Just found this amazing news clipping from 1920: the original Ohio Senate chamber ceiling was made of glass, but apparently nobody noticed for decades because it was never cleaned #LateNightHistory Image

Apparently people in 1893 really, really hated the look of the Statehouse Image
This 1918 headline from Zanesville is cracking me up Image
Sandusky Register, 1850:

"to judge of the proceedings by the reports in the Columbus papers we think a stranger would be slow to suspect that the unruly body assembled in the upper room of the state-house was the senate of Ohio." Image

This is the kind of reaction re: @GovMikeDeWine's signing of permitless carry bill that will be interesting to watch for this week

Signs a controversial bill on an issue he's wavered on, but doesn't even get namedropped to receive any credit for it.
@GovMikeDeWine The current top comments on the @BuckeyeFirearms Association's Facebook post about DeWine signing the bill:

BREAKING: @GovMikeDeWine has signed the permitless concealed carry bill into law.

Ohioans will no longer need permits, training or background checks to carry a concealed weapon.
DeWine was pressured to "do something" to curb gun violence after a Dayton shooting killed 9 people shortly into his first term

He proposed gun reforms, but the GOP legislature rejected it. DeWine has signed "permitless carry" and "Stand Your Ground" legislation into law instead

Happy Presidents Day! I'll be sharing some news clippings today about the presidents from Ohio

Starting off with this item from 1871 dunking on Ulysses S. Grant
The Cleveland Plain Dealer referred to "President" Rutherford B. Hayes in quotes during his administration because it believed he lost the controversial 1876 election
Before entering politics, James A. Garfield used to give public lectures on geology

Good question. I did some research, and the answer is: Taxes!

Taxes paid for the magnificent, historic Henry Co. Courthouse that has stood since the 1880s.
This new courthouse was necessary because the old one burned down in 1879. Construction began in 1880 with an estimated cost of around $100,000.

A local "building fund" was levied on Henry Co. residents to pay for it.
Construction dragged on, and there was some kerfuffle in 1881 when it became apparent extra money would be needed to pay the heating apparatus, furniture, outdoor sidewalks...

That's when the state representative for Henry County offered his help Image

THREAD: During the lead-up to January 6th & the chaos of that day, I documented what was said by Ohio elected officials + party leaders

It's instructive to look back at what they were saying/doing at the time:
I want to start by noting how many election falsehoods were spread by Ohio GOP politicians/party leaders in the lead up to Jan. 6.

Lawmakers insisted the 2020 election result was fraudulent.
I have too many examples of election falsehoods from lawmakers to include here.

Then you had dozens of lawmakers urged AG Yost to join the Texas lawsuit contesting the election results in 4 states
