Performance Review
It’s been a pretty busy 100 days in office for our Republican governor. So far, Mike DeWine has raised taxes, proposed a budget that has big increases in social programs and public education, and proposed spending surplus money on environmental programs.
He’s signed an executive order related to renew protections for transgender state employees. He’s put a halt to executions and come out in support of some gun control legislation.
One could argue that the only truly conservative thing he’s done – and it's a big one – is sign one of the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the country: the "Heartbeat Bill."
Snollygoster Of The Week
A group of savvy lobbyists did the impossible at the Statehouse: They got every state senator to agree on something. That's right, a group of Ohio school children are leading the effort to make the Dunkleostues terrelli Ohio’s official state fossil fish.
