Rep. Jay Edwards (R-Nelsonville) in a lengthy Facebook post on Wednesday attacked Ohio Senate President Larry Obhof (R-Medina), who adjourned the chamber Tuesday night without holding a vote to override Gov. Mike DeWineâs Dec. 3 veto of a bill that would have severely limited the executiveâs powers to implement certain public health orders.
âI think itâs fair to show this man single handily (sic) kept this bill from being overrode, made excuses, blamed others, and lied,â Edwards said. âThe truth is, he did not want to upset the Governor in hopes the Governor helps him get hired or appointed to his next gig ⦠President Obhof, quit telling LIES about us and maybe weâll quit telling the TRUTH about you.â

Six fix? Senate President Larry Obhof told reporters Friday evening that he’s still negotiating with House GOP leaders about what to do about House Bill 6, the nuclear bailout law at the center of a massive bribery scandal. Obhof, a Medina Republican, said a number of measures are under consideration, from delaying the bailout for a year to repealing other parts of the bill that critics say benefit FirstEnergy Corp. “I don’t think there’s anything that’s off the table,” he said, adding that while “it’s a challenging vote count,” he hopes to reach a deal this week as the lame duck continues.
