Becker Presses DeWine

A conservative lawmaker takes his frustration over Ohio’s coronavirus public health orders to a new level…by demanding that criminal charges be filed against fellow Republican, Gov. Mike DeWine. Rep. John Becker, a Republican from Cincinnati, says DeWine has exceeded his authority under state law…and the Ohio and U.S. constitutions…in issuing orders, restricting Ohioans movements and activities. A reviewing prosecutor dismisses the request for charges almost immediately, and a DeWine spokesman calls the move, absurd.
