All day today, people from all over central Ohio formed a steady stream of petitioners at OEA HQ, downtown Columbus. Volunteers from the Columbus Education Association worked shifts manning tables and assisting people signing the petitions.
Even with incessant April showers people still came to show their support for public education and express their disgust with SB5.
