COLUMBUS — The successful campaign to repeal Ohio’s collective bargaining law last fall has drawn teachers and other public workers into Democratic primary races across the state as the party tries to regain seats in the Republican-dominated Legislature that passed the measure.
It’s not often that a Republican Governor and an ACLU legal director are in agreement on something. It’s even rarer if that agreement is over a criminal justice reform bill. Such are the strange times in which we find ourselves in Ohio. The bill was House Bill 86 and its provisions enact broad and sweeping reforms of criminal and juvenile justice.
Law enforcement officials oppose a proposal to drop the state’s requirement for front license plates on vehicles, saying the plates are helpful in tracking down people who break the law.
