Normal stuff here as multiple members of Ohio House Republican leadership team declined to discuss the $10,000 that Les Wexner donated to their caucus.

No GOP member has signed Rep. Karen Brownlee's resolution calling on Congress to release the full Epstein Files.

Battelle’s Tim Ryan is Tim F. Ryan.

As the picture of the voter file notes, our Tim Ryan is Tim John Ryan. His wife is Andrea Ryan, which matches the other name on the deed of the house in question.

Are we sure this is the right Tim Ryan? Reddit seems to think you have him confused with this guy that works at Battelle:

My good friend the governor has a point

Governor Mike DeWine is set to ban intoxicating hemp products for at least 30 days. I agree with him more than I ever thought possible only a couple of years ago.

Here is the Executive Order that Governor Mike DeWine will sign on Wednesday to ban intoxicating hemp products for 60 days under an order of a public health emergency.

Thanks to a 2021 override of DeWine’s veto, the Legislature has the power to rescind the order after 30 days.

A lobbyist on Craig Reidel: “He’s a nice guy but it’s amazing he makes it out of his house every day in matching clothes.”

Plus owes me $1,000 because he stole my Derek Merrin video without credit or compensation.

The Governor’s issue is with the THCA that is marketed like weed at gas stations.

It’s a hemp derivative that gives you a similar high as normal THCA.

I imagine this could probably end the primary if Ode ever got within 10 points of Sherrod in the polls.

I traveled to Strongsville earlier this month to talk to Fred Ode, the ketamine-invested software tycoon looking to topple Sherrod Brown in the Democratic Senate primary.

The mystery of Fred Ode

Can a late-blooming entrepreneur who claims he has more money than he deserves shock the political world and topple Sherrod Brown?

Records show that in Sept. 2023, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners spent $39,675.45 to send John O'Grady, Erica Crawley and five staffers to Tokyo for “best practices sharing” in how its convention center and tourism bureau “handles visitors.”
