Any doubt that Ohio is a red state was laid to rest in November. Democrats lost in nearly all races and are even more outnumbered. So what went wrong and how do Democrats in Ohio move forward? In this episode, Ohio Statehouse Scoop host Jo Ingles delves into those questions. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler talked with some of the party's key players. And Statehouse News Bureau Reporter Sarah Donaldson joins the discussion to explore the role Democrats will play in the next couple of years.

The election is over and former President Donald Trump was even more popular with Ohioans than any other time he's been on the ballot. Trump won the Buckeye State by 12 points (according to unofficial numbers). And that red wave washed away long-time U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, the defacto leader of the state's Democrats. So what does this all mean? In this week's Ohio Statehouse Scoop, host Jo Ingles is joined by Brianna Mack, assistant professor of politics and government at Ohio Wesleyan University, and Paul Beck, professor emeritus of political science at Ohio State University to talk about the message voters sent. And Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson join Jo to talk about the effects this election could have on the Ohio Legislature.

This week is the final full week of early voting leading up to the November 5 election. Ohio Statehouse Scoop host Jo Ingles reports on voter confusion over Issue 1. She is joined by reporter Sarah Donaldson and Bureau Chief Karen Kasler to talk about what's behind the enormous number of challenges of voter registrations at local boards of elections and discuss efforts by the state to bring charges of wrongdoing by a handful of voters, including one voter who passed away two years ago. Plus a judge has ruled Ohio's six-week abortion ban is unconstitutional but the state could appeal some parts of that law. And we remember JoAnn Davidson, the first and only woman to lead the Ohio House of Representatives.

Controversy over immigration continues in Springfield as Republicans make their pilgrimage there to talk politics and those at the top of the ticket still refer to the Southwest Ohio city as an example of the problem with immigration. And there's controversy at the Ohio Statehouse as a Republican-dominated panel that decides language for ballot issues adopts wording that angers backers of a proposed constitutional amendment to change the redistricting process. Ohio Statehouse Scoop host Jo Ingles has more on those stories. And Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Reporter Sarah Donaldson and Bureau Chief Karen Kasler weigh in with their thoughts on those issues.

The city of Springfield, Ohio has been in the news a lot recently because of claims made about Haitian immigrants who live there. Many of them are there legally. Republicans, including Vice Presidential candidate and U.S. Senator J.D. Vance, have been making controversial comments on social media about the immigrants living there. In last week's debate, former President Donald Trump echoed some of those claims. And in the days that have followed, Springfield has been forced to close schools, government offices, and even lockdown the local hospitals and medical centers because of threats made against those facilities. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Reporter Sarah Donaldson has been on the ground in Springfield. She, along with Bureau Chief Karen Kasler, join Ohio Statehouse Scoop host Jo Ingles to talk about what's happening in Springfield, as well as why the state is suing schools in Columbus for failing to bus some students.

Are you ready to vote? Are you sure? More than 155,000 voter registrations have been removed from the poll books so you had better check to make sure you are still registered. But you need to hurry because the voter registration deadline is October 7. Groups that want to register new voters know that deadline looms. So they are embarking on efforts to get new voters. Ohio Statehouse Scoop host Jo Ingles watched one of those groups in action last week as they helped Ohio Wesleyan University students register to vote. Ingles spoke with Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose about new voting laws that are on the books. And, Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson talk about what's being done to get out the vote and how those efforts might affect the upcoming election.

Supporters of an amendment on Ohio's ballot this fall have taken the Ballot Board to court over the summary majority Republicans on that panel adopted. The summary is the language voters will see on the ballot and backers of the amendment say it is misleading, inaccurate and partisan, thereby making it unconstitutional. We'll explore those claims with Citizens Not Politicians spokesman Chris Davey, Republican State Senator Rob McColley, Democratic Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio, and Democratic House Minority Leader Allison Russo. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson join Ohio Statehouse Scoop host Jo Ingles to discuss other happenings at the Statehouse last week. And we look back at the national political conventions and look forward to the campaigns.

Last week was the first for sales of legal marijuana to adults in Ohio. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau reporter Sarah Donaldson covered that story and shared her experiences with Ohio Statehouse Scoop podcast host Jo Ingles. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler joined the conversation to talk about what comes next. Also, Associated Press Reporter Julie Carr Smyth talks about her experience in Pennsylvania recently, covering the rally during which former President Donald Trump was injured after an assassination attempt.

