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. If approved by voters, the bond issue would cost property owners $169 for each $100,000 of the

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

Ohio History Center Shut Through 2030 After Fire-Safety Scare in Columbus

The Ohio History Center in Columbus, the state's flagship history museum and research center near the Ohio Expo Center, will stay closed through 2030 while crews rehabilitate the 56-year-old building. The closure began abruptly in September after officials found a potential problem with the building's fire-safety system, and what was first expected to be a short-term shutdown has now stretched into a years-long rebuild.

Ohioans are rightly outraged. I'm running to bring change | Opinion

Reynoldsburg councilman Stacie A. Baker is running for the Ohio Senate 3rd District . What do rural, urban and suburban Ohio have in common? Well, in the past year, I’ve met lots of people from each, as I’ve campaigned for state senate across Franklin, Pickaway and Madison counties. And I can tell you that people in different parts of Ohio are not as different as certain cynical politicians want us to believe. We have a lot in common. All of us want good schools, and all of us should be upset that, every year, the state legislature wastes over $1 billion in education funding on vouchers for private schools most of us can’t afford. Those are our tax dollars: public money I want put back into our public schools. All of us want safe neighborhoods. You want your child to be able to walk home safely, whether your house sits on a county road, a cul-de-sac, or a busy street. I want that for my own kids. My endorsement by the Fraternal Order of Police was not just an honor, but a responsibility: if elected, I will protect our families and keep our communities safe from violent offenders. More: Meet

Between Columbus And Athens Is A Scenic Stop With Ohio's Largest Natural Rock Bridge, Camping, And Trails

Halfway between Columbus and Athens is Rockbridge, an outdoor enthusiast's paradise surrounded by state parks and nature preserves. The Ohio town takes its name from a large natural arch a few miles away. At a length of 100 feet, it's Ohio's largest natural rock bridge (and the only one about the same size as a blue whale). Besides this rock bridge, the town is also a gateway to places like the Rhododendron Cove State Nature Preserve, Clear Creek Metro Park, and Hocking Hills State Park, all within a 20-minute drive.
