Chris: [00:00:00] Weapons weapons, weapons. It’s what we’re speaking about in Ohio this week, given the entire tragedies which have occurred in current weeks, and we’ll be speaking about weapons as we speak on as we speak in Ohio, the information podcast dialogue from cleveland.com and the plain supplier. I’m Chris Quinn. I’m right here with Lisa Garvin. Courtney Astolfi and Laura Johnston.

Courtney, we’re additionally going to be speaking a couple of phenomenal story you wrote yesterday. I’m too properly. Let’s get going so we will get to that dialog. First, some weapons, if we will’t get information on what number of weapons are in Ohio as we speak. Do different measures exists to point out that the quantity seems to be rising both steadily or quickly.

Lisa, the federal lawmakers have executed all the things attainable to make it onerous to know gun tendencies on this nation information are protected and there’s a lot secrecy. There are some issues you’ll be able to have a look at that provide you with a sign, proper? Yeah.

Lisa: We’re taking a look at truly, we had to have a look at [00:01:00] firearms deaths right here in Ohio to get, form of get a deal with on what number of weapons are rattling across the Buckeye state gun information, as you mentioned, isn’t made public by the federal authorities.

That’s due to the Dickey modification of 1996. So we don’t know who owns weapons, who sells them, who has background checks, what number of weapons, folks personal, and the Dickey modification has banned. Federal analysis on weapons and gun security for 25 years. So the Ohio division of well being, since 2007 has been monitoring firearms deaths and 12 of the final 15 years, they noticed extra deaths than the earlier yr, 20, 20 and 2021 had the very best variety of gun deaths ever in Ohio in 2020 weeks.

1,764 and 2021. Then we had 1,894 and that cow might nonetheless go larger and Ohio determine since 2007. So a lot of the gun deaths are suicides in Ohio, 12,664, since [00:02:00] 2007, murder got here subsequent at 8,052 unintentional. 229 after which police concerned shootings have been 189 since 2007, however that’s beneath the nationwide pattern just a bit bit.

We additionally discover that Ohio background checks have doubled since 2007 to virtually one million, about 976,000 in 2020, however see background checks, don’t all the time denote a gun. Or what number of weapons that individual purchased, however the most effective estimate we will provide you with is there a, in all probability about 9.6 million new weapons in Ohio within the final 15 years?

Chris: Yeah. Th the background examine is, is a placing statistic, however so are the bar charts of deaths by, by gunshots? , we we’ve been speaking due to the, what occurred in Buffalo and what occurred in vault day about assault weapons, however in Cleveland the place you don’t have. 21 folks killed in a day, however you get 21 [00:03:00] folks killed over a matter of weeks.

It’s handguns. I imply, these are, these are the weapon of alternative for many of these. And the variety of these which might be floating round now has by no means been as excessive as it’s. Be fascinating to see if anyone can provide you with a gun, an inexpensive gun legislation that will one way or the other stem the variety of weapons falling into the arms of.

And get

Lisa: rid of the Dickey modification. I imply, you recognize, variety, they, they gained’t do analysis on weapons, so we don’t know something. I imply, we’re solely, we’re attempting to piece this along with, you recognize, varied money owed.

Chris: It’s superb how the lawmakers are so purchased and paid for by the gun foyer as a result of, as a result of their constituents are dying, persons are struggling due to the entire issues they’ve executed to make that secrecy attainable.

And but they proceed to serve the gun foyer as a substitute of their constituents. Um, we’ll be speaking just a little bit about how a lot cash they’ve obtained from the gun foyer. Like I mentioned, we’re speaking about weapons as we speak. It’s as we speak in Ohio. [00:04:00] Why are some folks taking offense at how Cuyahoga county prosecutor Mike O’Malley spoke with Cleveland metropolis council, girl, Stephanie Home at a current committee listening to on juvenile crime.

Courtney, I liked the way you constructed this story into one thing extra than simply reporting what occurred on the, on the desk. You made it a a lot richer piece about how black ladies leaders. Are handled in, in lots of conditions. Thanks.

Courtney: I feel it was vital to place this into context. It, it struck me that it wasn’t, it shouldn’t have been a, he mentioned she mentioned scenario, you recognize?

So, so, so what we noticed right here at a could 11 security committee listening to is Councilwoman Stephanie Home. Begin taking place this street of questions. At what level in our justice system, do we actually have a look at the perpetrators of crimes and determine why they’re committing crimes? She’s you recognize, she’s requested this of police departments.

