Councilwoman Drops Lawsuit

Councilwoman Drops Lawsuit

Cincinnati Councilwoman Leslie Ghiz dropped a lawsuit against the Ohio Learn & Earn Committee in which she alleged that the group, in circulating ballot petitions, failed to disclose that the measure would legalize gambling in the state. Ghiz had criticized the Committee for removing Cincinnati as a potential casino site in the state. According to an article in the Cincinnati Post, the Committee would send “an undisclosed amount of cash every year for ten years” to the city. The Post claims that as much as $25 million could be sent to the city as part of the settlement, which would be in addition to the $23 million that Hamilton County would already receive under general distribution from the Earn and Learn package. The settlement is, however, based on passage of the measure on November 7.
