  • Election 2016: Recap from a Historic Night
    November 14, 2016 Election 2016: Recap from a Historic Night As we digest the 2016 election, it was again clear that the old adage “to win the presidency you must win Ohio” held true. Donald Trump will become the 45th President of the United States following one of the wildest election nights our nation has ever seen. Here in Ohio, Mr. Trump held on to a 52.6-43.0 percent victory. This is the largest victory margin in an Ohio presidential election since 1988 when George H.W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis by 10.9 percent. Rob Portman wins second term in U.S. Senate; all incumbents win U.S. Congressional races In Ohio’s Senate race, Sen. Rob Portman routed former Gov. Ted Strickland in what was a crucial battleground state. While national Democrats initially had high hopes that they would be able to oust Portman with a high profile challenger such as Strickland, they quickly faced insurmountable fundraising deficits and outside spending on behalf of Portman’s campaign. Portman ultimately came out on top 58.3-36.9 percent. There were no surprises in any of the 16 Ohio Congressional districts, as all of the incumbent members won by comfortable margins. In Washington, our state is now represented by one Republican and one Democrat Senator and 12 Republican members and four Democrat House members. DeWine wins open seat for Ohio Supreme Court; Fischer ahead; O’Connor unopposed It was the race between Ohio Appellate Judge Pat Fischer and Cuyahoga Common Pleas Judge John O’Donnell that got the most attention down the stretch.

  • December 12, 2016 131ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY ENDS LAME DUCK
    December 12, 2016 131ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY ENDS LAME DUCK SESSION WITH SEVERAL MUNICIPAL ISSUES ADDRESSED The lame duck session ended Friday morning at about 3:30 am and as the dust settled, we’re proud to report that Ohio municipalities were able to claim a number of victories, a few draws, and only a limited number of losses. Now, we immediately turn our agenda to the next General Assembly, with the release of our first broad based policy report tomorrow. We would like to express our gratitude toward the many members of the General Assembly who worked with us on these many issues. Many members worked with us late into the night many times and worked hard to consider our concerns. Below, we review the legislation that effected municipalities in the final days of the session. Each of the following bills has been sent to Governor Kasich for his consideration. First, is Senate Bill 331, introduced by Senator Bob Peterson (R-Washington Court House). The original bill would regulate the sale of dogs from pet stores and dog retailers and to require the Director of Agriculture to license pet stores. This bill was introduced to create a statewide regulatory framework for pet breeding. The OML opposed this portion of the bill as an infringement on Home Rule and “single issue rule” problems which is the part of the Ohio Constitution that prohibits the legislature from passing bills with multiple subjects. This bill became a “Christmas tree bill” where numerous amendments were added, including language from AT&T on the 5G roll out Amendment 1: As mentioned above and as many of our members are aware, the House Finance committee amended the bill to create new regulations concerning micro wireless facility operators for their use of municipally owned land.

  • 132Nd General Assembly of Ohio Getting to Know Your New Legislators
    132nd General Assembly of Ohio Getting to Know Your New Legislators 1st House District of Ohio, Wayne County Representative Scott Wiggam Quick Bio: Age: 45 Party: Republican Occupation: Commissioner Education: Asbury College, B.A.; University of Akron, M.A. Path to General Assembly: Defeated David Kiefer in the Primary to run unopposed and replace term-limited Ron Amstutz Personal: Married, three children Prior to his tenure as commissioner, Scott owned and operated a restaurant, managing full time, day-to-day operations with over 20 employees. He received a Bachelor's degree from Asbury College and a Master's degree in Political Science from the University of Akron. Scott served as a lead legislative associate to the U.S. House of Representatives for the Christian Coalition of America, Inc. He also served a four year, active duty tour in the United States Air Force and was honored with an Air Force Commendation Medal for meritorious service. Since becoming commissioner, Scott has implemented conservative fiscal management policies that have helped to avert the need for tax increases. When sales taxes were last increased in 1993, local government spending grew an average of over 7% each year until 2005, despite average family incomes growing by only 3%. Since taking office in 2005, he has worked toward reducing expenditures by more than 7% in order to balance the budget. Ten years later the county's general fund budget spending is less than when Scott first took office in 2005. Scott believes that keeping money in the pockets of the people is better for economic growth than higher taxes and rapid government growth.

  • Election Night Recap November 7, 2012 Ohio Was Again at the Center
    BRICKER & ECKLER LLP Election Night Recap November 7, 2012 COLUMBUS I CLEVELAND CINCINNATI-DAYTON Ohio was again at the center of national politics this year in one of the BRICKER&ECKLERLLP closest and most costly presidential races in recent history. President Barack Obama won Ohio and clinched a second term. In addition, the U.S. Senate remained in Democratic hands, in part because of incumbent Sherrod Brown’s victory in the Buckeye State. The GOP protected its majority in the www.bricker.com U.S. House of Representatives. Finally, the Ohio Statehouse looks [email protected] substantially the same as Republicans maintained control of both the House and Senate. This is a brief recap of the major state and national races that will shape the future of Ohio for many years to come. Perhaps most importantly, the state and congressional lines will remain the same after the defeat of Issue 2, a plan to modify the apportionment process supported primarily by left- leaning groups that failed by a 2-1 margin. Below is a brief description of some highly contentious and closely watched races around Ohio. Please note that all reported results are unofficial and subject to change based on outstanding provisional and yet to be returned absentee ballots, as well as the final results from the Ohio Secretary of State. President No state was more closely watched or more frequently visited by candidates than Ohio this cycle. Both presidential contenders knew that no candidate has won the presidency without Ohio since Kennedy in 1960 and no Republican has ever won without the Buckeye State.

  • PUBLIC LAW ALERT Post-General Election Outlook
    PUBLIC LAW ALERT 11/9/16 Post-General Election Outlook Yesterday was an eventful 2016 General Election Day with federal and state races spanning the President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Ohio Supreme Court, and Ohio General Assembly. Below are the outcomes of the races. Presidential Donald J. Trump (R) defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) to become the 45th President of the United States of America, ending a long campaign season. The Republicans also kept majorities in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. The election of a Republican President, together with a Republican-controlled Congress, will change Washington’s priorities. We expect that President-Elect Trump will begin identifying his policy agenda in the coming days and weeks, as well as name a Transition Committee and begin clarifying priorities well in advance of his Inauguration on January 20, 2017. At this time, we anticipate President-Elect Trump will work with the Republican controlled Congress to implement changes in some or all of the following areas: Taxes: Reducing all individual and corporate taxes and closing special interest tax loopholes. Infrastructure: Upgrading America’s infrastructure system by leveraging revenue, utilizing different financing opportunities (such as public-private partnerships), and incorporating new technologies and innovations into our infrastructure system. Energy: Making America energy-independent by removing regulatory barriers to energy production; eliminating the moratorium on coal leasing; and tapping into America’s shale, oil, and natural gas reserves. Trade: Working toward free trade and reducing the American trade deficit by withdrawing from and/or modifying trade agreements, including withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and re- negotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
