Ahead of Wednesday’s State of the State address, Ohio’s Democratic leaders argued much of what’s going right in Ohio comes thanks to the Biden administration.

The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.

Highlighting the cost of child care and property taxes, House Minority Leader Allison Russo argued, “The economic picture does not look so rosy on the ground, but I suspect that’s what we’ll hear from the governor.” DeWine also put substantial emphasis on education. He called for a statewide “science of reading” push, aimed at updating curriculum to emphasize approaches like phonics. He also proposed a dramatic increase in private school voucher scholarships. Instead of setting eligibility threshold at 250% of the federal poverty line, DeWine proposed 400%. He also proposed a $5,000 annual scholarship for top performing Ohio high schoolers who choose to go to Ohio universities.

“You know who else is on the move? Young people,” Antonio said. “They’re on the move out of the state of Ohio, sadly.” “These young children are our most precious Ohio commodity, if you will,” she said. “It boggles my mind that we would want to do anything less than the absolute best.”