She requested it of the juvenile courtroom choose, [00:05:00] and she or he requested it of county prosecutor, Michael O’Malley. Does your workplace look and see why children are possibly pulling a gun on folks and doing carjackings? Her line of questioning is aimed toward, we will’t stop crime if we don’t know why it’s right here. Let’s determine why it’s occurring.

And he or she went down this line of questioning, asking Michael Malley of his workplace conducts these sorts of assessments. And Michael Malley says, no, you recognize, that isn’t historically the function of the prosecutor’s workplace in Ohio, proper? So he mentioned, no, however she was making a grander level than, than saying, he’s not doing a particular slice of his job.

She was trying on the system as an entire. And, um, and, and Michael Malley got here,

Chris: properly, let me interrupt you there. We’re going to, we’ll get, we’ll get to the gist of this, however the place Michael Molly says, that’s not his job. I feel he’s essentially mistaken while you’re in juvenile. The aim of the juvenile courtroom, the rationale it was created, we’ve got the second oldest one within the nation was to [00:06:00] reform the youngsters that, that you simply’re not going to deal with them as grownup.

You don’t throw the e-book at them. You have a look at what’s finest for the child. And all people in that courtroom is meant to have that as their precedence. The lawyer representing the child, the choose probation officers and the. What’s finest for the child. Michael Malley doesn’t agree with that, however, however in the event you don’t have that as your goal, you need to abolished juvenile courtroom.

If it’s about throwing the e-book at him, that’s what we do in grownup courtroom. And that’s a part of what Stephanie has, is attempting to get at. That is concerning the child. We must be studying extra concerning the child and excited about the child and O’Malley refuses to just accept that. When O’Malley was on this dialogue, issues bought just a little bit heated.

Courtney: Yeah, very a lot so. So Councilman home continued along with her line of questioning and Michael Maley, um, began interrupting her. He, he ordered her communicate to me professionally, communicate to [00:07:00] me professionally. I don’t know what struck me, such as you’re speaking to a toddler or one thing. It was, it was bizarre, the tone there.

After which he, you recognize, didn’t he had known as her Ms. Home, not Councilwoman, um, continued to interrupt and there was similar to form of this forwards and backwards Malay, nevertheless it, it appeared to me now, I’m certain the prosecutor would disagree with this, nevertheless it appeared to me Councilwoman home and a bunch of other people that he was the one who.

He, he took it to this heated land form of first within the dialog. He bought actually labored up at her line of questioning and within the days which have adopted Councilwoman home, took to the council flooring and mentioned, you recognize, this, this didn’t, you recognize, I get into these interactions with menopause or typically.

As a result of I’ve the audacity to do my job and ask them questions on behalf of my constituents, you

Chris: know? Effectively, and don’t, however don’t neglect although. He additionally threw in her face that she had a relative, that his workplace had prosecuted. It was such a [00:08:00] non-sequitur you’re on the desk speaking a couple of vital juvenile crime drawback.

And he says, properly, I, I do know. The council girl is doing this it’s trigger I prosecuted her relative. I used to be simply essentially the most inappropriate factor you may probably

Courtney: say. Oh, proper, proper. She didn’t increase this matter. He, he went private when she’s sitting on the desk doing her job, similar to all of her colleagues are.

Proper. And that, that, that struck lots of people as off-base and really problematic as properly. Completely.

Chris: So that you went and also you went, talked to another, uh, black ladies leaders who’ve confronted comparable sorts of discussions, Emilia, Sykes being considered one of them. And what was their basic consensus? Yeah, this

Courtney: occurs on a regular basis.

Whenever you’re, while you’re a black girl chief displaying up in areas the place you don’t normally see black ladies, um, you recognize, politics is, is one key instance, however Emilia Sykes was additionally saying, you recognize, black ladies within the C-suite and professionals and different fields. Get talked over, talked all the way down to and deal with this daily.

And, and, um, [00:09:00] you recognize, it, it simply, it was, it was unhappy. Trigger trigger of us take care of this on a regular basis.

Chris: Effectively, I, I watched the video of this and I used to be shocked. I’ve recognized Michael Malley for years and years and years. I used to be shocked that he did this. I imply, the council girl was not being in any manner disrespectful.

She was being passionate. And look she’s after one thing we’ve been after ourselves for a very long time. If juvenile courts job is to reform the child, how does a child. Going via the courtroom 13 instances and finally turning into a pistol, toting carjacker. That’s what she’s attempting to get at. The place are we going mistaken?

