In November, a proposition to allow construction of gambling casinos in Ohio's major cities will appear on the ballot. Ohio horsemen and former Buckeye State governor George Voinovich, currently a United States Senator on a path to retirement, have adamantly spoken out against the proposed legislation.

What Is Issue 3?

A proposal to construct gambling casinos in Ohio is now composed as Issue 3, scheduled to be sent to the populace for a voting decision on November's ballot. If approved, Issue 3 will give a green light to the building of "free standing" gambling casinos in Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati, and Columbus.

Ohio's major racetracks have been located at:

  • Northfield Park, Northfield (Cleveland area)
  • Thistledown, Cleveland
  • Raceway Park, Toledo
  • Lebanon Raceway, Lebanon (between Dayton and Cincinnati)
  • River Downs, Cincinnati
  • Scioto Downs, Columbus
  • Beulah Park, Grove City (southwest of Columbus)
  • Delaware County Fair(grounds), Delaware

Governor Strickland and Former Governor Voinovich Scrap

In an article by AP Statehouse Correspondent Julie Carr Smith (Voinovich Fiery In Opposition to Slots) that appeared in the September 4 Northwest Signal newspaper (Napoleon, Ohio), Senator Voinovich vilified Ohio Democratic Governor Ted Strickland for the governor's signing of an Executive Order to station video lottery terminals at Ohio racetracks. As many as 2,500 slot-like machines per site were being scheduled for installation before The Ohio Supreme Court stunted the idea, stating that Gov. Strickland could not use the state's budget to authorize VLTs at tracks and the proposal was subject to a statewide vote of Ohioans.
