A divided Ohio Supreme Court agreed to hear proposition of law number 3, the standing issue, in ProgressOhio.org, Inc. v. JobsOhio, 2012-1272. Docket. Here is a Plain Dealer article on the decision.
There is an interesting pro-standing amicus brief by the conservative group, the 1851 Center.
Besides the standing issue, appellant’s other propositions of law assert that ORC 187 creating the JobsOhio Corporation, violates various provisions of the Ohio Constitution, including separation of powers, open courts, Article 13 Section 1 & 2 (regarding corporate powers), debt limit provision, and Section 22, Article II (appropriations by legislature).
