Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has asked the State Supreme Court whether the issue of limiting lawsuits against paint manufacturers can be put on the ballot.

Her request for guidance follows the high court's finding that Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland improperly vetoed a bill that would restrict lawsuits against paint manufacturers.

In a motion for reconsideration or a stay of the ruling, Ms. Brunner said that she “does not contest the court's ruling in this case, and she does not ask the court to revisit its holding that the current governor's attempted veto was invalid,” or the court's ruling that the law must be viewed as enacted and enforced.
