U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, the lone Democrat in the Senate race, and businessman Bernie Moreno, one of five declared Republicans for the seat, raised the most money from donors in the second quarter while two other Republicans — Josh Mandel and Mike Gibbons — each have more than $5 million in their campaign accounts. And most of the candidates raised money in a somewhat unique manner. It’s debatable ...
While Ohio saw an increase in COVID-19 cases this week, Mahoning and Trumbull had declines and dropped all the way down to 54th and 61st, respectively, among the state’s 88 counties on the list of highest cases per 100,000 residents.

To Bruce Zoldan, it was like being slapped in the face and then getting punched in the gut. Just about a mile from one of his largest Phantom Fireworks stores, Gov. Mike DeWine, with prompting from me, explained why he had vetoed a bill that overwhelmingly passed in the state Legislature legalizing consumer-grade fireworks. DeWine was in our area last Friday. He first was in North Lima to sign a bill naming ...
