it told every college kid in the state who s legally allowed to vote in ohio they can no longer register to vote in ohio unless they also register their car in ohio, and give a new ohio driver s license. two things that happen to cost a ton of money. ohio republicans stuck that into a transportation bill and sent it to the governor s desk where it appeared it would be signed into law. democrats have been urging governor kasich to veto this poll tax, asking him to use his power to veto that specific provision in the bill. seems like a long shot when democrats were calling for it. today john kasich today said, okay. john kasich decided he would not go for the new student tax. he used his line item veto to take it out of the law. he said it was in the public interest. we talk a lot on this show about red states rolling back voting rights across the country. this is a case where a red state legislature tried to do that.
he in fact used his line item veto to take that provision out of the law. he wrote in a signing message that striking that line from the bill was in the public interest. we talk a lot on this show about red states rolling back voting rights across the country. this is a case where a red state legislature tried to do that. but a red state governor stood in their way. i have to say, i did not see that coming. neat. we ll be right back.
