COLUMBUS, Ohio — Former state appeals court judge Dennis Deters has been appointed to a full term on the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, fellow Republican Gov. Mike DeWine announced Friday.
Deters, who was first appointed to the PUCO by DeWine in 2019, was recommended for a full five-year term by a nominating committee last month.
A Hamilton County attorney, Deters was appointed by then-Gov. John Kasich to the state First District Court of Appeals in 2017, but he lost re-election the following year. He’s the brother of Hamilton County Prosecutor and ex-state Treasurer Joe Deters.

Rotunda Rumblings
New day for an old proposal: An effort to end the death penalty in Ohio now has support from a group of both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, who believe they have the votes to make it happen, Jeremy Pelzer reports. But Republican House and Senate leaders would have to let such a bill get to the floor, and that could prove a challenge, given that Senate President Matt Huffman and House Speaker Bob Cupp are both death penalty supporters. But both said they are open to a legislative discussion of the issue.
