The redistricting freight train, and a few words about rejuvenated COVID: Ted Diadiun
CLEVELAND -- If you are a betting person, here’s a sure thing for you:. When the amendment to overhaul Ohio’s redistricting process is placed on the ballot this November, it will pass by a landslide.

Fight back against disinformation and political polarization by putting principles first: George Zadigian
ALLIANCE, Ohio -- Given the exponential growth in political disinformation and polarized opinions coming from news channels and candidates, making political choices can sometimes feel so onerous that many of us would like to either sit this one out or just retreat into our traditional political affiliation. I submit that if we want our choices to reflect who we are, and what we want our nation to be, both in our lifetime and for future generations, it’s essential that we step back from all this rancor and reflect on what are the principles we hold most dear. Instead of trying to make choices based on who might help us financially in the short term, or who “we like” or “don’t like,” I submit we’ll be much better served by measuring candidates by their dedication to policies consistent with the principles we hold most dear.

Better decorum, toned-down rhetoric needed in our lower legislative chambers: Bob Paulson