To get a handle on how this is playing out in Ohio, we talked to four veteran political observers: progressive activist Morgan Harper, Republican strategist Terry Casey, Ohio Public Radio reporter Jo Ingles and Cleveland.com reporter Andrew Tobias.

This is the last scheduled week for the Ohio General Assembly to meet before going on a long summer break. The big ticket item on this week's agenda is a $4 billion capital bill. It's believed to be the largest in state history. Ohio Statehouse Scoop host Jo Ingles talks to her Ohio Public Media Statehouse Bureau colleagues, Karen Kasler and Sarah Donaldson, about the big spending bill and other legislation that might be addressed this week.

Home valuations are up in Ohio. And in some parts of the state, valuations have spiked more than 30%. Since property taxes are based on valuations, some homeowners are likely to get a big shock when they open their next tax bill. Lawmakers say their voters are worried about it. So what is the legislature doing about it? Lawmakers have introduced more than a dozen bills, have a committee looking into it, and are even considering putting an issue before voters statewide to deal with spiking property tax rates. But it ends there. Most political watchers think meaningful property tax reforms are unlikely this year. Ohio Statehouse Scoop host Jo Ingles explores what's being done and, just as importantly, what's not being done. She's joined by Ohio Rep. Scott Wiggam (R-Wayne County), Buckeye Institute Research Fellow Greg Lawson, and Ohio Policy Matters Executive Director Hannah Halbert. At the end of the podcast, Ohio Public Media Statehouse Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson join Jo to weigh in on their observations.

There are bills that are introduced in the Ohio Legislature that seem to have popular support yet they never seem to be passed. In this episode, Ohio Statehouse Scoop host Jo Ingles identifies some of those bills. She talks with Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler about why those bills often are not passed by Ohio's General Assemblies.

The Ohio Legislature held a special session last week after Gov. Mike DeWine took the rare step of ordering lawmakers to come back on their week off to do a couple of things. DeWine said he wanted lawmakers to ensure President Biden would be on the November ballot. And he wanted lawmakers to pass a provision that would make it harder for outside groups to wage campaigns. They did both but not without a lot of drama. Ohio Public Media's Jo Ingles talks to Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler about what happened.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine took an unusual step and ordered the Ohio Legislature to come back into session the week beginning with Memorial Day. Many lawmakers had planned vacations for that week. But DeWine said it's important the legislature come back to deal with putting Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on the November ballot. As it stands now, Biden won't be certified by his party in time to make it on the ballot this fall. Lawmakers can change that as they've done for both parties in the past but they haven't so far. Now that lawmakers are coming back during the holiday week, the question turns to what will they do? DeWine also wants the legislature to pass a bill that would make it harder for citizens to finance ballot initiatives. What will happen with that? Ohio Statehouse Scoop podcast host Jo Ingles talks to Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler about what is likely to happen this coming week.

A state rule-making agency is allowing existing medical marijuana suppliers to start the process for selling recreational marijuana next month, provided they meet certain criteria. Also, Ohio is going to have plenty of orange barrels on the highways this summer as road repairs and upgrades are made.

And Ohio Department of Transportation spokesman Matt Bruning talks about new road construction projects this week on the Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau's Ohio Statehouse Scoop.

On April 10, 2024, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine delivered his “State of the State” address to a packed Ohio statehouse audience. Now in his second term, the Governor's remarks were notably focused on key initiatives aimed to benefit the state's youth, with special emphasis on improving the health and education of Ohio's children and students. His remarks touched both on recent accomplishments and his hopes for the next steps state lawmakers might take on key issues, including programs intended to improve infant care, create school-based health clinics, and improve access to quality childcare. With veteran Statehouse News Bureau journalist Jo Ingles, we sit down with Ohio's 70th governor, Mike DeWine, for a wide-ranging conversation unpacking his 2024 “State of the State” address and a look at what Ohio's future may hold.  Featuring:   Mike DeWine, Governor, State of Ohio   And host Jo Ingles, Journalist & Producer, Statehouse News Bureau  This forum was sponsored by ACT Ohio, Cardinal Health, The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, The Ohio State University, Public Sector Consulting, and WOSU Public Media  The livestream presenting sponsor was The Center for Human Kindness at The Columbus Foundation. The livestream partner was The Columbus Dispatch.  It was supported by The Ellis.  This forum was recorded before a live audience at The Ellis in Columbus, Ohio's historic Italian Village on May 8, 2024.  

