Supporters of an initiative to bring casino gambling to Ohio want to take their case to the voters.

Petitions will be filed Friday asking that the Ohio Jobs and Growth Plan be placed on the November ballot.

The plan is a proposal for an amendment to the Ohio constitution that would allow casinos in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo.

They argue that casino gambling has the potential to bring up to 20,000 jobs to the state, as well as more than half a billion dollars in tax revenue.

The petitions will be delivered to the loading dock behind 180 E. Broad St. and will be unloaded by members of various labor unions.
