You haven’t heard much about these two issues but they are important for the practice of real estate in Ohio.
A YES vote on Issue 2 will renew the existing $400 Million Clean Ohio Fund – but WILL NOT raise taxes. This fund preserves the natural areas and farmlands, protects waterways and redevelops urban areas to foster economic growth. It also helps clean up polluted industrial sites – which in turn also helps urban areas in many ways.
A YES on ISSUE 3 will prevent potential inference of private water rights that could result from a misinterpretation of provisions in the Great Lakes Compact. The end goal of Issue 3 is to protect landowners’ rights to the “reasonable use” of water on or running under their property.
