CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Ohio Supreme Court singled out Cuyahoga, Summit and Hamilton counties in their redistricting decision, ruling that Republicans overstepped to result in fewer potentially Democratic congressional seats.
We’re talking about striking down Ohio’s new congressional districts as an unconstitutional gerrymander on Today in Ohio.

Here are the questions we’re answering today:
The Ohio Supreme Court used even more plain language in its decision Friday striking down the Ohio Congressional districts created by House Speaker Bob Cupp and Senate President Matt Huffman, blasting them for being based on pure partisanship despite the wishes of voters to stop that practice. But Cuyahoga and Summit counties played a big role in this decision. How so?
Warrensville Heights Mayor Brad Sellers didn’t last in the Cuyahoga County Executives race for two weeks before he dropped out on Saturday. That was a day after we reported he signed a a notarized document with a claim on it that is refuted by public records. What’s the story?
Mike DeWine has some thoughts about how the Ohio school system can get beyond the debate about critical race theory, a principle that is not taught in public schools but which was used to spread fear among parents before the election. What does DeWine think we should do, and what do some education experts have to say about that?
Let’s talk some more about gerrymandering, but with Ohio’s legislative districts rather than Congress this time. How might the Ohio Supreme Court ruling that threw out the gerrymandered maps created by Mike DeWine and other leaders lead to an end of super-majorities in the Statehouse?
The U.S. Justice Department got a lot more serious last week about an Ohio bartender who was involved in the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington, DC. What is she charged with now, and what does it mean investigators believe she did?
How does a new audit show FirstEnergy bilked ratepayers in a ploy that has nothing to do with House Bill 6 but was supposed to improve the electric utility’s infrastructure?
How did Ohio Medicaid officials make mistakes that cost $118 million in tax dollars?
Ohioans keep subsidizing an Indiana coal plant because of the part of the corrupt House Bill 6 that was not repealed, but could Ohioans get a reprieve because of problems at that plant?
