Title: Issue 7
Post by: jay on October 16, 2014, 05:35:04 AM
I noticed the people opposed to Issue 7 have started to place signs around the community.  I wonder who is funding this "vote no" campaign.

By law persons or organizations supporting or opposing a candidate or issue are required to identify themselves and file a report with the Secretary of State, and THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. Anyone failing to do so is subject to a term in prison and a hefty fine.
Did you take the time to actually examine the sign carefully to see who sponsored it or did you just glance at it then go your way?

I understand that a campaign committee has to identify itself on campaign signs and campaign literature.  What I want to know is who are the individuals, companies or councilmen that are actually putting up the money to fund the campaign committee.

Now that my astute friend is a very good question, but unfortunately we will have to wait until the committee files with the Secretary of State to get the list you, and I desire, and I await it with bated breath. Needless to say the the committee is keeping a very low profile which is suspicious ... no campaign mailings ... no ads ... no radio or TV interviews.

WHY ARE THE ANTI - ISSUE 7 COWARDS AFRAID TO DEBATE THE ISSUE IN A PUBLIC FORUM TELEVISED ON EITHER WKBN, WYTV, OR WFMJ?

The organization funding and leading the campaign against issue 7 is the

I received a "Vote Yes On Issue 7" post card in the mail today. 

I haven't seen any yard signs so far.

There won't be yard signs as they didn't have the financing for it, but I received my mailer today as well.
