Rep. Merrin Sets His Agenda

Published | Video Starts at 02:23

Well, a lot of those issues would have passed, but I think there needs to be a high threshold. You know, you just don't willy nilly start changing the Constitution and creating new rights or taking away people's rights. 60%, 6 out of 10 Ohioans, if they can't agree on something, you know, it's probably better to be left in state law or statute. where, you know, people can change things, amend things easily but once it gets in the Constitution, you know, it's hard to, hard to change.
