“Unfortunately, a poison pill was added to [the bill] which allows every politician in Ohio to receive a 25 percent pay increase and does nothing to help Ohioans whose wages have been stagnant for years,” he said.

For workers making tips, it's up to $4.75.
We also have rec legal cannabis, and reasonably strong gun control.
Our world hasn't ended. It isn't expected to end. There isn't any social outrage from the business community.
We do have an affordable housing shortage, and rents are sky high, so it isn't utopia. Oh, and we have a LOT of koch trained astroturf being laid out in communities across the commonwealth.
But it ain't Ohio either.......
