The ACLU has a real limp wristed approach to the bill saying it brings us "frightenly close to a show me your papers society" when apparently the bill says you will be arrested if you don't show your papers. Hopefully they will take a real stand against this and not comprimise us further down the police state.

This is why we need to demand our State and federal legislators to show what bills are being voted on. I have never heard of this and I read 3 papers daily, watch local news, and pay as best attention to what goes on in all levels of government as possible, and I have never heard of it. Yet, it has passed through legislature and now sits on Taft's desk?
Either the GOP falsely believe this will get them re-elected and have people forget the last year full of scandals OR they are playing Taft as a total idiot and are working to wipe out any political future he may have as a dog catcher in the Cincy area...... OR they are truly ignorant and underestimate the fact that the people will not be happy.
If it's too serious we may end up losing what little tourism we have left in this state. Which truly would bankrupt this state as they heavily depend on the tax revenue and income generated by Cedar Point, King's Island, Lake Erie, the state parks and the sports teams.
