Editorial: Food safety needs stronger federal action
The piece argues Congress has failed to prevent foodborne illness despite a major outbreak in Oregon and Washington at Chipotle. It reviews the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act, its powers for recalls, inspections, and imports, plus gaps like domestic self-regulation and costly compliance. It calls for consolidating agencies and higher funding to cut costs and protect public health.

End license suspensions for non driving offenses in Ohio
Athens County Reentry Task Force urges SB 204 and HB 307 to end the six month mandatory license suspension for drug offenses not involving a vehicle. They argue state research shows suspensions fail to deter crime, harm employment, and push rural drivers toward unsafe choices, urging judges to retain discretion.
