotent board is established?! I am so sick of government officials who are convinced they know better than I how to run my life. Vote NO on 2!
