Protests non-inclusion in Gambling Forum
Editor's note: this message refers to Forum 2 of the WMUB/Dayton Daily News Election Issues Forums, broadcast live from Dayton on Tuesday, October 3, 2006.
You can hear this Forum as a podcast -- paste http://www.wmub.org/rss/ElecForum06.xml in your podcast aggregator.
The group that did participant in the Forum in opposition to Issue 3 is Citizens for Community Values. The Ohio Roundtable, affiliated with the American Policy Roundtable, describes themselves as sponsoring Vote No Casinos, the official organization in opposition to Issue 3. Here's a link to the American Policy/Ohio Roundtable Issue 3 web page.
We appreciate the coverage your station is dedicating to Ohio Ballot Issue #3. We are more than surprised to discover that no effort was made by your station to contact the Vote No Casinos Committee, which is leading the opposition to Issue #3 and has written the official opposition argument distributed by the state of Ohio. Please be advised that your program tonight, while it may appear balanced, in fact does not have representation from the Ohio campaign committee opposing Mr. Clark's Learn and Earn Committee. While we mean no disrespect in any way to Mr. Miller or his organization, he does not speak for the Vote No Casinos Committee co-chaired by Auditor Betty Montgomery and David Zanotti, President of the Ohio Roundtable. We hope you will make it clear to your listeners that the Committee is not being represented on your panel discussion this evening. We hope in the future you will contact the Committee and give us a fair opportunity to present the formal case against Learn and Earn.
