At least 220 people died in Ohio county jails over the past four years. @lbischoff and I spent over a year trying to find out why they died and how the state regulates jails.

That is some spin! The Ohio Supreme Court told the Ohio Redistricting Commission to get back to work on state legislative districts in July 2022. The Commission fails to reconvene until today and there's so much in fighting they don't even get started. #FairMaps

The @UAW today walked off the job at strategic Big 3 plants, including Stellantis Toledo Assembly Complex. Their Master Agreement with Ford, GM & Stellantis expired without reaching a new deal. This is the first time UAW has struck all 3 automakers.

Opinion:
"While SB83 is being offered as Ohio-specific, this bill is actually copycat legislation — part of a national trend of tamping down the supposed threat of “wokeness,”

And there it is. Once one of the most powerful elected officials in Ohio, former House Speaker Larry Householder is sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for taking a $61 million bribe to bail out two nuclear power plants. https://t.co/il6qWeHpDO

BUDGET UPDATE: According to @matthuffman1 negotiations are trending toward cutting the Senate’s higher Ed package (SB 83 and 117), keeping universal vouchers and the K-12 overhaul (SB 1), and using the House’s funding numbers for K-12.

[Honesty For Ohio Education @Honesty4OhioEd]

HB 8 (the Unsafe Students Act) is scheduled for a POSSIBLE VOTE TOMORROW in the House Primary & Secondary Education Committee, even though the committee has had zero opportunity for public testimony since they amended the "don’t say gay/trans" language into the bill.

No child should have to go to bed hungry in Ohio. No family should have to choose whether to pay rent or see a doctor.

But Ohio Senate Republicans have proposed a budget that devastates families with low-incomes to benefit the wealthy.

The 7,700-page budget bill, released Tuesday, incl. plan for universal vouchers, changes to school funding formula and Senate Bill 1, which would change oversight of K-12 education. Senate leaders also plan to incorporate SB83, a higher education overhaul

This exchange between two #Ohio legislators is truly disturbing. There is no "debating" the Holocaust.

We have to stop the Higher Education Destruction Act (SB 83 & HB 151)
