Town Hall Ohio

Spokesmen from both sides of state Issue 2, the highly publicized drug price ballot issue, will present their arguments for and against the measure on Town Hall Ohio.

The radio program is a weekly public affairs show produced by Ohio Farm Bureau. The state Issue 2 debate will air Nov. 4 and Nov. 5, the Saturday and Sunday prior to Election Day.

Matt Borges of Ohio Taxpayers for Lower Drug Prices, the proponents of the measure, and Dale Butland of Ohioans Against the Deceptive Rx Ballot Issue, who oppose the issue, will share their views on the proposal.  

According to the Ohio Secretary of State’s office, the measure “would require state agencies to not pay more for prescription drugs than the federal Department of Veterans Affairs and require state payment of attorney fees and expenses to specific individuals for defense of the law.”  It has been the subject of a highly visible media campaign.

Town Hall Ohio airs on 610 WTVN, Columbus and on 11 other stations throughout Ohio. Stations and airtimes can be found at TownHallOhio.org. The show is also available as a podcast on iTunes. The weekly broadcast presents thoughtful discussion of important issues in the lives of Ohioans.  

 

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Giving farmers a voice
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Farm Bureau involvement
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
