Chris: [00:00:00] It’s Friday on at present in Ohio, the information podcast dialogue from cleveland.com and the plain seller. I’m Chris Quinn right here with Lisa Garvin, Laurie Johnston, and Layla Tassie. Earlier than we get began on dialogue of the information, I don’t know when you guys noticed yesterday, there was a ballot that was got here out within the governor’s race.

We don’t report polls for causes we’ve defined. They’re not that dependable. I used to be shocked at the way it was reported although. Trigger it confirmed the one. I had a 15 level lead on Nan Whaley and the reporting on it was, oh my gosh, she’s bought a commanding lead and I’m taking a look at it pondering, wow, he’s been in workplace longer than Nan.

Willie’s been alive. All people in Ohio is aware of him, hardly anyone is aware of who Nan Whaley is but. And she or he’s solely 15 factors behind. I’d be doing handstands if I have been Nan Whaley. Trigger that may be a margin. She will be able to overcome if she will get her title on the market. However when you have a look at the reporting, it’s like, it’s, Dwayne’s, Dwayne’s going to win massive.

He’s bought an enormous

Lisa: lead. I don’t [00:01:00] know. She’s bought lots of months to, to make up some floor and you recognize, lots of points that she will be able to push, you recognize, to, to get her forward. I’d say.

Chris: Yeah. I, I actually suppose the Democrats have a shot right here. I, that is, if I have been Mike DeWine, I’d be frightened. You understand, we talked yesterday in regards to the press convention in regards to the autopilot.

We thought we might discuss extra about it at present, however they didn’t say something. It was like, they weren’t able to have this press convention. We don’t even know what automobile we’re going to construct. And I’m questioning. The wind feeling the strain is staging some press conferences and pushed it early. Anyway, it’s a ballot.

You’ll be able to’t actually belief polls, however, however the best way it’s being reported is odd to

Laura: me. I believe Nan Whaley has a chance. Weapons and abortion to have a very centrist standpoint. And if all people comes out, not simply the tremendous partisan individuals, it’s each, it’s actually a get out the vote form of concern, I believe.

Chris: And she or he’s younger and he or she’s likable. So I [00:02:00] look, I, I simply, it’s odd if go have a look at the information reviews on it. Trigger I believe that the entire focus was fully, fully missed the politics of what’s occurring. Anyway, we’re not right here to speak about that. Let’s start. Is it coincidence or intentional that the Ohio home handed a ban on transgender ladies taking part in ladies sports activities in highschool on the primary day of delight month?

Properly, what would the.

Leila: You understand, to do that on the primary day of delight is simply off the charts offensive, I believe. And I discover it unattainable to imagine that they didn’t know what they have been doing. Proper. I imply, home invoice, 1 51 handed 56 to twenty-eight with the Democrats voting towards it. It now heads to the Ohio Senate, which is in summer time recess they usually received’t return till the autumn as an alternative of contemplating testosterone ranges or the size of time an athlete has been medically transitioning home invoice 1 51.

Is could be an all out ban of transgender women and girls from taking part in ladies’s sports activities. If an athlete’s intercourse is disputed, she would [00:03:00] should current assigned doctor assertion about her inside and exterior reproductive anatomy and regular endogenously produced ranges of testosterone. She additionally must present an evaluation of her genetic make-up.

Are you able to think about? So technically as consultant Beth Liston from Columbus identified, if a woman seems just a little too masculine, or if a dad or mum is upset that one other little one will get extra taking part in time than their little one, they might merely name into query the opposite little one’s anatomy. And there goes the. Your complete evaluation of this, uh, this individual’s, uh, sexual id, um, you recognize, outrageously this invoice began out as one thing completely, one thing else completely.

It sought to vary the Ohio resident educator program, which assists new academics with mentoring {and professional} improvement. As they begin out their careers, the invoice would allow on-line mentoring along with in-person mentoring and stuff like that. [00:04:00] However on the Ohio home ground, late Wednesday evening consultant Gina Powell, a Republican from Darke county supplied this modification to the invoice primarily based on an earlier bail that she had sponsored known as the save ladies’s sports activities act.

That invoice had solely obtained two hearings after being launched final yr. Again then Powell tried so as to add the save ladies’s sports activities act into one other invoice, defending faculty athletes, names, pictures, and likenesses. Do not forget that all people, she tried to cover this objectionable concept within the guts of a invoice that most individuals might get behind, however her modification died within the Senate again that.

