As part of an effort to remind readers and listeners of our ongoing need for paid support we will initially be publishing the interviews in our Summer Series behind a temporary paywall that will be dropped after seven days.
We recently welcomed Ohio Capital Journal Editor David DeWitt into the virtual Franklin Street Studio to give us the low-down on the highest offices in State Government.
We discuss: Gerrymandering, DeWine/Husted HB6, States Newsroom Initiative, Ohio’s billion dollar voucher bonanza and more with full links to articles below…
The intensity and duration of gerrymander that exists in Ohio at the State level and the long term effect it is having on legislation and voters
Some of the latest developments related to the DeWine / Husted administration and the level of their involvement in the expanding, historic HB6 bribery and bail-out scandal
The States Newsroom initiative and the impact of the organization across all 50 states so far. How their project and ours both aim to fill the void left by the collapse of traditional print media and reporting.
The ballooning nature of Ohio’s voucher program and who benefits from the expanding Charter program’s structure - undermining Ohio’s commitment to public education for every child.
