Get a first look at Ohio's new license plate! Gov. Mike DeWine, his wife Fran, and BMV Registrar Charles Norman unveiled it today. The "Sunrise in Ohio" plate will replace the current "Ohio Pride" plate starting Dec. 29.

This is probably Ohio's congressional map for the next four years. Sposor Sen. Rob McColley, R-Napoleon, said Senate President Matt Huffman, R-Lima, and House Speaker Bob Cupp, R-Lima, "conceptually" agreed on it Friday. Democrats say they first saw it through media Monday night.

Ohio Redistricting Commission meets again to revise state House and Senate district maps - then immediately recesses. Unlike last fall, there are indications of bipartisanship. Here's the proposal for Hamilton and Warren counties: redistricting.ohio.gov/assets/organiz…

The Ohio Redistricting Commission just adjourned without approving any new state House and Senate maps. Commissioners declared themselves at an impasse, throwing the question back to the Ohio Supreme Court.
