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. -
Statehouse Report
March 31, 2017 Big step forward for permissive county authority to levy additional $5 motor vehicle license fee Thank you to CCAO members & partners for your awesome advocacy efforts! Thanks to the General Assembly approving the Transportation Budget Conference Committee Report, counties are a BIG step closer to being able to levy an additional $5 motor vehicle license fee to fund local road and bridge infrastructure. The Conference Committee, tasked with ironing out the differences between the Ohio House and Senate, on Monday picked the House-passed provision that gave a board of county commissioners or county council the permissive authority to pass a resolution enacting the fee, though subject to voter referendum. County commissioners, county executives and county council members along with their staff and CCAO’s policy team worked with a coalition of advocates, including the County Engineers Association of Ohio (CEAO), regional planning agencies and several business organizations, to support the proposed additional $5 motor vehicle license tag fee, which hasn’t been adjusted since 1987. Thank you to CCAO’s members and our partners for your advocacy efforts that made an enormous difference! Several elected officials along with county staff provided testimony and attended statehouse hearings. Moreover, many contacted lawmakers expressing support for a board of commissioners and council members to exercise funding decisions, subject to referendum, that reflect the needs of their counties. The measure is before the Governor for his consideration and is expected to take action on the bill soon. Details on other provisions in the bill and the Governor’s action will be reported in next week’s CCAO Statehouse Report. -

April 2021 Monthly Legislative Update
Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission Monthly Legislative Update April 2021 Joseph Garrity Director of Government Affairs + Strategic Initiatives (614) 233-4127 [email protected] What’s Happening Governor Signs Transportation Budget Gov. Mike DeWine signed the more than $8 billion transportation budget bill last week. The governor highlighted $318 million included for highway safety projects, $2.4 billion for local roadway improvements and $8 million for electric vehicle charging station grants. Speaker Bob Cupp (R-Lima) called passage of the bill “a good day for the state of Ohio and people of Ohio,” adding that it was passed on time, within the available revenue, “and without a contentious conference committee.” The House action came one day after the Ohio Senate adopted an omnibus amendment to the bill and passed it on the floor in a 32-0 vote. The bill funds construction and maintenance of the state’s roadways and bridges, in addition to appropriating $70 million per year for public transit through a combination of General Revenue Fund and federal flex funds. However, Governor DeWine’s “Hands-Free Ohio” proposal to increase penalties for distracted driving was removed by the General Assembly upon final passage of the bill. This proposal may be brought forward as a standalone bill later this session. Transportation budgets generally must be passed by the end of March so the non-appropriations sections can become effective 90 days later, by July 1, the start of the new fiscal year.

Animal Law News
Vol. 1 Issue 1 Spring 2016 Published by the Ohio State Bar Association Animal Law Committee Animal Law News An elephant’s journey: How the laws and regulations affecting zoos have evolved leading to the modern zoo If we look back 60 years, which is the average lifespan of an African Elephant, we can witness the significant changes which have occurred in the approach to animal welfare at zoos. There are numerous regulations with which zoos must comply; however, more importantly, rigorous industry accreditation standards have been birthed, driving many zoos in a “race to the top” for excellence in animal care. Our country’s first approach to regulating zoos focused on the control of disease. From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the Animal Quarantine Laws1 and the Lacey Act2 empowered the president and the Department of the Interior, respectively, to regulate the importation of animals that would threaten domestic animals or humans from disease or other harmful effects.
