Bills in session test Ohio lawmakers at Capitol
State Rep. Barry Levey says the current legislative session in Columbus is excruciating and unlikely to end by August 15. More than 2,000 bills dominate the agenda, including measures to abolish capital punishment and to legalize abortion under certain conditions. Reapportionment and garnishment law changes loom as major topics. Levey notes lawmakers are more responsive to district voters as federal overreach grows.