So right here it’s once more.

Chris: Yeah. I imply, they’re going to argue that as a result of they handed it once they did, as a result of it was the final day earlier than their recess. However, however you’re proper. The importance of doing it once they did it, it’s a slap within the face. You understand, we talked yesterday about how the legislature shouldn’t have executed the third grade studying assure.

They need to have used educators to determine what one of the best ways to get children to learn is [00:05:00] that Ohio highschool athletic affiliation. I had put lots of thought right into a coverage on transgender. They’re the specialists on this. They usually actually had invested themselves and developing with a coverage. And right here we’ve lawmakers on fully partisan grounds with no thought in regards to the signal.

Overruling the educators and saying, that is the best way it’s going to go in a, in a, what’s a reasonably offensive form of program. And also you’re proper. Wait, the minute someone takes a fence on the athletic prowess of a woman in a highschool athletic contest, they’re going to say, I need the check. I need the check.

I believe they’re a boy and that’ll be terrible.

Leila: Yeah. Proper. And, and, you recognize, by, by shoehorning it into one other piece of laws, You’re you’re bypassing the essential a part of the legislative course of, the place you hear from the individuals the place you’re you collect the suggestions again out of your constituents and study in regards to the affect of your discriminatory coverage, unreal individuals.

Paul is attempting to get this [00:06:00] handed earlier than transgender college students have an opportunity to be heard. Properly, I, you recognize, I can solely think about that doing this on the very starting of delight month goes to whip up all that opposition. And so. Properly, it’s additionally,

Chris: it’s additionally unlawful that doesn’t appear to matter with our lawmakers anymore, the governor, since you’re presupposed to have single topic payments and cramming.

Yeah. So, I imply, you’ll be able to problem this regulation by way of the Ohio Supreme courtroom as a result of it doesn’t do this, however, however, and that’s what’s proper. Th the explanation they do it’s they don’t wish to have the hearings. It’s what they do within the lame duck session. They go all types of stuff they usually, and we by no means get to have hearings about it.

Um, it’s a really cynical strategy. And once more, it’s the lawmakers breaking the regulation, which, which has created simply statewide cynicism about our elected leaders. It’s a form of a tragic day. It might have been value having an actual dialogue about this as a result of there are lots of Ohio ones which are nonetheless attempting to determine what they give it some thought.

You’re listening to [00:07:00] at present in Ohio. With parking at Cleveland Hopkins worldwide airport generally fully full. What number of areas may the airport be including with its buy and demolition of the lodge on the airport grounds? We stated, we talked beforehand about how they’re shopping for that lodge they usually thought it will be parking, however they’ve quantified what it’s going to imply in parking.

Lisa: Sure, I’m the town of Cleveland goes to pay 12.1 million to terminate the lease of the Sheraton Cleveland airport lodge. That. 26 years early, and that can pave the best way for its demolition later this yr or early subsequent yr, the lodge closed completely on Tuesday. So it has a 432 area parking zone that can open to vacationers very quickly.

And that can be added to the orange. After which after the lodge is demolished, that can create about 4 to 500 extra parking areas. The, the, yeah, the Sheraton lodge was, it was declining. It opened again in 1959. It was purchased by LN hospitality. In 2015, [00:08:00] they’d a lease for $300,000 a yr that went by way of 2048, however that’s been terminated.

And Ellen hospitality was sued final yr for defaulting on their loans. There was a nasty metropolis inspection. The lodge was in very poor form. Um, airport director, Robert Kennedy says that the airways that do enterprise at Hopkins will cowl the acquisition of the lodge. They usually hope to recoup that in about 10 years, they determine about 1.2 to $1.4 million a yr in added parking income.

As soon as that’s, as soon as the lodge is gone.

Chris: Yeah. I imply, I suppose this could possibly be debatable, however that’s, that’s a walkable parking space. Should you park there, you’re about as distant because the distant a part of the storage. And so that you don’t have to attend for a shuttle to return get you.

Lisa: Yeah. And that was a giant factor is that these are adjoining to the orange lot.

