Abrams faced Democrat Jonathan Bradner, a pastor with a master’s degree in ethics and justice, as well as a pet snake, according to his campaign website . Abrams' race is one of four Ohio House races headed for a recount, though Democrats have already broken a veto-proof majority in the House by flipping eight seats. Who is Cindy Abrams? Abrams represents Ohio's 29th District which includes parts of Harrison, Mount Healthy and North College Hill. She was appointed to the seat in 2019 and has never had a race this tight.

Editorial: Resist restrictions on Gov.-elect Acton

Gov. Mike DeWine’s advice for the lame-duck legislative sessions, set before Governor-elect Acton takes office Jan. 11, is solid and should be followed. As Blade Columbus Bureau Chief Danny Eldredge reported in a front page Friday story, Mr. DeWine is warning Republican lawmakers not to tamper with gubernatorial powers in an effort to curtail Dr. Acton’s executive authority. “I’ve spent the last eight years trying to get companies to come into Ohio, and stability and some predictability is something that is very, very valuable,” he said. Read more Blade editorials While Republicans currently have the power to override a veto from Mr. DeWine, if it comes to that, GOP lawmakers would be foolish to use that power to impede the first woman elected governor in Ohio history while damaging the state’s economic development narrative. There are bills Republicans have introduced that would limit state agency rule-making and impose spending limits without legislative approval. There’s no need for either of these bills because the Joint Committee on Agency Rule, a House and Senate oversight body, already requires legislative approval of executive agency rules to implement laws passed by the General Assembly. On spending issues, the legislature has the long established Ohio

New Ohio public assistance verification program arrives in Portage

The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services is using a new system to verify income and employment for those applying for public assistance. When Portage County residents apply for programs such as Medicaid, SNAP (food assistance), Ohio Works First,or certain child support services, Portage County JFS must verify employment and income information to determineeligibility. Until June 30, county agencies across Ohio used The Work Number, an Equifax employment verification service, to access payroll information from participating employers. Ohio's contract with that service has expired, and counties now use the Ohio NextGen360 Verification Platform to verify employment and income information. Although The Work Number remains an active service, county agencies no longer have access to it for public assistance eligibility determinations. As a result, some employers may receive requests directly from Portage County Job & Family Services to verify employee income. The Ohio NextGen360 Verification Platform allows income verification through: Employee-Authorized Payroll Access: Applicants may securely connect their payroll account to the verification platform, allowing authorized income information to be shared electronically. Experian Payroll Verification If an employer reports payroll information through Experian, income information may be available through that source. Direct Employer Verification: When electronic verification is unavailable, Portage
