Brian Rothenberg of ProgressOhio made the following statement on the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas decision to not grant a Temporary Restraining Order on Kasich's prison privatization scheme lawsuit, ProgressOhio v. State of Ohio:

"This is just one act in a long journey through the Court system. We are disappointed in this initial ruling, but the Judge clearly indicated in this decision that the denial of the right of referendum is problematic for the Defendants. We are confident going forward that there are significant Constitutional issues here that will be adjudicated and we look forward to the preliminary injunction hearing."
