Meshel pushes bill for clearer ballot issue ads in Ohio
Democratic Sen. Harry Meshel of Youngstown seeks changes to require prominent explainers for constitutional amendments. The measure would mandate at least 18 point headlines and 10 point body text with pro and con arguments, plus higher advertising rates and a black border for clarity. He notes many ads appeared buried in small print and criticizes current display standards.

Canal Fulton Chief Keeps Peace Amid First Bombing
Canal Fulton police chief Robert Zickefoose, 48, notes the town’s quiet life and low crime. He recalls the Sept. 20 pipe bomb attack on a Stark County Historical Society canal boat, calling it senseless and stressing the need for readiness despite the town’s usual calm. He works nights after 29 years at PPG Industries and raised five children with his wife since moving in 1955.
