School districts heading to the ballot

Good morning! Election Day is almost here, and I think I can speak for every Ohioan when I say that I can't wait to stop getting so many texts begging me to vote. I promise, I have a voting plan! While high-profile state and national races may be taking the spotlight ahead of the Nov. 3 election, there are a number of central Ohio school districts seeking voter-backed taxes and bonds. What school levies and bond issues might be on your ballot this week? Let's review. Review Session Four districts – Bexley City, Upper Arlington City, South Western City and Southwest Local Schools – are seeking bonds to fund new construction of buildings in their communities . Two other districts, Pickerington Local and Jefferson Local Schools, are seeking tax levies for school funding and permanent improvements. The most contentious of these school issues could be in Upper Arlington , which is seeking combined $273.5 million bond issue to fund two new middle schools and and an early learning center and renovate and expand another school alongside a 4.9 mill permanent property tax levy.

Ohio History Center closing extended for final rehabilitation phase

The Ohio History Center – which unexpectedly closed in September for what officials said were needed building repairs to its fire safety system with a planned reopening in early December – has announced it will now be closed through 2030 as the museum undergoes its final phase of ongoing renovations. The renovation is part of the center's nonprofit operator Ohio History Connection's Campus 2.OH initiative, which will "transform the facility's museum to welcome visitors for the next 50 years," according to a media release from the Ohio History Connection. While the museum undergoes renovations, it will remain closed to the public through 2030. However, essential services, including appointment-only access to archival records, will continue without interruption, according to the release. Programming at Ohio Village and the Ohio History Connection's more than 50 sites statewide will also continue as scheduled. “The Ohio History Center has been the anchor of the Ohio History Connection since it opened in 1970 and started serving as our headquarters,” Megan Wood, executive director and CEO of the Ohio History Connection, said in the release. “It’s an important landmark and touchstone for Ohio history, and we need to undertake this rehabilitation to keep it relevant, safe and

JD Vance makes final midterm pitch to Ohio as GOP, Democrats rally voters

Vice President JD Vance traveled to Ohio on Nov. 2 as Republicans and Democrats rallied their supporters ahead of a hotly contested election being watched by the nation. Vance headlined a rally near Toledo with Donald Trump Jr. , Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Sen. Jon Husted in a final push to bolster support for GOP candidates. The visit marked the sixth time either Vance or President Donald Trump campaigned in Ohio within the past six weeks. "You can vote for the crazies, or you can vote for a guy like Derek Merrin," Vance said, referring to the Republican candidate in Ohio's 9th Congressional District. The crowd then chanted Vance's and Merrin's names. "You make an Ohio boy proud, but don't chant my name or his name. Get out and vote." On Election Day, Ohio voters will decide a nasty race for governor between Ramaswamy and Democrat Amy Acton and the race for Vance's old U.S. Senate seat between Husted and former Sen. Sherrod Brown. The Buckeye State is also home to several battleground U.S. House seats that could shape control of Congress. Polls show Ohio's marquee races are close, even though Republicans have almost complete control of state
