Proposed Ohio Bill Could Allow Statewide Officials to Carry Firearms in Courthouses and the Statehouse
Proposed Ohio bill may allow officials with concealed carry licenses to carry firearms in courthouses and the Statehouse.

Proposed Ohio Bill Could Allow Statewide Officials to Carry Firearms in Courthouses and the Statehouse

A new proposal in the Ohio legislature seeks to expand concealed carry rights for statewide elected officials, judges, and magistrates. If passed, the bill would permit these individuals to carry firearms inside courthouses and the Ohio Statehouse, provided they hold a valid concealed carry license.

Under current Ohio law, firearms are banned in government buildings for anyone who is not a law enforcement officer. Even individuals with concealed carry permits are restricted. Courts may grant limited permission to judges and magistrates, but no statewide rule exists.

Franklin County Sheriffโ€™s Office officials report no incidents in 2024 or 2025 involving attempts to bring firearms into county court buildings.

Where Firearms Are Prohibited in Ohio
State law prohibits weapons inside:

  • Government facilities
  • University campuses
  • Houses of worship (churches, synagogues, mosques)
  • Police stations and jails
  • Restaurants and bars with a Class D alcohol permit
  • Open-air arenas and concert venues with state-issued permits

Federal Firearms Restrictions
Federal law bars firearms from federal courthouses and government facilities, including the U.S. District Court in Columbus. Even law enforcement officers must check in their weapons with security. Knives and toy firearms are also prohibited.

Firearms and Air Travel
TSA guidelines state that firearms cannot be carried through security checkpoints or packed in carry-on bags. They must be transported unloaded, in a locked hard-sided case, and declared at check-in. Ammunition must also be in checked baggage.

Guns on School Property
Firearms and items resembling firearms are banned from school safety zones. However, Ohio law allows exceptions for school staff who complete at least 24 hours of safety, de-escalation, and firearms training. Ninety-seven out of 935 school districts statewide have authorized armed staff.

This legislation could spark debate on balancing public safety with Second Amendment rights in Ohio.

Columbus Settles Final 2020 Protester Lawsuit

Columbus Settles Final 2020 Protester Lawsuit
Columbus finalizes $125,000 settlement with 2020 protester, bringing total payouts to $6.7 million

Columbus Settles Final 2020 Protester Lawsuit

Columbus, Ohio – The City of Columbus has reached a final settlement in lawsuits connected to the 2020 racial justice protests. On September 29, Columbus City Council unanimously approved a $125,000 payout to Gaige Treadway of Licking County, marking the last civil rights lawsuit filed against the city over police actions during the demonstrations.

With this agreement, Columbus has now paid a total of $6.775 million to protesters since 2020, according to Councilmember Emmanuel Remy, chair of the Public Safety Committee.

Remy noted that the city has implemented changes in police policies to learn from past mistakes. โ€œThis is an important step forward,โ€ he said.

Treadway filed his lawsuit in 2022, alleging that during a May 30, 2020 protest, an officer attacked him from behind and ripped off his gas mask after he had neutralized a tear gas canister. He was briefly jailed and charged with assaulting an officer, but prosecutors dropped the charges after video evidence supported his account.

Attorney Sam Shamansky, representing Treadway, said the settlement was fair, pointing to video footage that contradicted the officerโ€™s claims. The officer involved has since retired.

While the city received over 800 complaints about police conduct during the protests, no officers were convicted. A few faced misdemeanor charges, but none resulted in guilty verdicts.

This settlement officially closes all civil rights lawsuits stemming from the 2020 protests in Columbus.

Federal Agents Disperse Protesters at Broadview ICE Facility During Operation Midway Blitz

Federal agents from ICE, Border Patrol, and the ATF used tear gas, pepper balls, and physical force to disperse protesters blocking access to the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, on September 27 and 28, 2025. The enforcement action took place as part of Operation Midway Blitz, a federal initiative targeting undocumented immigrants in the Chicago area.

Since mid-September, the operation has resulted in over 100 arrests. Protests against the facility began on September 22, with demonstrators demanding changes to immigration enforcement policies.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced federal charges against individuals involved in obstructing federal operations. Meanwhile, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker criticized the tactics, calling them unlawful and un-American, and emphasized the need for lawful and humane treatment of protesters.

Two Men Killed in Fiery SUV Crash in Madison Township Identified

The Franklin County Sheriffโ€™s Office has officially identified the two men who tragically died in a fiery SUV crash in Madison Township, Ohio, on September 22. The victims, 27-year-old Elhadji Amadou Sow and 30-year-old Abdoulaye Ly, were both residents of Columbus.

Sow and Ly were traveling north on Green Pointe Drive South in a 2004 Honda CR-V when their vehicle struck the rear of a stationary 2000 Freightliner tractor-trailer. The trailer had stopped to enter a warehouse driveway. Emergency crews had to extricate both men from the SUV, but unfortunately, they were pronounced dead at the scene around 3:30 p.m.

Investigators reported that Sow, who was driving, was traveling at a high rate of speed when the crash occurred. The exact speed is still under investigation, though the posted speed limit on Green Pointe Drive South is 35 mph. The tractor-trailer driver was unharmed. The Franklin County Sheriffโ€™s Office Accident Investigation Unit continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.

Shawnee Hills Loses $54K in Paving Payment Scam, Ohio Auditor Issues Recovery Order

Shawnee Hills Loses $54K in Paving Payment Scam, Ohio Auditor Issues Recovery Order
Shawnee Hills in Delaware County, Ohio, faces a $54,000 recovery order after a paving project payment was diverted in a scam.

