Show #28 Down in the Valley--Issue 2 According to Youngstown




The Civic Commons Podcast show

Summary: <p>Probably the most well known referendum on Ohio’s November ballot is Issue 2, the repeal of Senate Bill 5. Issue 2 has been igniting debate all over the State, and one of the hot spots for “spirited discussion” has been in the Mahoning Valley. Youngstown, with its proud heritage of union labor and industry (check out their museum <a href="http://www.ohiohistory.org/youngst/">http://www.ohiohistory.org/youngst/</a>), has plenty to say about the politics of Issue 2--so we decided to head down to the WYSU studios and listen. Join Dan and Noelle as they talk with local Party bosses Dave Betras and Mark Munroe (D &amp; R respectively), union members Sherry Linkon of Youngstown State and TJ Assion of the Sherriff's Department, and Bertram de Souza, a not-so-impartial newspaper columnist. Very special thanks this week to WYSU’s Gary Sexton and David Luscher.</p>
