Let The Debate Begin

The two Democrats…trying to unseat Gov. DeWine…took turns Tuesday criticizing the governor and his party…for overseeing years of corruption and decline across the state. Meeting in their first primary debate, ex-Cincinnati Mayor, John Cranley and former Dayton Mayor, Nan Whaley blamed DeWine for enabling the $60 million statehouse bribery scheme…failing to pass meaningful gun reforms…and flip-flopping on mask mandates. The result, Cranley said, is that Ohioans are falling behind most Americans. Ohio’s unemployment rate has rebounded from the pandemic and is slightly lower than what it was two years ago, but the workforce has shrunk by about 190,000 people.
