The casino group, MyOhioNow.com, needs more than 400,000 signatures by August to put a constitutional amendment on the November ballot that would authorize a $600 million casino resort off Interstate 71 midway between Columbus and Cincinnati.
MyOhioNow.com, which is led by Cleveland-area investors Rick A. Lertzman and Brad A. Pressman, has hired a petition firm to round up signatures across Ohio’s 88 counties. Lertzman and Pressman said their 1,100 petition circulators today represents one of the largest signature-gathering efforts in Ohio history.