They’re very near a walkable state of affairs, however you recognize, that is fascinating. I didn’t know this Hopkins actually lags on airport area, parking areas, comparable airports, Columbus has 16. [00:09:00] Areas Pittsburgh has 14,000 Hopkins has 6,500 at present, they usually’re solely going to get perhaps a thousand extra. That’s

Chris: trigger they tore down that storage.

That they had an enormous storage and moderately than make it work, they tore it down, which actually places individuals right into a bind in the event that they arrive on the airport with not lots of time. And the place is crowded talking as somebody who desires to drive to New York, as a result of I couldn’t discover parking for my flight. It’s excellent news that they’re including, however there, there appears to be a necessity for a way more thorough parking answer on the airport, perhaps as a part of their massive plan.

We’ll begin speaking about that. It’s at present in Ohio. Why are the true property purchases by a candidate for Congress in Ohio being known as carpetbagging by the candidates, critics, Laura, this was an fascinating technique by someone who actually desires to get elected.

Laura: Yeah, that is Madison to Zerto Gilbert, and he or she purchased three homes simply to run when [00:10:00] she didn’t know the place the boundaries could be.

Wouldn’t or not it’s good if we might all identical to purchase three homes. Um, she additionally spent three months operating for a Toledo primarily based congressional seat earlier than saying in March that she would run as an alternative. And the newly. thirteenth congressional district that features all of summit county, a sliver of Portage and Northern star county, to be honest whereas the redistricting drama was taking part in out, no one knew the place the boundaries have been going to be.

So it was this very unsure interval. And I believe she was simply attempting to. Play the chances of the place she might get elected. Clearly she actually desires to be in Congress. She beat out I imagine 5 – 6 different candidates within the major, uh, in could. However yeah, she, uh, her, her now competitor, very long time, Ohio legislator, Emilia psyched of Akron is looking her a carpetbagger.

Chris: Properly, I, if you wish to run for Congress and the gerrymandering issues, don’t offer you an concept of what. [00:11:00] Your line can be, I suppose, what, what alternative do you have got? Proper. I imply, it’s important to reside within the district. You’re operating,

Laura: you possibly can hire a spot. I imply, might I am going over a few of the costs that she paid? So she purchased a home in Canton and April, 2019 for 250, $3,000.

She lately she offered {that a} yr later for 3 25. So clearly made some cash there. Then her, her household purchased in March 20. 21 at it was after she married a former NFL deal with named Marcus Gilbert. She introduced property in Hartville. That property is valued at 463,000. We don’t know precisely how a lot they pay for it.

After which, uh, I dunno, 10 months later they purchased a $2 million property in north Canton and that was sale registered sooner or later earlier than she introduced that she would run for Congress, however she thought she’d be dealing with Marcy Kaptur, which I like this on Twitter, someone. That they had a direct flight between Canton and mercy.[00:12:00]

Chris: Alright, fascinating technique. We’ll see if it pays off

Leila: for it. It’s humorous to me that like all through this redistricting debacle, the Democrats are saying that the Republicans who have been holding the pen and have been utilizing their data of Democrats plans to run in sure districts, to attract them out of these districts or to attract a number of candidates into the identical district.

After which. That is how Republicans get round

Laura: the district. There’s additionally a golf course. I imagine that her household owns, however, um, she is, I wished to say she is from the world like she was born, I imagine in Jackson township. So it’s, it’s not like she simply moved right into a room. Purchased and determined to name it house.

Like she does have roots there, however one different fascinating tidbit is that secretary of state, frankly, rose texted Gilbert in regards to the boundaries of the thirteenth and ninth district, as quickly because the maps got here out. So you have got the man on the redistricting fee who’s in command of elections for Ohio, texting a candidate and saying, Hey, right here’s what the boundaries are going to be.[00:13:00]

She ought to increase some cysts.

Chris: I don’t know. Nice segue to our subsequent query. You’re listening to at present in Ohio. What are some wish to be democratic candidates for the Ohio state home? Arguing in a lawsuit that the Ohio Supreme courtroom is fast-tracking Layla. That is one other instance of the secretary of state.

The man who’s presupposed to be the guardian of elections, attempting to stay it to Democrats. Each step of this redistricting course of, the Republicans have performed soiled to try to hold Democrats from profitable any seats. It is a actually legit lawsuit.

Leila: Sure. Yeah. So on the coronary heart of this, we’ve bought submitting deadlines and the stakes are fairly excessive as a result of if the Democrats fail right here, it might imply they might not have.