For 112 years, Ohio has had Home Rule protections in its Constitution that give communities the right to determine their own policies on important issues involving governing. But during the past couple of decades, cities and towns throughout Ohio have seen some of their power erode as the state has increasingly taken control over key policies. In this episode, Ohio historian Tom Suddes talks about the tradition of local control in Ohio. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and podcast host, Jo Ingles, explore what is happening to local control now and changes that might lie ahead. And Rep. Sara Carruthers (R-Hamilton) talks about a piece of legislation she's sponsoring that would give some local control back to communities when it comes to cracking down on puppy mills.

And Ohio Governor Mike DeWine laid out his plans for the future of Ohio in his annual State of the State speech. And he is focusing on the needs of kids.

This CMC forum features an in-depth conversation with former Ohio governor Richard F. Celeste, author of the recent book, In the Heart of It All. Celeste rose from humble beginnings in northeast Ohio to reach the Ohio governor's residence and beyond. His new book recounts Celeste's childhood in Lakewood, Ohio, where his politically ambitious father eventually served as mayor. Awarded a scholarship to attend Yale University, Celeste studied history and later became a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford; while living overseas, he met and quickly married his first wife, Dagmar Braun. Upon returning from Oxford, Celeste expected to begin a teaching career but was recruited to serve as a liaison for Peace Corps volunteers in Latin America, and the young couple relocated to Washington, DC, where they became friendly with Chet and Steb Bowles. When President Kennedy appointed Chet Bowles US ambassador to India, he invited Dick to work as his personal assistant. There, under Bowles's tutelage, Dick began to consider a political career of his own. Celeste returned to Ohio and successfully ran for the Ohio House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1970. After serving two terms, he was elected lieutenant governor in 1974 but lost the 1978 governor's race by a slim margin. Celeste worked in DC as director of the Peace Corps while plotting his next move, and in 1982, his gubernatorial campaign resulted in a landslide victory. He served two terms as Ohio's governor, tackling an epic savings and loan crisis along with mental health reform and job creation. He considered but dismissed a presidential campaign in 1988. He went on to serve as ambassador to India under President Clinton, traveling there with his second wife, Jacqueline Lundquist, and bringing his career full circle. The panelists are: Richard F. Celeste, Former Ohio Governor, 1983-1991 Jo Ingles, Journalist/Producer, Statehouse News Bureau This forum was sponsored by The Ohio State University and Event Marketing Strategies. It was supported by the Grange Insurance Audubon Center. The forum livestream was supported by The Center for Human Kindness at The Columbus Foundation and The Columbus Dispatch.

In 2019, Ohio elected officials enacted a law to provide more than $1 billion in bailouts for private nuclear and coal-fired power plants with ratepayer money. Federal Justice Department officials later linked the law to more than $60 million in bribes. Former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, who along with others was implicated in the scandal, is expected to stand trial beginning in January 2023 for his alleged role in the scheme. Meanwhile, House Bill 6 remains on the books in Ohio and sits at the center of the largest corruption case in the state's history, allegedly fueled primarily by so-called “dark money” from Akron-based electric utility FirstEnergy and current or former affiliates. This CMC forum untangles the ongoing HB6 scandal in Ohio, unpacks the impact on ratepayers and the environment, and examines what can be done to mitigate the damage done to Ohio's energy policy by “dark money.” The panelists are: Ashley Brown, Former Two-Term Commissioner, Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, and Founding Executive Director, Harvard Electricity Policy Group David DeVillers, Partner, Barnes & Thornburg, and Former U.S. Attorney, Assistant U.S. Attorney and State Prosecutor   Kathiann Kowalski, Journalist, Eye On Ohio and the Energy News Network   The host is Jo Ingles, Journalist, Producer, Statehouse News Bureau The forum sponsor was Barnes & Thornburg, with support from the Grange Insurance Audubon Center.
