Senator Turner Comments on SB 5 Anniversary


Today, State Senator Nina Turner (D-Cleveland) issued the following statement on the anniversary of nearly 1.3 million signatures being submitted to the Secretary of State to repeal Senate Bill 5:

“Today is a fitting time to reflect upon the events of one year ago when Ohioans submitted more than a million signatures to put the repeal of Senate Bill 5 on the ballot and send a clear message to an overreaching, Republican-controlled General Assembly.

“I was proud to stand with police officers, firefighters, teachers, and other labor groups in opposition to Senate Bill 5 last year. And I am proud to stand with them today in continued support of collective bargaining rights and a prosperous middle class. Together we turned back a partisan attack on workers’ rights and together we can build a strong and vibrant Ohio where the rights of its citizens are respected and protected for generations to come.”
