Ohio Has Issues
Ohio Supreme Court will hear gun rights case, Ohioans fight for unpaid federal unemployment money
The Ohio Supreme Court is on the ballot this November, just as the court has agreed to hear a case involving gun rights.
On the October 9 edition of Ohio Has Issues with Stephanie Haney and Mike Polk Jr., Cleveland.com's Jake Zuckerman returns to break down a case that will come before Ohio's highest court. It's about whether it's permissible to outlaw guns in establishments that serve alcohol, and it's based on a case where one person got shot in the neck.
Plus, attorney Marc Dann of the Dann Law firm explains why he's pursuing a case against the state and Governor Mike DeWine to try to recover $960 million for 320,000 Ohioans who were out of work between July 2021 and September 2021.
We share the latest polling when it comes to Ohio's Senate race between Sen. Sherrod Brown and challenger Bernie Moreno, a few interesting facts about Ohio's races for the 7th and 11th congressional districts, and how Vice Presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz are making news with their recent comments about abortion and the electoral college.
And we update you on the law that was passed during Ohio's special General Assembly session this summer and what it means for green card holders in the state.