What are we studying from these children? They’ve been via the system. Why aren’t we learning them within the early years earlier than their carjackers to determine how one can cease it? And that’s a very authentic query and she will be able to’t get a solution. She had the choose there, she had O’Malley there. And as she’s asking it pissed off that she will be able to’t get a solution.

He begins with the stuff [00:10:00] you need to communicate to me professionally and I, it simply got here out of the blue. I, it was, you have been within the room when it occurred, proper? I used to be,

Courtney: uh, I used to be on the workplace, however I used to be watching it stay and it made my jaw drop instantly. Um, it, it was, it was bizarre and off base. As quickly because it began occurring, I’ve by no means seen something like that at a council committee, council members get heated and passionate on a regular basis and that’s what she was doing.

And that’s when she was. Form of slapped down by these sorts.

Chris: However she responded to his unprofessionalism actually professionally. And he or she, it was, it was so spectacular to observe her all through that listening to. I imply, she she’s, after one thing that’s actually vital for the way forward for town, the, the youngsters, and whereas she’s being handled badly, she’s standing in persevering with to press for what she wished to do it.

Factor you need to learn Courtney’s story and watch the listening to to get a sense for what we’re speaking about. The tales on [00:11:00] cleveland.com. You’re listening to as we speak. Bye reader request loads of reader requests. We’ve assembled the listing of how a lot cash Ohio politicians have obtained from the gun foyer.

What’s the whole massive quantity and who’re the leaders in getting money from the foyer that has persuaded lawmakers to liberalize the gun legal guidelines. Laura it’s, it’s a telling chart set of charts that Seth Richardson printed.

Laura: Sure, that’s Fredericton did an excellent job with the story and the whole grand whole from all gun business, lobbying teams is $580,000 since 2010.

And I bought to say, it’s a giant quantity, however I anticipated it to be quite a bit larger. Um, while you have a look at the facility that the NRA has, um, and the NRA, the nationwide rifle affiliation is the chief of that cash. They contributed practically $310,000 to Ohio. Politicians that’s predominantly on the federal degree although. And the lawmakers who obtained these donations have been reliably of their camp.

They voted to dam extra restrictive payments or chip away [00:12:00] at current restrictions. The opposite massive ones are safari membership worldwide. That’s a lobbying group for hunters. They gave greater than $90,000. The nationwide taking pictures sports activities basis, which has a gun producer traded. Trade group pitched in $88,500.

And Republicans accounted for the overwhelming majority of these. Though there are some democratic lawmakers that accepted funds largely earlier than the Sandy hook taking pictures in 2012. That’s when Democrats have been once more, pushing for reform, corresponding to common background checks and people like Tim Ryan has, um, pledged to donate.

A number of the cash they bought from the organizations to gun security. However yeah, I imply, this goes, goes to loads of Republicans within the state.

Chris: Yeah. I th th th the variety of {dollars} DeWine has gotten, it’s very telling as a result of he’s the one which got here out. As quickly as he bought elected saying, I would like widespread sense gun legal guidelines, he’s utterly backtracked.

After which he signed. He didn’t need to, however he signed the [00:13:00] invoice eliminating permits for hid carry.

Laura: Do I solely bought $8,500 since 2010. I imply, that has gotta be chump change to the governor who, who in all probability rakes in all kinds of cash. You have a look at home invoice six and we talked about first vitality on a regular basis. We’re speaking far more cash. And sure, most of this cash goes to Republicans on the federal degree.

Bob Latta at bowling inexperienced Republic. 48,000 since 2010. He’s main state Dave Joyce and vapor township. Second most at 41 5, however folks like Larry householder, a former home speaker. And I’ve taught talking a couple of home invoice six, solely 6,000 donations in that timeframe. I imply, and within the meantime they’re voting for all of those gun payments.

Jeremy Peltzer did that nice story. Final week, we talked about how. Simply systematically. The permitless carry got here to be in Ohio and at each flip, the Republicans voted for it. $6,000 isn’t loads of

Chris: cash, though in a home and [00:14:00] Senate race, it’s, I imply, they don’t get the form of {dollars} you get for statewide or congressional races for 12

Laura: years.

I simply, I can’t, you gotta have the ability to get cash some other place.

Chris: Effectively, that’s the cash that we learn about.

