One editorial writer, the only one to have a pro-Issue 1 story published this year in Cleveland's biggest newspaper (compared to 36 opposed), said he can't blame readers for "concluding that Issue 1's passage would mean the end of democracy in our state, the draining of Lake Erie, plagues of frogs, flies, and mosquitoes, and quite likely an unbroken string of Ohio States losses to Michigan ..." |
