Ohio Politics

You may know that there is a push to put a casino in Ohio. Previous attempts at bringing casino gambling to Ohio have failed in the past, but this time the backers are pushing hard and are in tight with the Ohio GOP. The casino developers have already picked out a location for a future casino, and it is in the home district of a very powerful Ohio Republican. Also, IF the casino gambling referendum passes, it might be worth seeing exactly which construction company gets the job to build the casino. Will it be the friend and major campaign contributor to a powerful Republican?

Right now, the Ohio Attorney General, Marc Dann, is under a lot of pressure to resign because of scandals in his office. Of course, Kevin Dewine, the Republican slime machine, is promising to smear Dann and every Democrat in the universe. It is good to know that Kevin Dewine and the Ohio Republicans cannot solve school funding or bring jobs to Ohio, but they certainly can put in extra efforts to smear people.
