Locksmith Newark Ohio publishes hiring checklist for Licking County residents, noting Ohio has no statewide locksmith license and pointing to Ohio Attorney General guidance on bait-and-switch scams

""Ohio does not license locksmiths, so there is no state card to ask for when someone shows up at your door. That puts the burden on the questions you ask before the work starts. Get the business name, get the price in writing, and check for complaints with the Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau. Those steps take a few minutes, and they are the best protection a Newark resident has while standing outside a locked house or car," said a spokesperson for Locksmith Newark Ohio."Locksmith Newark Ohio has published a checklist to help Newark and Licking County residents vet a locksmith, since Ohio has no statewide locksmith license, drawing on Ohio Attorney General and Better Business Bureau guidance on bait pricing.

FBI agent who investigated Ohio's biggest public corruption cases dies

Retired FBI Special Agent Jeff Williams, who led significant investigations into corrupt public officeholders in Ohio, died Nov. 5 after a long fight with colorectal cancer. He was 57. In 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation brought Williams back to his hometown of Columbus to establish and lead a public corruption squad that would focus on state and local governments. His team made cases against a deputy state treasurer who fled to Pakistan , a Cincinnati city councilman who later received a presidential pardon , two sitting members of the Ohio House and others. The public knew little of Williams’ work because special agents avoid the limelight and work in near anonymity. Williams' biggest – and last – case of his 23-year career was a $61 million scheme to return Republican Larry Householder to power in the Ohio House and pass a $1.3 billion bailout bill to benefit Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. It was the largest public corruption case in state history. Householder was the last person Williams put his handcuffs on, when the speaker was arrested in July 2020 on his Perry County farm . Householder is now serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison. The case interrupted what would
