The Ohio Ballot Board has given the green light to a group that wants to put a constitutional amendment before voters next year that would raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour.
That’s nearly $5 more than the state’s current minimum wage of $10.10 an hour.
Corey Columbo, a Columbus attorney who represents the group Raise the Wage Ohio said this summary is similar to a proposal the Ballot Board approved last year.