Laura: That’s true that we’re not speaking about packs. That’s true. That is the stuff that’s declared of their marketing campaign contributions. You’re

Chris: listening to as we speak in Ohio.

Laura: So Chris, I wished to ask you the coverage of the plain supplier about publishing advertisements for firearms and what was the paper pondering and this massive firearms advert that was printed on Sunday, full with assault rifles.

And that’s why we’ll all morning. These victims in two current mass

Chris: shootings. Yeah. It’s th this has occurred. It looks like a number of instances through the years the place there’s an enormous firearms slaughter tragedy, after which. Individuals decide up their Sunday paper and so they see a giant gun advert and so they tell us about it.

Um, so a pair issues, you recognize, our coverage th the, the overall promoting [00:15:00] coverage on the plain supplier is to just accept firearms advertisements as a result of the second modification permits folks to have weapons. They’re authorized. And we have a look at our platforms as facilities of free speech and to start out censoring these advertisements. One thing we’re hesitant to do.

Uh, we had a coverage prohibiting photos of firearms on the promoting that wraps the entrance of the paper. And we had guidelines about the place salt weapons might go. Our president, Brad Harmon did, uh, in responding to this newest set of complaints. We’re not going to just accept assault weapons anymore. Uh, our editorial board just lately got here out very strongly saying we have to reinstate.

The assault weapons ban that when existed in America. So, uh, Brad thought it’d be hypocritical to proceed cashing in on these. So these gained’t seem past this week. There’s an advert showing within the suns that has them as a result of it was printed a very long time in the past. On this case, although, this advert. I used to be put in an [00:16:00] permitted and reviewed earlier than Buffalo.

Effectively, earlier than any of the shootings. And as soon as it goes via that course of, no person actually appears to be like at it once more as a result of it will get within the shoot. It’s going to get printed and it’s not entrance of thoughts. So one of many issues that. That Brad desires to do. We’re going to arrange a calendar the place a bunch of us know when these advertisements are coming.

So on a Friday morning, earlier than the Sunday it’ll pop up. , if this is able to have popped up on Friday, it will have mentioned, whoa, that shouldn’t run. , look what simply occurred. Uh, and hopefully it’ll stop it sooner or later. However it’s a, it’s a dicey factor. The beginning saying no to sure advertisements. I imply, there are lots of people that assume playing is unhealthy, for example, proper.

Different folks have a look at it as a pastime. Ought to we not run playing advertisements or alcohol advertisements? Uh, it’s some folks’s vices is any person else’s not vice. And it’s a tricky one to take care of for now. Weapons are authorized in America. So we take promoting for authorized merchandise. You’re listening to as we speak in Ohio. No less than I’m going to skip forward as a result of Laura [00:17:00] is a room mother and must get to highschool.

Why did the introduced purchaser of two main downtown Cleveland accommodations, the Hyatt Regency arcade and the Renaissance Cleveland abruptly. What occurs now, Laura, take it away while you’re executed right here. You’re executed with

Laura: the podcast. That’s proper. I’m going to the zoo as we speak. Um, so we don’t actually know what occurred, however in December Toronto based mostly VM resort, acquisition company, they introduced they might purchase the 491 room Renaissance, Cleveland resort, and the 293 room.

And, and the arcade principally, and these each accommodations are owned by skyline investments. Um, that’s one other agency based mostly in Toronto and Skyland had purchased the Hyatt out of foreclosures in 2012 and the Renaissance three years later. They usually’re present process a large renovation, $70 million of the Renaissance, which is a century outdated they’re rebranding it because the Cleveland, as a part of their upscale autograph assortment.

So that’s nonetheless going to, that’s nonetheless going ahead. Anxious once I learn [00:18:00] Sean MacDonald’s story, that the work wasn’t going to occur, however we don’t actually know why this different Toronto agency backed out. They simply put out a information launch and mentioned they have been pulling out as a consequence of capital market volatility brought on by present world occasions.

And if this world is something, it’s unstable. Yeah. I do know.

Chris: I simply don’t assume what’s occurring in Ukraine is reducing down on Cleveland tourism. These are two of town. Signature accommodations. These are, these are nice locations. And such as you mentioned, there’s a giant funding being made. Um, I, it, the, the reason feels unfulfilling.

I

Laura: agree. And I imply, the Renaissance is without doubt one of the greatest accommodations in Cleveland and the ballroom is used on a regular basis for giant metropolis occasions. So it’s a, it’s a really, it’s connected to tower metropolis. It’s a giant a part of town. And so I hope that it’s stored up properly and that they discover one other purchaser. If that’s what they select to do.

