For the first time since 2001, every single Democrat in the Ohio General Assembly voted against the majority party's budget. To Senator Kent Smith, it's the worst collection of state public education policies he's ever seen. He explains why in this week's #ICYMI.

Yet another insult to the people of Ohio

I will continue to fight for substantive targeted and state funded property tax relief that helps Ohioans who need it most and that’s not on the backs of our police, firefighers, schools, libraries, and other essential local services that we rely upon. Stay engaged everyone!

#Ohio -- Did your state rep vote to override the governor's budget veto yesterday? Here's the full list: open.substack.com/pub/rachelcoyl…

I didn’t run for office to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. Ohio’s sinking—public schools gutted, billionaires bailed out, democracy under attack. The far right has a roadmap. We need a damn compass. It’s time to fight like it matters. tristanrader.substack.com/p/the-status-q…

Only one update… the Governor vetoed kicking infants off the Medicaid. All the rest described in this article stands… cincinnati.com/story/opinion/…

This budget is not fiscally responsible. It is cruelty towards Ohioans, unless you happen to be a millionaire or billionaire. cincinnati.com/story/opinion/…

If Gary @ClickForOhio actually cared about protecting kids, Trump's name in the Epstein files would be a dealbreaker. rachelcoylehtw.substack.com/p/trump-suppor…

Need this for every republican politician in ohio

Seriously tho this is a genuinely disturbing tweet. And not just because he refuses to condemn pedophilia Senator Brenner, the person with the most power over education policy in #Ohio, just admitted he doesn't understand basic U.S. History concepts like party realignment

Rachel Coyle .Senator Rob McColley Come get your boy, sir, and strip him of his chairmanship. .Andrew Brenner is unfit and unqualified to chair the Education Committee. His ignorance of US history may be his bliss but he should not be making decisions on behalf of Ohio’s public school students.

This excellent encapsulation of Brenner’s greatest hits goes a long way toward explaining Ohio’s abysmal education policy. Next time I see you I’ll tell you the story about the time he called me at home to yell at me for correctly critiquing a bill he’d proposed.

........This is the chair of the #Ohio Senate #Education Committee. He passes the laws that shape your children's education

New -- #Ohio is ranked 37th in public education quality wallethub.com/edu/e/states-w…

Ohioans can expect their electric bills to keep going up. Last year's auction to ensure the grid operator serving Ohio could meet demand saw capacity prices shoot up more than 830%. In the most recent auction, prices rose even higher. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/29/get…

Ohio electric bills likely to keep going up after latest PJM auction mahoningmatters.com/news/state/art…

RSVP today! You don’t want to miss this! Did you know there’s an effort underway to radically change our US Constitution? That’s exactly what an Article V Convention would allow and exactly what wealthy special interest groups want - the power to rewrite our Constitution.

For the average Columbus household, electric bills were $52 higher this July than during the same month a decade ago. In Cincinnati, they're up $49 in the same time frame. Some hard data on rising electric costs, and why data centers are largely to blame signalohio.org/rising-electri…

Zuckerman is one of the best to do it. And this will only get worse due to climate change and monopolies like AEP haven’t maintained their grid thanks to their ownership of the Statehouse. You can look to Texas for what that looks like.
