State Issue 1 would make it worse\u201d , and your June 8 commentary \u201cChange to 88 counties under State Issue 1 would effectively kill Ohio grassroots amendment proposals\u201d- leads one to surmise you have strong opinions in opposition to Issue 1.\nSo let\u2019s look at some of these issues and breakdown for our listeners & viewers- Ohio Issue #1- on the statewide ballot now through August 8, 2023.\nohiocapitaljournal.com\nhttps://twitter.com/DC_DeWitt\n\nGrassRoot Ohio - Conversations with everyday people working on important issues, here in Columbus and all around Ohio.\nEvery Friday 5:00pm, EST on 94.1FM & streaming worldwide @ WGRN.org,\nSundays at 2:00pm EST on 92.7/98.3 FM and streams @ WCRSFM.org, and Sundays at 4:00pm EST, at 107.1 FM, Wheeling/Moundsville WV on WEJP-LP FM.\nContact Us if you would like GrassRoot Ohio on your local station.\nFace Book: www.facebook.com/GrassRootOhio/\nInstagram: www.instagram.com/grassroot_ohio/\nSoundCloud! @user-42674753\nApple Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/.../grassroot-ohio/id1522559085\nYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCAX2t1Z7_qae803BzDF4PtQ/\nIntro and Exit music for GrassRoot Ohio is "Resilient" by Rising Appalachia: youtu.be/tx17RvPMaQ8\nThere's a time to listen and learn, a time to organize and strategize, And a time to Stand Up/ Fight Back!
