Gov. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, speaks at an event at the National Governors Association Winter Meeting, Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026, in Washington.

Gov. Mike DeWine moves to tighten Medicaid measures amid concerns about possible fraud.

Ohio Republicans say "what took so long"? Democrats say "where’s the proof to back up these allegations"?

Meanwhile, the Trump administration tells states to combat fraud or lose Medicaid funding.

School vouchers are back in the news as an appeals court weighs their constitutionality.

It’s an issue that’s awash in politics and conflicting ideas about the future of public education, raising questions about the concept of choice and who should get billions in taxpayer money.

Mark your calendars for Aug. 7: that's when the back-to-school sales tax weekend begins. Gone is the extended holiday and we’ll tell you why.

It's all part of this week's Reporter Roundtable.
