11/1 WI Link -Nxt Wk: Ohio Voters to Decide Fate of Pro-Union Referendum

Newsmax.com reports that next week voters in Ohio will vote on a most important issue ...


Voters are to decide next week on a referendum on Ohio’s Senate Bill 5, which could overturn the state’s collective-bargaining reform law, designed to curb public-employee unions. The referendum is being closely watched in the months before the 2012 presidential election.
 
“Senate Bill 5 is the No. 1 referendum we are following,” Larry Sabato, of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, told the Dayton Daily Times. “It has the most significant national implications because, well, this is Ohio, the super-duper swing state.”

...The bill seems to be heading toward repeal, with only donors and Republicans seemingly supporting the law. A Quinnipiac University poll last week said Republicans oppose repeal 59 percent to 32 percent, but just about every other demographic want the bill repealed, including both union and non-union households.
