More than 100 rally to repeal SB5

There were dozens of Democrats and other folks interested in ending John Kasich's threat to the middle class at the Rally for Repeal May 15 at Upper Arlington High School.

There was brisk business at the table where petitions were available for voters to sign. And all three Columbus television stations interviewed Gov. Strickland, who defended teachers, firefighters, police officers, nurses and other public employees against the attack of extremists.
