Texts and emails show how the bid to make it harder to amend Ohio's constitution fell apart
Secretary of State Frank LaRose alongside Rep. Brian Stewart, R-Ashville, introducing a constitutional amendment requiring a 60% supermajority for all future citizen-led ballot amendments.
LaRose’s team got right to work, returning with a spreadsheet breakdown of all 33 proposals during that timeframe. But his chief legal counsel, D. Michael Grodhaus, warned limiting the scope to citizen-initiated measures might leave the proposal open to court challenge. “I had a tentative conversation at the OSU game with the speaker ,” LaRose wrote. “I presented it to him as ‘an idea l’ve been thinking about and want to work with you guys to get done.’”
At the same time they were discussing Speaker Cupp’s reticence, they were also talking about Center for Christian Virtue president Aaron Baer’s involvement. “I think I persuaded him to work more behind the scenes directly with members without a public statement yet,” Stewart said.
