COLUMBUS, Ohio - The group behind State Issue 2 has recruited former Cleveland mayor, state senator and Congressman Dennis Kuchinich to help out their cause.
"Ohio taxpayers, based on studies by experts, will save $400 million a year," Kuchinich said Monday at a press conference near the Statehouse.
Kucinich claims drug companies need taxpayers to subsidize falling profits. But issue 2's opponents say the Drug Price Standards Initiative is written vaguely and would open Ohio's pharmaceutical industry to lawsuits, red tape and excessive bureaucracy.
