Analysis: Could Council's recent development moves lead to a rebirth of Charter Committee?

1 week ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

The “law of unintended consequences” is now in effect in Cincinnati. Back in April, when seven of the nine Democrats who make up Cincinnati City Council voted to allow a controversial redevelopment project on Hyde Park Square to go ahead, two things happened that the members who supported it didn’t intend and probably couldn’t have imagined.
Analysis: Warren Davidson says 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is running rampant

2 weeks ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

U.S. Rep. Warren Davidson, a MAGA loyalist from Troy, Ohio, has a new mission for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a federal agency hit hard by the Trump administration with layoffs of personnel, a proposed 40% budget cut, and the termination of research grants for everything from global health to cancer research.
Analysis: Vivek Ramaswamy's unusual path to be Ohio's next governor

2 weeks ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

Vivek Ramaswamy, if he succeeds in becoming Ohio’s 65th governor, may be the most unlikely occupant of that office in the state’s history. The governor who started his political career as a failed candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and went on to fail in his bid for appointment to a vacant U.S. Senate seat in January. What he has been good at is making money. He is a billionaire worth $1.1 billion, according to Forbes magazine.
Analysis: Ohio Supreme Court's boneless chicken wing decision comes back to haunt

3 weeks ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

Remember the “boneless chicken wings” decision last summer by the Republican majority on the Ohio Supreme Court? Do you remember all the laughter and derision from legal scholars and media pundits who found it oh-so amusing that the highest court in the state would find that a restaurant could advertise “boneless chicken wings” that in fact included bones? Well, nobody’s laughing now.
Analysis: Cory Bowman wants to be Cincinnati's next mayor. Or does he?

1 month ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

Yes, Tuesday’s Cincinnati mayoral primary was non-partisan, with no party labels on the ballot. But low-turnout elections like this tend to attract high-information voters; and the electorate — those who bothered to show up — knew exactly who and what they were voting for when they made Democratic incumbent Aftab Pureval and Republican newcomer Cory Bowman the top two vote-getters in a three-person primary, where Pureval earned 83% of the vote, and Bowman 13%.
Analysis: Amy Acton's journey from pandemic personage to politics

1 month ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

Being the face of the 2020 COVID pandemic for millions of Ohioans might be a two-edged sword for a candidate for Ohio governor like Dr. Amy Acton. On one edge, you are the calm, authoritative voice who stood by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine every day through the worst of the public health crisis, giving Ohioans your advice and expertise as director of the Ohio Department of Health and, in the end, saving an untold number of lives.
Analysis: Voting rights under assault on two fronts, advocates say

1 month ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

Voting rights advocates in Ohio say they know one thing is for certain when it comes to legislation disenfranchising voters: If the current U.S. Congress doesn’t do it, the Republicans in the Ohio General Assembly surely will. All in the name of eliminating a “problem” that is virtually non-existent: preventing non-citizens from voting in federal elections. Voting by non-citizens is something that has been illegal in the U.S. since 1924, when Calvin Coolidge was president.
Analysis: Ohio House Republicans say 'yes' to a football stadium, 'no' to public schools

1 month ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

What Ohio House Republicans want to do with the state budget is, to some, the textbook definition of bad optics. In other words, it just doesn’t look good. “Bad optics” usually is something people want to avoid. Here's how that's currently playing out in Ohio's Statehouse:The GOP House leadership is poised to hand Dee and Jimmy Haslam, the principal owners of the Cleveland Browns, $600 million to finance bonds for the building of a $3.4 billion domed stadium in the Cleveland suburb of Brook Park.
Analysis: Ramaswamy's Super PAC uses Trump to scare off the competition

2 months ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

For the past month, many Ohio voters have likely been scratching their heads over why they are seeing TV ads touting Vivek Ramaswamy’s candidacy for Ohio governor 14 months before a single Ohioan casts a 2026 primary ballot and 20 months before the 2026 general election. It's a good question. Here’s the answer:The ads — all $2.2 million’s worth of them — are not meant to persuade you, dear voter.
Analysis: Ohio bracing for the impact of dismantling U.S. Department of Education

2 months ago | wvxu.org | Howard Wilkinson

When President Trump staged an elaborate White House signing of an executive order last week aimed at dismantling the U.S. Department of Education, Ohio’s Republican governor, Mike DeWine, was sitting in the front row, his face lit up with an approving smile. There can be no question that DeWine, in his second and final term as governor, heartily approves of Trump’s stated goal of returning authority over public education to the 50 states.
