Every Ohioan has a reason to vote on May 6.
State Issue 2 is on the ballot.

State Issue 2 

Every ten years or so, Ohio seeks approval from voters to fund Ohio’s State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP). Under SCIP, the state issues bonds to provide local governments in all counties with funds for fixing roads, bridges, sewers and other infrastructure projects. Bonds are repaid using existing revenues – not by raising taxes.

The last 10-year reauthorization was passed in 2014 and is coming to its expected conclusion. As this program relies on an amendment to Ohio’s Constitution to fund it, Ohioans are being asked to vote yes/no on the next round of infrastructure funds.

• A “yes” vote allows the state to issue up to $2.5 billion in general obligation bonds, limited to $250 million per year over 10 years, to assist local governments in funding public infrastructure improvement projects.
• A “no” vote opposes the state issuing up to $2.5 billion in general obligation bonds, limited to $250 million per year over 10 years, to assist local governments in funding public infrastructure improvement projects.
