Contested Ohio Ballot Tests Minimum Wage and Tax Vote
The Columbus Dispatch reports two ballot measures testing Ohio voters in November. Ohioans for Raising the Wage pursues a constitutional amendment to lift the minimum wage from 8.70 to 13 by 2025, needing 422,958 valid signatures by July 1. GOP lawmakers push a three-fifths legislative threshold to raise state income taxes, already secured by supermajorities in both houses. If both advance, voters face a classic debate on fair economy, with progressives highlighting poverty gaps and wage stagnation, while conservatives stress tax competitiveness and reduced tax burdens. The article notes historical context from 1983 and 2006 elections and cites Policy Matters Ohio on executive pay ratios.

Trump peace plan not a real solution for Israel-Palestine
Trudy Rubin argues President Trump’s deal of the century is election driven, preserves Israeli control of the West Bank and Gaza, and offers a weak two homeland concept. She notes Gaza linkage, Jerusalem status quo, and a plan reliant on Saudi mediation and Kushner’s assumptions, predicting a failing path toward a lasting settlement.

Bolton’s Stop the Count remark fuels book hype
Jonah Goldberg reviews John Bolton’s forthcoming memoir and its implications for Trump era impeachment. Bolton’s claims about Ukraine aid, testimony risks, and internal disagreements frame a broader retelling of a polarised presidency. He argues Bolton may testify but questions credibility, while contrasting with Kavanaugh era tactics.
