Ohio Voters Marking Ballots On A Number of Statewide issues.

Ohio voters will be weighing in on a total of five statewide issues come election day.

Issue 1 poses a new deadline for "citizen initiated" state ballot issues. If passed it would extend the 90 day deadline to 125 days. Issue 2 allows the state of Ohio to issue $400 million in bonds for the continuation of clean ohio programs.

Issue 3 would allow property owners the right to use the groundwater beneath their land for reasonable uses.

The more controversial issues are 5 and 6.

Issue 5 is what is better known as the payday lending issue. It would allow customers 30 days to repay loans to lenders at 28 percent.

The issue would also allow a customer to borrow from $800 to $500.

If voters pass Issue 6, they would authorize one privately owned casino, with a minimum investment of $600 million.

It would also authorize the casino to conduct any game permitted in the state of Nevada.
