The weight of the pen Governor DeWine weighs options of whether to veto or sign into law several bills passed by the legislature.
BEXLEY, Ohio — The holidays are a busy time of year for all of us and that's most especially true of the governor. The final weeks of the year mark the end of his first term, the preparations for the start of his next but before that consideration of the measures passed by the legislature in the final days of the session.
"You know I have a long history of fighting for kids and particularly in fighting for kids to not becoming addicted to tobacco. What these big tobacco companies have figured out is the way we get kids started is through flavors," DeWine said.
"We’re still looking at a lot of different provisions, we’re consulting with some local officials, Democrats and Republicans trying to get their take on what impact that this might have on voting. I start though with an understanding or a belief I think based on evidence that Ohio does it very well," DeWine said.
"A number of years ago the state legislature passed a law which is still on the books which provides for drilling in our state parks and anyplace else the state owns. What this bill apparently does is compel that drilling or compel any administration to move forward on that. So we're still looking at it, and I'll have more to say about that next week."
