WOSU’s Mike Thompson and the Columbus on the Record panel look at the rush of lawmaking in the Ohio legislature’s lame duck session. We also look at President Biden’s clemency for convicted former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora and more than 1,500 other people.
Then we discuss the possible changes to Ohio’s year-old law legalizing recreational marijuana, the latest in the process of picking a person to succeed U.S. Senator JD Vance after he assumes the role of Vice President and concerns of increasing politicization of the Ohio Supreme Court.
*This Week’s Panel:*
