Casino Ballot Initiative Endorsed by Ohio AFL-CIO 

During its May 29 Executive Board meeting the Ohio AFL- CIO endorsed a statwide Casino initiative which is scheduled to appear on the Ohio ballot this November. 
This ballot proposal will bring four first-class casinos: one in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Toledo. 

Additional benefits of the Ohio Jobs and Growth Plan include: 

• An estimated 34,000 new jobs 
• $200 million in up-front licensing fees to state government 
• Nearly $2 billion in estimated gross annual gaming revenues
• $1 billion in required economic investment by the developers to be focused on the building sites in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Toledo. 
• 33% guaranteed tax on all gross annual revenues, resulting in an estimated $651 million of tax revenue distributed annually across Ohio. 

The Ohio Jobs and Growth Committee collected the required amount of signatures to place the issue on the ballot and has begun the campaign to communicate the 
benefits of establishing these first class Casinos in Ohio. For details about the the Ohio Jobs and Growth Committee and the initiative go to http://yesonissue3.com/

Ohio voters will have the opportunity to approve a statewide ballot initiative on November 3 that, if passed, will create 34,000 new jobs and mandates $1 billion in private investment, $200 million in licensing fees, and an estimated $651 million annually in tax revenue for all Ohio counties, cities and school districts. The amendment - which calls for one full-service, first-class casino within each of the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and Toledo - has been certified by the Secretary of State to appear on the November ballot.
