Democratic members of the Ohio Redistricting Commission said the Republican attorney general prevented them from their own counsel in the latest round of filings.
Attorney General Dave Yost speaks at a news conference Thursday to release the recommendations of a task force studying Ohio's facial-recognition program. CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Ohio House Minority Leader Allison Russo, an Upper Arlington Democrat, said Friday that Republican Attorney General Dave Yost is trying to “muzzle” Democrats on the Ohio Redistricting Commission by denying them access to their own independent attorneys.
Yost abruptly denied Russo and Akron state Sen. Vernon Sykes, the two Democrats on the commission, separate attorneys, which they’d had during the entirety of the case. As, Yost said since the court ordered the redistricting commission to redraw the map as a single entity, they would be represented as one unit despite wildly split goals and opinions on the legislative redistricting process.
