    RESOLUTION NO.: 50-2007 OFFERED BY: Mayor Ursu and All of Council A RESOLUTION OPPOSING OHIO SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL 117 AND SUPPORTING THE LOCAL CABLE FRANCHISING PROCESS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY WHEREAS, Substitute Senate Bill (“Sub. SB”) 117 was passed in the Ohio Senate on May 9, 2007 and the bill was immediately forwarded to the Ohio House of Representatives where it is being reviewed by the House Public Utilities Committee in which Sponsor’s introduction and proponents' hearing is expected to commence on May 23, 2007 with opponents' hearing to follow; and WHEREAS, in its present form, Sub.

  • The Republican Sweep: Report on the 2010 Election Results in Ohio
    Mapping the Republican Sweep: The 2010 Election Results in Ohio This report maps the results of the 2010 election for state-wide offices in Ohio as well as voter turnout. The data for this report was taken from the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office and indicate official results. Clearly, the 2010 election saw a sea change in Ohio politics, and dramatic contrast with the 2006 election: 2010 was a Republican sweep, while 2006 saw a near Democratic sweep of state-wide contests. The Overall Election Picture in Ohio In 2010, prior to the November election, all state-wide offices up for election were in the hands of Democrats, except for the open Senate seat and the state auditor. These offices included the governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and state treasurer. Republican challengers were able to defeat every one of these Democratic incumbents and to also hold the Senate seat. Some of the Republican victories were narrow, but some were fairly resounding. With a poorly performing state economy and with a strong sense of anti-incumbent anger brewing in the state, Democrats saw their fortunes turn negative across the board. Map 1 is a depiction of the distribution of Republican votes for the average of all of the state-wide races in Ohio in 2010. Map 1 There are several geographic patterns in Map 1. First, we see that there is an urban-rural split in the distribution of Republican votes. For the most part, counties with large cities in them such as Cuyahoga (Cleveland), Franklin (Columbus), Lucas (Toledo), and Summit (Akron) leaned Democratic while more rural counties leaned Republican.
