Isn't Ohio a red state? So if the majority voted for abortion rights, does that make them hypocrites?

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Ohio's minimum wage is scheduled to increase to $10.45 for most workers in the new year.

Non-tipped employees will see their hourly wages rise from $10.10 starting on Jan. 1.

That's an increase of approximately 3.5 percent. Ohio voters in 2006 passed a constitutional amendment requiring the state's minimum wage to increase on Jan. 1 each year to match the inflation rate, according to the Ohio Department of Commerce's website.

Those who do earn tips will see their minimum hourly wages increase from $5.05 to $5.25, an increase of almost 4 percent.


The minimum wage is $7.25 for some small businesses, as well as for some workers ages 14 and 15. Click here for more details on that exception.

Washington, D.C., currently offers the highest minimum hourly wage at $17, while Califonia's is second at $15.50. Numerous states tie for the lowest wage of $7.25 per hour, which is the federal minimum, including Ohio's neighbors Indiana, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

They're rotten to the core. There is no way DeWine didn't know about these people. I'd like to see the US DOJ investigate and issue a report on the extent everyone in the OH GOP was involved. They stole hundreds of millions from ohio utility customers.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A former top utility regulator awaiting trial on charges he took millions in bribes in conjunction with the largest corruption scandal in Ohio’s history died by suicide on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Franklin County Coroner’s Office said.

Sam Randazzo, 74, the one-time chair of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, faced the prospect of spending the rest of his life in prison if convicted of the dozens of criminal charges he faced in simultaneous federal and state investigations. He had pleaded not guilty to all of them, most notably the allegation that he accepted a $4.3 million bribe from Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. in exchange for regulatory favors.
