Gov. Mike DeWine’s decision to sign the so-called Stand Your Ground gun bill into law isn’t sitting well with some city and state leaders who thought they were making headway in their fight against gun violence.

Gov. Mike DeWine on Monday signed a "Stand Your Ground" bill into law, backing off his threat to veto after Ohio lawmakers declined to pass gun control proposals.

State lawmakers have sent to Gov. Mike DeWine a bill that prohibits doctors from using telemedicine to prescribe abortion medication.

The Ohio Senate has given final approval to a controversial ‘Stand your ground” bill that would do away with the “duty to retreat” before using a gun in in self-defense.

As state lawmakers return for a final week of their lame duck session, Gov. Mike DeWine is hinting he’ll veto a controversial gun bill they sent to him last week.

Although Rep. Jon Cross believes he might have the virus, he says he would still go to Columbus to vote on legislation if necessary.

The Ohio House and Ohio Senate wrapped up long voting sessions with the House even going into the early morning hours on Friday.

A state representative from Columbus who hasn’t been to the Statehouse in more than a year and a half is suing her fellow House Democrats as well as the current and former minority leaders.

Two representatives in the Ohio House are in the hospital right now, battling COVID-19. They are the latest to acknowledge they have contracted the virus.
