. Our editorial board has frequently disagreed with DeWine, but his wise stewardship of the state’s economy, his exceptionally strong record in economic development and his responsible leadership of Ohio during the COVID-19 pandemic merit his re-election.
DeWine’s administration, with the help of the quasi-private JobsOhio, also has scored huge successes in economic development. It landed the multibillion-dollar Intel Corp. chip plant investments for the Columbus area; a huge Honda expansion in west-central Ohio; and a $1.5 billion investment by Ford Motor Co. in Avon Lake, to name a few. DeWine told our editorial board he also played a personal role in ensuring state incentives to help keep Sherwin-Williams Co.’s headquarters in Cleveland.
Whaley hammers on Ohio’s need to do more to keep and attract young professionals and highly trained workers, arguing the state under DeWine has continued “to fall further and further behind when we compare ourselves to other states.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court, in the Dobbs decision, overturned Roe and gave states the right to limit abortion as they wish. A judge quickly allowed Ohio’s so-called heartbeat law, which DeWine signed three months into his governorship, to take effect, banning abortions after about six weeks, with no exceptions for rape or incest.
More abortion restrictions are likely coming. In its post-election “lame duck” session, the Ohio legislature is expected to propose even tighter abortion limits. DeWine sidestepped when asked if he’d sign a bill banning abortion altogether in Ohio.