I imply, $18 million for it once they purchased it. And Susan Glasser wrote a giant story about this final [00:19:00] fall. They usually have been saying that the resort occupancy in downtown Cleveland, she was utilizing August numbers. Then with 63%, the very best it had been in two years. And that was actually good on the weekends. It was nonetheless lagging for enterprise vacationers on the weekday.

I’ve to anticipate the best way that tourism is that this yr that they’re getting a superb crowds, no less than on the weekends. Even when enterprise journey isn’t all the best way again.

Chris: Yeah, ultimately. I guess we get just a little bit higher rationalization about why this deal fell aside. These are fascinating properties. It’s as we speak in Ohio and we’ll bid you adieu have enjoyable on the zoo by why is Cuyahoga county, government arm, and Buddhists making folks put on masks once more in all county buildings.

Lisa, this appears odd. Th the, the basket mandates all went away and folks have been left to their very own. If you wish to put on a masks to guard your self, you get an N 95 masks and also you’re usually protected, however king county goes a distinct route. Hello, form of bought to

Lisa: give him props for it. Um, they’re basing this on the most recent numbers from the CDC that [00:20:00] reveals Cuyahoga county at excessive transmission ranges.

And that’s based mostly on hospital admissions per 1000 peop 100,000 people who share of inpatient beds with confirmed COVID sufferers and new circumstances per 100 thousand inhabitants within the final week. And when you hit that degree, the CDC recommends carrying masks in doorways. So yesterday. County government Armand Buddhists signed an government order, mandating masks and all county authorities buildings.

That takes impact as we speak. Guests should additionally preserve six ft aside. Not more than 4 folks in an elevator at a time. And Buddhists use this chance to encourage folks to get vaccinated and boosted. So yeah, within the, within the. Within the face of volatility and ugliness overmatch. So you bought to provide him credit score for, you recognize, instituting.

He desires to maintain his workers secure. That’s what he.

Chris: Yeah. Look, we nonetheless hear from people who, which might be beside themselves, that there’s no more care being taken as a result of as we’ve [00:21:00] mentioned, the coronavirus is spreading fairly quickly. All of us really feel like we all know a number of people who have had it just lately.

You’re having. However, nevertheless it appeared just like the nation had moved into no extra mandates that that is private alternative. You may shield your self and that’s as much as you. Uh, that is, it is a public well being determination he’s making to say. I need to preserve all people secure. Uh, looks like an outlier. Courtney, you cowl metropolis corridor.

You don’t need to put on a masks in metropolis corridor proper now. Do folks put on masks? They’re

Courtney: it’s a, it’s a private alternative. Handfuls of individuals put on them’s loads of of us.

Chris: , Frank Jackson was, was one of many early ones to place in a masked mandate, not only for metropolis corridor, however for indoor buildings. And it felt prefer it stayed in metropolis corridor for a really very long time.

Do you assume Justin bib will observe right here and do the identical factor for metropolis workers?

Courtney: Yeah, I’m actually unsure as a result of it was in impact at metropolis corridor longer into this spring than just about wherever else I went. So it looks like simply misplaced the mass at metropolis [00:22:00] corridor up. I’m unsure if we’ll be bringing them again anytime.

Chris: You guys each are out. And about what number of would you estimate the proportion of individuals you see in shops and eating places are carrying masks.

Lisa: I might say 25%, however I see it going up. I truly see extra folks carrying masks in the previous few weeks, you recognize, as a result of principally infectious illness specialists each regionally and nationally are saying, all people’s going to get this.

I feel that’s the factor that folks, you recognize, we’re so bored with masks. We’re so bored with lock-downs, however COVID is like working via the neighborhood. Individuals I do know that by no means caught it have caught it. After which the final couple.

Chris: I do know that these of us who’ve by no means had it have gotten a tiny minority of America and it’s form of eerie to be in that group.

Uh, Courtney, what about you? Do you see lots of people carrying masks

Courtney: like Lisa? I imply, I wouldn’t say 25%, however I’ve seen extra of us carrying it the previous couple of weeks.

Chris: Okay. You’re listening to as we speak. Why gained’t the [00:23:00] Cuyahoga county council pay for a research of the jail that was permitted by all of the members of the brand new jail web site choice committee who have been current for the vote.

