If state ballot Issue 1 seems like a no brainer, that’s because it is. It would allow the state of Ohio to issue $200 million in bonds to provide cash bonuses for Ohio veterans of the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
This would be similar to measures that Ohio voters have passed since 1921 to provide bonuses to military personnel returning home from World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Approval of Issue 1 would give this generation of Ohio veterans well-deserved recognition for their service and sacrifices to their state and country. The bonuses would also help these veterans transition from the military into civilian life once they’ve completed their service — help that’s all the more needed with the current poor economy.
Vote yes on state Issue 1.
