- $1 billion to a conman's fake internet school
- The largest bribery scheme in state history
- $600 million for "onshoring" a yet-to-exist chip plant
- $1.9 billion stolen from citizens to subsidize sports arenas

It ain't Somalis scamming everyday Ohioans
Ohioans only need to look up the socioeconomic ladder to see the brazen public corruption happening before our eyes. Not that they'll ever hear that message from unemployed right-wing grifters.

The legislature’s proposal to slash Ohio's amazing system of public libraries is unconscionable, and will harm children, families and communities across the state. As Governor, I will fight against efforts to take away our right to enjoy them and the vital services they provide.
The Ohio House is trying to eliminate a dedicated library funding mechanism from the state budget.

It would cost Ohio libraries $100 million over the next two years and force the Ohio Library Council to lobby for funding each budget cycle.