Courtney. This was considered one of two issues that the committee voted to do. One is to check the poisonous web site the place the jail is likely to be constructed to see simply what’s there. The second was to get a up-to-date research overwhelm. The jail in its present state has any attainable use sooner or later correctional scene, however the county council gained’t pay for it.

Why

Courtney: not? I feel it’s a waste of taxpayer cash. The primary research value one million {dollars} to finish a number of years in the past. Um, and so they don’t need to pay for one more.

Chris: What’s fascinating is we’ve by no means seen that research. It was eight years in the past and it’s 700 pages. And, uh, I used to be speaking to your colleague, Caitlin.

She went again to learn the tales about when this initially got here out and there was one story that was about like one a part of the [00:24:00] research. It didn’t get into the meat of it. And it turned out the county refused to launch it saying it will unveil safety measures. So Caitlin. Working to get that factor now, as a result of there are questions on how authentic it was then.

So in the event you’re making choices in 2022, on a research of questionable provenance in 2014, that’s not good public coverage, however possibly it was a very thorough research. Possibly it’s loaded with good element. Uh, hopefully we’ll get to see it. Sure.

Courtney: Yeah. I imply, I, I might argue that they, there’s no manner that they need to have been capable of maintain it again from the general public this lengthy.

They, they higher adjust to Ohio public information legislation, as a result of that is such a pivotal doc. They should flip it over.

Chris: Yeah, I, I, I don’t keep in mind this. I don’t keep in mind the research popping out the jail wasn’t as entrance of thoughts, again then, because it began to be in 2018, when, when inmates began to die in massive numbers.

But when they did a complete research in 2014, [00:25:00] that mentioned this jail is caput, we have to get shifting. You actually need to surprise what it’s eight years later. W w did you not act on this? Did you not give it some thought? What. The method put in place to get it going. It looks like the talks concerning the new jail didn’t start in earnest till you and your colleague, Adam Perise reported on all of the horrible issues which have occurred there.

Effectively

Courtney: keep in mind although, like proper, is all that was breaking within the fall of 2018 and we have been into it and we have been contemporary off seven inmate deaths. There was the start of the. This MOU course of that will have stood up the steering committee. And that was an offshoot of what they present in that 2014 story.

So there have been steps that, that had stalled within the years between 2014 and 2018, the place they have been attempting to face up a bunch to make choices, to, to result in the alternative of the jail. After which increase, we had the inmate deaths. Throttled that into the forefront, however they have been [00:26:00] taking very sluggish, drawn out child steps.

On account of this 2014 research, it’s simply, they didn’t transfer rapidly sufficient. After which within the meantime, you had a bunch of parents die and that actually kicked it into gear.

Chris: And keep in mind, you recognize, you’ve the. After which the Marshall service got here in and did a large inspection that discovered the place simply riddled with well being and safety points, despite the fact that state inspectors have registered repeatedly rubber stamp that as being okay.

What if the 2014. Really presages that deaths might happen. What, what, what if the research says it is a harmful place and if one thing’s not executed quickly, there’s going to be disaster and that was ignored. I can’t wait to see what that 700 web page report says.

Courtney: Yeah. I I’m actually curious, wish to get into the nitty gritty of it.

, one factor we see very a lot missing on the present jail, even with adjustments. Or the medical amenities. I’m actually curious what the research says concerning the [00:27:00] adequacy of the medical amenities there and what a brand new jail might carry. There’s simply all these little components and items to correct jail operations, however that research ought to shine a reasonably large gentle on,

Chris: and that research would have come out.

What, simply earlier than Arman Buddhists was elected or simply after, I suppose. Okay. We’ll see. Hopefully we’ll get our arms on it. You’re listening to as we speak in Ohio. Who’s getting massive cash from the Ohio capital funds and who’s been disregarded. Lisa Intel is a giant winner, clearly. Oh yeah.

Lisa: They’re getting an enormous chunk of change from the Ohio capital funds.

The entire funds is $3.5 billion. It was launched yesterday. It contains 191 million to a neighborhood challenge. Earmarks. This cash comes from the state’s basic income fund. It additionally comes from different state and federal cash. It additionally contains $809 million in American rescue plan, cash, ARPA cash. So, yeah, Intel winner winner rooster dinner, they’re getting over [00:28:00] a billion {dollars} from the Ohio division of improvement.

Uh, 95 million for brand new native roads to the place the crops being in-built new Albany, 600 million and onshoring and. 101 million in water and sewer upgrades to the location and $300 million for a water reclamation plant.
