De Wine sworn in as Ohio governor

shortly after midnight last night at his home in Cedarville, with a public ceremony at noon today at the Statehouse.

He put his hand atop a stack of TEN bibles.

I guess we know what that means for us Ohioans for the next four years. I suppose the heartbeat bill will make another appearance.

Of course Cordray .... Joe Schiavoni, from my area..... Connie Pillich ... Betty Sutton... ( who became Cordrays running mate) ....

De Wine has been in state politics since the Stone Age .... in fact he’s the oldest elected governor ever in Ohio at age 72 ... probably had name recognition if nothing else ...I was just so disappointed in our state this time around. It’s depressing living in a totally red state. Thank God for Sherrod Brown.
