Ohio is one of the most productive states in the Union.
And one of the most exposed.
Built: Intel's $28B Ohio One fab, by Intel's account the largest single private-sector investment in Ohio history.
Exposed:
→ A sitting House Speaker convicted of a bribery scheme funded with ~$60M from FirstEnergy to pass House Bill 6
→ A Chinese MSS officer sentenced to 20 years for trying to steal GE Aviation's jet-engine tech
→ ~$407.6M in disclosed independent expenditures in Ohio's 2022 and 2024 Senate races, primaries included (FEC), part of it from super PACs tied to 501(c)(4)s that need not disclose donors
The question isn't whether Ohio is strong. It plainly is.
It's whether Ohio will govern itself as transparently as it builds.
Behind the paywall: the Recalibration, and the case for closing the 501(c)(4) door.

Seven presidents born on its soil.
Eight, counting William Henry Harrison, who made his home there.
Then keep going:
The Wright Brothers.
Neil Armstrong.
John Glenn.
Oberlin, which in the 1830s opened its doors to Black students and admitted women to its bachelor's program alongside men.
Intel's $28B Ohio One campus, by Intel's account the largest single private-sector investment in Ohio history.
GE Aerospace, whose engines and its partners', by the company's count, power about 3 of every 4 commercial flights.
Ohio's contributions are disproportionate to its visibility in the national conversation.
Behind the paywall: the full accounting of what Ohio built, and a specific charge for its next 25 years.
