Prior to another recent Thanksgiving in OH-02, the big news in the district was that my neighbor Terry’s two full-grown African lions escaped and were found "molesting" cars on the highway. This year competes for drama. On Tuesday, November 17, the Ohio division of the Tri-State Building [...]
The erosion among independents, however, isn’t simply a regional problem. Democrats are anxious about the prospects of five-term Sen.

Here it is, the first of the BSB “We Have Issues” series. Issue 1 was fairly hard to write up, as it really doesn’t seem to be a hotly contested issue.
As for format, I tried to stay neutral. Below you’ll find the ballot language, some notable supporters and opponents, [...]
