Look like we just might have some competition...
Pro SB5 group will become official on Tuesday
The group that will lead the effort to save Senate Bill 5 from a November referendum effort is expected to officially file with the secretary of state’s office on Tuesday.
The group is expected to file as a nonprofit 501c4, with an affiliated political action committee. Such a setup could allow the group to hide the sources of its contributions, but those familiar with the effort say the plan is to voluntarily disclose all contributors to the secretary of state.
The group will battle head-to-head with We Are Ohio, the coalition of union supporters that is currently collecting the 231,000 signatures needed to place the collective-bargaining-slashing law on the ballot in an attempt to overturn it. One month into signature gathering, We Are Ohio was well on its way to getting enough names.
Vaughn Flasher, a veteran lobbyist and Republican political consultant who since 2006 has run the Senate GOP’s campaign committee, will lead the pro-Senate Bill 5 team.
