CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur from Ohio and one-time presidential hopeful, has been named by President-elect Donald Trump to co-run a new “Department of Government Efficiency.”
A big percentage of the political ads in the recent cycle were huge scare tactics about transgender issues. The Ohio Legislature is jumping on that bandwagon early in the lame duck session. What did it pass Wednesday? Chris Ronayne’s downtown patrols by sheriff’s deputies have produced tangible results, in seized guns and arrests, so why is the patrol a hitch in the debate about reappointing Harold Pretel as sheriff?
but it may exist outside government as an unofficial like advisory role. And you know, as proposed, they will finish their work on July 4th, 2026 on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. So Ramaswamy is kind of a little bit of a political gadfly. He first wanted to fill J.B. Vance’s open Senate seat. He’s talked about running for governor in 2026, but he has withdrawn his name now for the Senate seat.
A big percentage of the political ads in the recent cycle were huge scare tactics about transgender issues. The Ohio legislature is jumping on that bandwagon early in the lame duck session, Leila. What did it pass on Wednesday?Well, the Ohio Senate passed a bill that started as a straightforward piece of legislation on college credit for high schoolers, but now it includes a ban on transgender students using locker rooms and bathrooms that align with their gender identity.
believes there are points to be made by turning them into villains and treating them inhumanely, which is what we are doing with this legislation. And everybody who’s involved in it will be shamed 50 years from now, 30 years from now. We shouldn’t do these kinds of things. We should protect everybody. But there’s too many points to be made by making villains out of some people in our community. You’re listening to Today in Ohio.
We should treat the illness. We should make sure he doesn’t have the ability to do it again. But it seems like an awful lot of work to stick it to a guy who clearly has some issues that need to be addressed in the health side of his life.I guess at some point some people tried to paint him as a child pornographer. I don’t know what was in his files or anything, but yeah, you’re right. That’s an interesting perspective.
And a lot of those people, if you remember in that first year you got sick, did have all the comorbidities that made them much sicker. So yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if those folks had a higher risk. But most of us who have had COVID got it after having the vaccine. It hit hard. mean, it’s probably worse than the flu for many of us, but it’s not the same. And I do not believe that you and I, Leila, have double the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Those are two cultures that don’t really meld together. But again, I have no inside information. It’s just, you don’t leave after two years without some cause, let’s face it. I he left a great job at the clinic to do this. This is an exalted job and two years later, it’s over.But his interim successor comes from the same culture. So I wonder, that’s, I don’t know, kind of interesting.You’re listening to Today in Ohio.
much of it linked to share spending. So, Pretail maintains that reallocating deputies to patrol downtown is just a shift in resources. It’s not an additional expense. And he also says the patrol unit is intended to help more communities across the county, not just Cleveland. So, council approved Pretail’s reappointment, but they’ll likely revisit the funding and scope of this downtown safety patrol when budget talks continue.I hate this council’s treatment of Cleveland.