Shawnee Hills Loses $54K in Paving Payment Scam, Ohio Auditor Issues Recovery Order

Shawnee Hills, a small village in Delaware County, Ohio, with fewer than 1,000 residents, became the victim of a payment scam involving a local road project. The village was supposed to pay more than $54,000 to Strawser Paving Company in Columbus for a 2024 asphalt repair project.

Instead, the funds were mistakenly wired to a woman in California after the villageโ€™s fiscal officer, Shirley Roskoski, received fraudulent banking details via email. The Ohio Auditor of Stateโ€™s office investigated the matter and released an audit report on September 25, 2024, identifying a finding for recovery of $54,388.20. According to the report, Roskoski, the California recipient, and Roskoskiโ€™s bonding company are โ€œjointly and severally liableโ€ for the misdirected funds.

The audit noted that Shawnee Hills officials did not respond before the reportโ€™s release. Roskoski declined to comment when approached by media on September 26.

Clay Strawser, vice president of Strawser Paving Company, confirmed that the village eventually paid the company for its work, which included minor asphalt road repairs. He also mentioned that fraud attempts like this happen several times a year, with scammers posing as legitimate contractors to divert payments.

The Shawnee Hills Village Council had approved the paving project contract with Strawser Paving Company on September 9, 2024. The following day, Roskoski received an email request for electronic payment information, which she believed to be legitimate. On October 16, she authorized the transfer to the fraudulent California account.

The state auditorโ€™s report advised stricter safeguards, urging fiscal officers to confirm vendor bank account details directly with verified employees before making any electronic payments.

Centrus Energy Expansion to Create 300 Jobs in Pike County, Ohio

Centrus Energy Expansion to Create 300 Jobs in Pike County, Ohio
Centrus Energy expansion in Pike County to create 300 jobs and strengthen U.S. nuclear energy leadership.

Centrus Energy Expansion to Create 300 Jobs in Pike County, Ohio

Pike County, Ohio โ€“ Centrus Energy has announced a $1.58 billion expansion project at the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, marking one of the largest clean energy investments in the regionโ€™s history. The development is expected to create 300 permanent jobs and employ nearly 1,000 construction workers at its peak.

The expansion will boost Centrus Energyโ€™s uranium enrichment capacity to support the growing demand for nuclear fuel in the U.S., reducing dependence on imports from Russia and China. With Americaโ€™s energy needs driven by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and data centers, the project positions Ohio as a national leader in nuclear energy production.

A Historic Investment in Ohioโ€™s Energy Future

Governor Mike DeWine praised the project, emphasizing its role in strengthening Ohioโ€™s economy and workforce:

โ€œThis is great news for Ohio. Centrus is expanding right here in Piketon. At least 299 new jobs will be created, alongside retaining 127 existing ones.โ€

The Piketon site once powered U.S. nuclear weapons and later commercial reactors until its closure in the early 2000s. Cleanup and redevelopment have been ongoing, with new plans including hydrogen power plants and nuclear reactors.

High-Wage Jobs and Economic Growth

Centrus Energy will partner with JobsOhio to hire for a range of roles, including engineers, operators, electricians, and accountants. These positions will offer an average wage of $50 per hour, generating more than $31 million in payroll for the state annually.

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted highlighted the projectโ€™s significance for both energy independence and national security:

โ€œOur adversaries on the battlefield are our uranium suppliers today. This project changes that. If America wants zero-carbon energy to power AI and beyond, nuclear is the way forward.โ€

Boosting U.S. Nuclear Leadership

Using advanced centrifuge technology manufactured in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Centrus will produce high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU), essential for the next generation of nuclear reactors. The company also plans to supply low-enriched uranium for nearly all of the 94 nuclear reactors currently operating in the United States.

With a nationwide supply chain spanning 13 states, the expansion will not only impact Pike County but also bring growth opportunities to surrounding areas like Chillicothe, Portsmouth, and Waverly.

Gary Arnett, Pike Countyโ€™s economic development director, noted:

โ€œThis expansion will be a shot in the arm for Pike County and every county touching it.โ€


Teamsters and Firefighters Unions Urge Columbus and Other Cities to Boycott Sutphen Corp

โ€œUnions demand boycott of Sutphen Corp. as Columbus cancels $2.5M fire truck contract.

Teamsters and Firefighters Unions Urge Columbus and Other Cities to Boycott Sutphen Corp.

Two powerful labor unions are calling on North American cities, including Columbus, to boycott Dublin-based fire truck manufacturer Sutphen Corp. as a worker strike extends beyond four months.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 284, representing 85 Sutphen workers on strike, and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) are urging city governments to cancel fire truck and fire safety equipment orders until the company reaches a fair labor agreement.

In July, the Columbus City Council voted to cancel a $2.5 million Sutphen ladder truck contract, citing the ongoing labor dispute. The council then approved a replacement contract with Pierce Manufacturing.

According to Teamsters Local 284 President Mark Vandak, Sutphen has violated federal labor laws and used โ€œunion bustersโ€ to resist fair bargaining. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has already found merit in several bad-faith bargaining charges against the company.

While Sutphen maintains it is negotiating in good faith and continues to produce โ€œthe safest fire apparatus in the world,โ€ union leaders argue the companyโ€™s tactics have harmed its reputation.

Columbus firefighters say the strike is worsening an already critical issue: the cityโ€™s aging fleet of fire trucks. Local 67 IAFF President Steven Stein stressed the urgency of securing new trucks, whether from Sutphen or another reliable manufacturer, to ensure public safety.

Both Teamsters President Sean Oโ€™Brien and IAFF President Ed Kelly have pledged their support for the boycott until Sutphen reaches a fair labor agreement with its workers.
