TOLEDO An appointee to the Ohio Arts Council resigned Friday after making a vulgar comment on social media about Vice President-elect Kamala Harris that also supported President Donald Trump’s false claims that he won the presidential election.
Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said he accepted Susan Allan Block’s resignation a day after his office issued a statement saying her comments were highly offensive.
Block, of Toledo, posted the all-caps comments Wednesday after a pro-Trump mob overran the U.S. Capitol.
She was first appointed to the state agency in 2016 and was reappointed by DeWine in 2019. The council oversees funding for the arts.

Block, of Toledo, was first appointed to the unpaid council, which allocates state and federal money to Ohio artists and arts organizations, in 2016 by then-Gov. John Kasich. She was reappointed by DeWine in July 2019 for a term that expires in 2024. DeWine, a Republican, supported Trump s re-election.
