It's a travesty. It was reported in the Akron Beacon Journal (finally) today. A bit late. WE sent out the troops and had a lot of clients and others riled up with e-mails and calls.
Sad to say, not enough (and the comment in the Beacon about the bill sponsor particularly noted "greedy lawyers" allegedly trying to take advantage).
We must get a referendum on this sucker. Fred was right; we need to buckle up and fight for our clients and our own livelihoods in Ohio. ("Oh, Toto, I think we ARE back in Kansas again.") I would think even Republicans would have had hesitations about this, if Democrats ever get into power again We3 should all resent the ultra conservatives' professed hatred of government -- and their hypocracy. We should utilize the power to stop it.
We certainly need to come together for the coming fight on Chapter 4112.

Thought everyone would like to read about our new lack of public records law. I happened upon the article during some internet research. Below is the link:
