News OHIO TO GET ABOUT $2 BILLION IN FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING: CAPITOL LETTER * Published: Oct. 13, 2022, 8:00 a.m. Traffic heads into downtown Cleveland on Interstate 77 in a 2011 file photo. The Ohio Department of Transportation will decide how to spend about $2 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. (Lynn Ischay/The Plain Dealer)The Plain Dealer Signed-in readers now can bookmark stories to read later. NEW! By * Jeremy Pelzer, cleveland.com ROTUNDA RUMBLINGS Under construction: Ohio will get nearly $2 billion in money from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for projects to improve Ohio’s bridges, roads, tunnels and other surface infrastructure, Ohio members of Congress announced on Wednesday. Ohio’s money is part of $59.9 billion in funding that’s being released across the nation in the second year of funding under the infrastructure bill, Sabrina Eaton reports. Reaching an accord: State officials are preparing to offer Honda more than $156 million in financial incentives for the carmaker’s $4.2 billion proposal to build a new Fayette County factory – and retool its three existing Ohio facilities – to make electric-vehicle parts. As Jeremy Pelzer reports, JobsOhio is also planning to offer financial assistance, though it’s not clear yet what the state’s economic-development nonprofit will offer Honda. Abortion appeal: Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on Wednesday said his office would file an appeal to a Hamilton County Commons Pleas Court judge’s order setting aside Ohio’s “heartbeat” abortion ban while the legal challenge over the law’s constitutionality is decided, Andrew Tobias reports. Last week, Judge Christian Jenkins granted abortion providers’ request for a preliminary injunction to stop enforcement of the law, rolling Ohio back to a 22-week ban that was in place before the bill banning abortion once fetal cardiac activity is detected, usually at around six weeks, took effect last summer. Congressional challenge: U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown, a Warrensville Heights Democrat, says voters should reelect her because she’s been working with the Biden administration to deliver on campaign promises that will deliver lower costs for Americans and build safer communities. Her Republican challenger, former East Cleveland Mayor Eric Brewer told Eaton he’s heard “nothing but complaints about the lack of professionalism, unresponsiveness and cluelessness of Brown and her congressional office staff,” and his life experiences better qualify him to represent the 11th congressional district. Early to rise: As early voting for the general election kicked off in Ohio on Wednesday, Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced that 812,200 Ohioans have asked for absentee ballot applications – a 4.4% increase compared to the 2018 campaign season. The counties that saw the largest jump in absentee ballot requests were Summit (6,631 more than in 2018), Trumbull (+3,836), and Delaware (+3,613) counties. Cuyahoga County, by contrast, received 9,016 fewer applications than it did four years ago – by far the biggest decrease in the state. Even so, the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections projects that 60% of registered voters will participate in this year’s election, compared to 55% in 2018 and 40% in 2014, Molly Walsh reports. Spending down: Even though he’s not seeking reelection, Holmes County GOP U.S. Rep. Bob Gibbs’ campaign account managed to spend more than $100,000 during the year’s third quarter, according to a report filed Wednesday at the Federal Election Commission. His largest expense was a $50,000 donation to the Ohio Republican Party. He also donated more than $10,000 to the Holmes County Agriculture Society and gave $5,000 donations to each of the Republicans running for Ohio Supreme Court. Gibbs reimbursed himself for more than $10,000 in expenses, the report shows. Contest applicants: Look Ahead America, “a conservative group founded by a man who attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, will challenge voter registrations and absentee ballots in Ohio and eight other states, raising concerns among election officials and voter advocates,” writes Lynn Hulsey of the Dayton Daily News. The group announced it plans to identify illegitimate voters to remove from voting rolls, as well as use local activist groups for research and to contest “potentially illegal ballots.” Let’s talk politics: The politics team at cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer is following the biggest stories of the 2022 election and how they affect us all.

FULL DISCLOSURE Five things we learned from the April 18, 2022, financial disclosure form filed by Maureen O’Connor, the Republican chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court who’s retiring after this year: 1. O’Connor rents out three properties in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood. 2. Besides O’Connor’s $198,975 salary in 2021 for serving as chief justice, she reported receiving income from rental dues and bank account interest. She also listed expenses paid by the court on her behalf, including bar dues, the Ohio Judicial Conference’s membership fee, and a registration charge for the National Center for State Courts. 3. At some point last year, O’Connor owed at least $1,000 to Visa, Chase Bank, Firstmark Services, US Bank, and First Federal of Lakewood. 4. Her investments include an Ohio Public Employee Retirement System account and a State of Ohio deferred compensation account. 5. O’Connor’s travel expenses in 2021 totaled $4,763.86. Her travel included attending the Conference of Chief Justices’ annual meeting in Williamsburg, Va.; a National Judicial College course, the National Center for State Courts’ annual conference; and the Ohio Judicial Conference’s yearly meeting. BIRTHDAYS Chris Zeigler, API-Ohio executive director STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE “We pay $2.3 million each year in rent for this location, and so part of what we’re doing is having very early discussions about how we may be able to save costs there.” - Stephanie Siddens, the interim state superintendent of public instruction, telling the State Board of Education that Ohio Department of Education officials are discussing reducing its office space in downtown Columbus as department employees continue to spend part of their work week at home. Gongwer reported Siddens’ comments, which were made Tuesday.
