Constituent calls out hypocrisy of using out-of-state special interest money to raise Ohio amendment threshold

Senator Gavarone, 

Someone just sent me your tweet about your “effort to protect our state’s founding document from well-funded, out-of-state special interests” (SJR2).

Unfortunately for you and your colleagues, the BG Independent News just published an article “Billionaire backing effort to raise Ohio amendment threshold” and it explained all about billionaire Richard Uihleiin donating more than $1 million to support your efforts to require 60% of the vote for citizen-initiated constitutional amendments.  It seems hypocritical that you are accepting money from “well-funded, out-of-state special interests.”

Even worse, my friend just texted me a picture of you with Marjorie Taylor Greene. This really worries me because she is such an extremist. These kind of people do not represent normal Republicans and they certainly don’t represent Democrats.

Please reconsider your extreme views and friends.
