BREAKING! Political committee may be forming to proposal unicameral legislature amendment

Apparently, I'm not alone.  I've received an e-mail tip from a credible source that informs me that a person is meeting with political consultants and getting the necessary paperwork from the Secretary of State's office to form a campaign committee to put forth a constitutional amendment to eliminate the State Senate.

I'm going to try to get in direct contract with the people involved to learn more, but it looks like frustration with the State Senate, as an institution, is building due to the Senate Republicans trying to drag the budget impasse out, in Chairman DeWine's own words, to make Strickland pay a political price.

Not surprisingly, Senate President Bill Harris has apparently decided it's time for the grownups to take charge and wrestle the microphone away from freshman Senator/'10 GOP statewide candidate Jon Husted (R-???) and made an olive branch to Governor Strickland.

Regardless, it's pretty clear that both sides are committed to expanding gambling in some form as a means to generate enough revenue to have a balanced budget.  Neither side is willing to either make further cuts or freeze or raise tax rates or fees any further.