Legitimate candidates in at the very least three democratic leaning state legislative districts. And it will go away state Democrats even additional behind in a yr when Republicans are actually doing fairly nicely nationally. So the angle candidates are for individuals [00:14:00] who wish to run for the state legislature, and two who wish to run for the Ohio democratic social gathering central committee.

And. They wish to drive Frank Le rose and county elections officers to just accept their candidate petitions, to run within the August 2nd particular major election. They are saying Laura’s improperly advised elections staff earlier this week to reject their petitions, to stop Democrats from even fielding candidates for workplace this yr in any respect.

And the central query is. Whether or not candidates needed to file their petitions in February, like Laura says, or could just like the Democrats say, and right here’s why it’s even a query. They usually decided submitting deadlines by beginning on the election date after which counting backwards underneath the state regulation. It’s important to file 90 days earlier than an election to make the poll counting again from August 2nd, that units the submitting deadline on Might 4th.

Writing candidates should file 72 days earlier than the election. That’s Might twenty second. All of the plaintiffs within the democratic lawsuit filed this, filed this week, um, to [00:15:00] run earlier than both of these two dates, however within the written steering to elections officers this week. The rose stated candidates wanted to file by February 2nd, as a result of final week’s federal courtroom order that finalize the district strains and set August 2nd because the election date, didn’t change the unique submitting deadlines.

February 2nd is 90 days earlier than Might third. When the state legislative elections have been presupposed to happen and weeks earlier than the strains have been even drawn, it looks like a no brainer that one couldn’t have filed to run an election with out figuring out what district they’d be operating. It. However Lee rose is saying you possibly can have filed a kind in March indicating that you simply plan to run in a unique district.

Given the re-districting debacle, he’s attempting to say that had you had that forethought, you possibly can have gotten round this, this dilemma that they discover themselves in now, however, uh, that is, uh, that is. Fairly an issue. Liros

Chris: has grow to be one of many [00:16:00] most sinister forces in Ohio. He holds himself out like, ah, I’m an excellent man.

I’m an excellent man. He’s not an excellent man. He, he, he, he corrupted your complete gerrymandering system, uh, as a part of. Redistricting fee. That is fully disingenuous. He is aware of he’s incorrect. They’ve bought to have the ability to file as soon as they know what the strains are. And simply because the courtroom is silent on the deadlines, doesn’t imply they’re implementing the deadlines who needs to be bending over backwards to, to help the election course of, to assist candidates get on the poll.

It ought to at all times be err, on the facet. Increasing the participation. And as an alternative he’s utilizing a harebrained idea to, to dam democratic leaning districts from having democratic leaders. After having been a part of the system that gerrymandered the districts to cut back the variety of democratic leaning districts, he’s actually a nasty.

Leila: It appears to me like this can be a simple one for the courtroom. Don’t you? I imply, if the [00:17:00] state regulation says you depend backward from the election, I really feel just like the Democrats are going to shake out on the correct facet of this. Wow.

Chris: They usually’re quick monitoring it’s so clearly they see that it’s, it’s an

Leila: pressing state of affairs resolve shortly.

Yeah,

Chris: I simply, however, however make no mistake whereas rose is taking part in soiled, he’s attempting to proceed to skew and have disproportionate energy for his events. He’s placing social gathering forward of the voters. He’s placing social gathering forward of what’s greatest for the state. And he’s the secretary of state. I imply, that is the man who’s supposed to place elections above.

Make sure that they’re sacrosanct. You’re listening to at present. Why is it so exhausting to seek out individuals who wish to be firefighters, Lisa who

Lisa: knew nicely, and this isn’t only a native drawback, it’s a nationwide drawback as nicely. And it’s been years within the making and the pandemic could have, you recognize, supercharged it just a little bit, however firefighter candidates have decreased considerably lately and fireplace chiefs that we discuss to [00:18:00] suspect so much.

Job stress. It’s a tense job. The possibilities for harm are pretty excessive. The hours are unpredictable and a few departments have, uh, their firefighters be paramedics as nicely. So that they have twin certification and the workweeks are odd. I imply, they, they work out like a few days and there have been a few days off and you recognize, some individuals can’t alter to that, however space fireplace chiefs are United in saying.

