Ohio lawsuit filed to restore $300 per week in federal pandemic unemployment benefits
Two attorneys from Cleveland are taking Ohio to court in the hope of restoring federal dollars to the unemployment system.
Ohioans were receiving an extra $300 per week on top of their state benefits, but that stopped on June 26.
It wasn't because the federal government ended the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. Those checks are scheduled to go out through Labor Day. Gov. Mike DeWine – along with several other Republican governors – said they didn't want the money anymore.

Gee you’d think Ohio’s Rethugs would love to take that money and use it for tax breaks for their rich donors.

and a Trump-appointed judge agreed with him, so the wealthy in Ohio will get an even bigger tax break than the budget already gave them.
However ... apparently the fine folk in the hospitality industry felt that their workers were avoiding work because of the $300. So Mikey decided to make the $300 go away early.
Those poor are so dang lazy ... unlike those hard-working wealthy Ohioans who need to keep all the money they earn rather than pay any taxes.
