Report: Nixing Ohio property tax could lead to 15% income tax, 18% sales tax The grassroots effort to eliminate property taxes entirely is gathering steam, and elected officials — including the Ohio governor and others — say if it comes to fruition, it would be a crisis.

Acton: Ramaswamy sees Ohio from window of private jet. He doesn't get what you need. Amy Acton: Vivek Ramaswamy is completely out of touch with the lives of everyday Ohioans. Medicaid and Medicare shouldn't be put in his hands.

Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t understand the stakes Ohioans are facing, and he never will.

This isn’t a matter of cutting back at the grocery store or pinching pennies; it’s catastrophic.

In years past, if it was postmarked by election day & arrived four days after the election, you were good. Now you don’t get that grace period

Voting is a right, but in Ohio it is also something you have to double check.

With voter purges continuing under Secretary of State Frank LaRose, many eligible voters have been removed from the rolls.

ICE targeting immigrant families creates fear and harms children - while doing nothing to lower costs, protect healthcare, or support working families. Our communities deserve better.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."
