Inside the Ohio Capitol

 - 




Before Ohio Senate started the final vote on Senate Bill 5 to limit collective bargaining yesterday, opponents gathered inside the chamber and made their (singing) voices heard. The tally went 17-16, the same as on the original version.
The bill had passed the House by 53-44. The Ohio Capitol Blog posts video of opponents in the gallery erupting in anger (around :30), chanting "Shame on you! Shame on you!" among other things. You can hear House Speaker William G. Batchelder allowing members of the House to announce the time and location of tomorrow's committee meetings, their announcements are drowned out by the protesters above.