Used to decrease their requirements. They don’t wish to do this, however they want to determine some new recruiting strategies. So a few of the issues they’ve talked about is beginning in highschool, creating fireplace academies in highschool and getting, you recognize, children fascinated by it. They usually additionally wish to stress the group service advantages of being a firefighter, which is an fascinating tack, uh, cities within the air in Northeast Ohio space are collaborating on regional entry.

Entrance exams. So it will be one intrigues examination, one applicant pool from which the cities can pull their candidates. Uh, the Rhea fireplace chief Terry [00:19:00] Leadwell says he’s contemplating decreasing the appliance price. These are all efforts to try to get extra women and men into the firefighter.

Chris: You understand, what’s odd is we’ve talked about how they’re having a tough time getting cops.

And that’s just a little extra comprehensible as a result of the police are within the crossfire. All people loves firefighters. I imply, who doesn’t, who doesn’t, when the firetruck goes by within the parade clap and get excited. Uh, it looks like they’re additionally coping with what all people’s coping with discovering staff, however this additionally speaks to, we’ve too many.

Firehouses in Cuyahoga county, we should always have a countywide fireplace division. So with effectivity, you wouldn’t want as many firefighters on the par a part of our drawback is we bought fireplace departments in every single place with redundancy the place the firehouses are labeled. We talked about this a few weeks in the past, didn’t we?

Yeah, we

Leila: did. Yeah. After we have been speaking about, uh, mutual help and the way incessantly communities should faucet into that to struggle their largest, uh, their largest fireplace. They, they so [00:20:00] usually should rely on each other. Why not create these formalized, you recognize, simply, simply formalize the agreements so that you’re one massive, uh, regional fireplace division.

Yeah.

Laura: I wish to add right here although, isn’t just preventing fires. The vast majority of these departments, these of us are additionally IMTS and that’s lots of work. It’s not simply. For there to be a fireplace, proper there, responding to all types of emergencies. Take into consideration COVID for the final two years they have been going into individuals’s homes.

You understand, you’re, they’re driving the ambulance. You’re, you recognize, you simply by no means know what sort of emergency goes to be developing. And that have to be tense. And it they’ve bought to raise these individuals on stretchers. Them of their properties and also you by no means know what the situation of the properties are. B. I do see that it’s, it’s a tense job.

And I believe the preventing fires might be a smaller half than the EMT.

Leila: Properly, and it’s additionally true that in, in impoverished communities of the place lots of people are uninsured, they rely on the, uh, the EMT transport, actually healthcare, proper? Like [00:21:00] they go to the hospital even for minor diseases through ambulance.

So it’s true. It’s very true.

Lisa: No. I used to be gonna say, I hope it really works. They used to should cap their functions simply, you recognize, 10 years in the past there have been strains out the door for individuals desirous to be firefighters, however now they’re getting lower than 50 candidates and generally a lot lower than that. So it’ll be fascinating.

Yeah. I had my neighbor’s home throughout the road, caught fireplace a few years in the past, and I believe I counted 10 fireplace departments that confirmed as much as this hearth.

Chris: Properly, and also you’re proper in regards to the EMT half, as a result of that includes lots of heavy lifting. I imply, you’ve bought to hold our bodies on stretchers downstairs.

That may be a main pressure on the, on the physique. The opposite factor, one in all our colleagues is stating yesterday. With the, the enlargement of the variety of electrical vehicles, you’re getting extra fires involving batteries, which have a lot of poisonous smoke and issues. [00:22:00] And so there’s much more publicity to attainable carcinogens.

It’s a harmful job and firefighters actually. The heroes of the group. Uh, it’s simply the stunning change that they’re having a tough time attracting them, you recognize, sending to at present in Ohio with faculty athletes now in a position to revenue from their names, pictures in likenesses. What’s the technique at Ohio state college to verify the Buckeyes stay aggressive and recruiting Laura, the title, picture, license, the NISL coaching.

As fully appended the entire faculty recruiting state of affairs, as a result of with gamers in a position to get cash that turns into a consider the place they wish to play, uh, Ohio. State’s attempting to, to deal with this. What are they doing?

Laura: Yeah, they’re actually attempting to be in the course of the pack right here, mainly. In response to Douglas, Maurice who attended a gathering.

