“It’s a place where you go to die.”
That’s how many former officers describe the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, a CoreCivic private prison in Youngstown, telling me NEOCC has little to no control over drugs & violence.

Some interesting comments on the gas tax holiday in a panel of state lawmakers at the Ohio Chamber of Commerce event.
Republican Sen. Brian Chavez doubts it worked as intended.
"I don't have confidence that the gas stations honored the tax relief. It's really hard to police."

I just asked Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine about possible Republican efforts to take away or lessen the powers of the governor prior to Gov-elect Dr. Amy Acton taking office in January. I asked if he would veto.
“No governor would sign.”

SCOOP: Text messages attacking Mahoning Co. Commissioner candidate Christine Oliver in October had no 'paid for' disclaimer, and no one would claim responsibility for them. Police have now linked the texts to Oliver's campaign consultant, David Spencer.

Bad when Republicans do it. Bad when Democrats do it. Cowardly and undemocratic across the board.

Data center moratoriums going 41-0 is wild
So the 41 datacenter moratoria across the country are, I predict, going to go 41-0. In nearly every case it's about 67-80% opposing datacenters. True in California, Ohio, everywhere. Read all the results here:

.@VivekGRamaswamy says he called @amyactonoh and left a voicemail conceding the election. “It was a tough race. It was bitter at times in both directions.”

Incumbent Sen. Jon Husted concedes. He is visibly crying/choked up.
“Look, sometimes, there are a course of events you can’t control.”

Most folks have cleared out of the Ohio GOP election night party, its most staffers for downballot candidates, who are also conceding one by one.
Lots of crying and hugging.
I overheard two guys talking about gas prices as they bought another beer.

Looks like all the local charter amendments to ban data centers in Ohio will pass. #Elections2026
Voter ID requirements will be added to the Ohio constitution, NBC projects. Ohio already has voter ID laws, but this will make them tougher to repeal or change going forward

Final unofficial results from Mahoning County (Obama+28/Clinton+3/Trump+2/Trump+9).
Mahoning County is largely seen as a modern-day Ohio bellwether. The only statewide Republican to win it was Frank LaRose in the Auditor's race.

Jon Husted had this to say about the polls: “The only poll that matters is the one that's being taken today for by the voters of this state and people across the country.”
