Thanks to a Geauga Lobbyist for sending this link dealing with Issue 1. It is the only item on the August 8th special election. Issue 1, if passed, will change how our State Constitution is amended. Currently, a “50% plus 1” vote will permit an amendment to our State Constitution. An “YES” vote on Issue 1 will raise the threshold to 60% of voters to amend the State Constitution.