Uh, this week the place they talked about it, they wish to spend about $13 million on mainly [00:23:00] compensating their athletes. That’s the worth tag that the soccer coach Ryan Day placed on it. And this was on the Covelli middle on campus, uh, to unveil an company ambassador program. They wish to encourage companies to rent OSU athletes by way of the athletic.

And Doug says that you possibly can break this down for an 85 man, uh, scholarship soccer crew at $150, $150,000 per participant, which does sound like so much. However the higher calculation is absolutely about $500,000 every for the 26 guys, you’ll be able to’t reside with out, as a result of there are going to be some gamers in some faculties that most likely.

Profit in any respect from this, as a result of they’re not the superstars, proper. Ohio state will not be immediately paying gamers, which it feels like different faculties are doing, regardless that it’s not allowed, they’re attempting to tie participant funds to their actions. They usually put forth a bunch of concepts that they might do, like model endorsements, autograph signings, establishing camps, making appearances and selling companies.

Chris: You’ve bought to suppose that the celebrity gamers, the quarterbacks and people [00:24:00] sorts of fellows that. A lot of cash. It’s that second tier that you simply wish to be certain it will get some cash as a result of there they might go, they’ll go elsewhere the place someone will assure them the cash and it modifications the entire sport.

It’s the entire, I, I believe it’ll take years for this to filter.

Laura: Yeah. Doug was saying, he thinks that the, the highest shelf quarterbacks are going to be about $2 million. After which I all cash, main offensive tackles and ed rushers could be about 1,000,000 {dollars} they usually put it when it comes to a pace restrict.

Like say there’s a forty five mile an hour pace restrict. Should you go too quick, you’re going to get pulled over. You’re going to get in bother. Should you go too gradual, you’re not going to compete. So Doug’s guessing they’re within the 53 to 57 mile per hour vary. So, so beating the pace restrict just a little bit, however. The man that simply whizzes by and scares you on the freeway.

Chris: Doug at all times has a great way of placing this into perspective. Take a look at his story on cleveland.com. You’re listening to at present in Ohio, which Ohio Congressman led the Republican opposition to the gun [00:25:00] invoice, that home Democrats act then on Thursday. Shock. Shock. I do know.

Leila: Proper? He’s he’s your favourite Congressman and mine?

Jim Jordan. He appears to be main the cost towards this democratic gun management measure that, uh, it’s meant to thwart mass shootings and. He’s claiming that they’re, they’re simply an try and hijack American’s proper. To bear arms Sabrina Eton reviews that the home judiciary committee has been discussing a invoice that may ban individuals underneath 21 from shopping for semi-automatic centerfire rifles.

Crack down on giant capability magazines and increase the Biden administration’s ban on bump, inventory units, and privately made ghost weapons that lacks serial numbers. And this invoice would additionally handle gun storage and set up a brand new federal firearms offense for gun trafficking and straw purchases. However Jim Jordan known as it quote extra, extra like political theater than an actual try at bettering public [00:26:00] security or discovering options.

I imply, what’s it, if not options that they’re suggesting right here, he famous that Democrats have the votes to go no matter they need in the home of representatives, however the laws into consideration received’t go within the Senate as a result of 10 GOP votes are at the moment wanted to go laws on high of the 50 democratic votes.

And he’s. This invoice wouldn’t cease the horrible occasions. It wouldn’t harden faculties, however it’s going to positive take away the rights of the American individuals who comply with the regulation. That’s what that is all about. It’s simply so incorrect, however it’s a part of the sample we’ve seen repeatedly, yeah, as a result of it’s, it’s my God given proper to personal bump, inventory units.

Proper. Weapons with out serial numbers and semiotic medic rifles, apparently, and, and no matter killing machine they devise subsequent. Apparently my proper as an American to have that’s extra sacred than your proper. To not be killed by it. Yeah. America,

Chris: the concept that he’s had doing a staunch protection of [00:27:00] assault weapons, I imply, this man out of wear and tear a darkish high hat and have a wax Tambo bar mustache, he’s the snidely whiplash of the Congress.

They’re attempting to have a legit dialogue. They’re not attempting to cease the second modification. They’re not attempting to cease individuals from having firearms, however what they’re attempting to do is to cease the weapons of mass killing when no one wants that you simply don’t want it to defend your self. You don’t want it to hunt.
