Controversy Over Ohio Redistricting Complains Senate Pick
The Ohio General Assembly remains stalemated on redistricting, state employee pay, and locomotive crew rules. Senators secretly backed Kenneth Berry for the Leedy seat, drawing criticism from county Republicans including John Andrews and Ashland deputy registrar Thomas Van Meter. Berry, a former House member, is 28 and previously served in both chambers.
Van Meter to Run for Seat in May Primary Amid GOP Disputes
Van Meter announced at a late night news conference that he will seek the May primary seat. County GOP leaders plan to file complaints with state headquarters at Thursday’s meeting. He recalled past run ins with John Andrews as Ashland County GOP fund cuts were used to press party positions. The redistricting bill stalled again, failing by one vote on the Senate floor after amendments, and would affect 16 Republican and seven Democratic incumbents. Ohio would lose a congressional seat, with districts of McCullough and Betts merged as Betts nears retirement. The Legislature plans to reconvene March 8 to name a conference committee on the full crew law repeal, with train length provisions updated.

Desegregation Barriers Shift Across Regions
Government figures show Southern states now have fewer black students in all black schools than the North for the first time, with gaps widening in black students in predominantly white schools. Integration has nearly halted in the North and West, border states, and D.C., while some border states show a rise in totally segregated schools, a notable but small reversal.
