Yeah, as described, that's not at all saying people don't get a say. The idea that a bare majority can amend the constitution is I think a bad one.

Obviously 'we don't like this proposed amendment so we're going to make it harder to pass' is not a good reason for this and pretty transparent political maneuvering, but as a general matter of policy/governmental structure I would personally favor a change like that in Ohio (sans NobodyHere's concerns) and my main question would be whether 60% is high enough.
