Ugh. The Ohio House voted 58-30 to limit DeWine's authority to impose a new lockdown. This is bad news because it's just short of what was needed to override DeWine's inevitable veto.
This means that we might well have another lockdown.

So, Gov. @MikeDeWine, are you really going to shut down (and inevitably kill many) state businesses over the will of an overwhelming majority of the people and their reps?
Doesn't that constitute tyranny, especially when you aren't even negotiating with legislators?
Bully.

Someone kindly pointed out to me my mistake. I thought 98 votes were accounted for. No. 88 votes were accounted for, meaning 11 people didn't vote. D'oh!
58/88 = 65.9%
That's well over the 3/5 majority needed to be veto-proof. Looks like we win after all!

But not quite yet. The vote to override hasn't come in yet. It's possible it won't work out.
