    How I got busted spying on the mayor of Cincinnati (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Just recently, a group of subscribers to WVXU’s City Government 101 newsletter were taken on a tour of Cincinnati City Hall led by a pair of docents. It was organized by my friend and colleague, Becca Costello, our City Hall reporter, and host of the newsletter. I don’t know what was said or shown by the docents as I wasn't there, but I am reasonably certain that the fact that the press room drama was not covered. One obvious question would have been why the press is so far removed from the cent

    The major races and single issue to watch in Ohio this November (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Two years ago, Donald Trump won Ohio’s 17 electoral votes by a comfortable margin of 11 percentage points. Today, Trump’s approval rating is far under water. "While Donald Trump has won the state handily three times, we see a lot of trouble brewing for him and his policies in the state," Robert Alexander, professor of political science at Bowling Green State University, said following a recent poll by the university. "He has had a negative approval rating for a year now, and many of his policies

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Change is coming to the political landscape of Kentucky. Big change. Most notably, it will be the first time in four decades that Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell's name will not be on the ballot. The former GOP leader of the Senate announced in early 2025 that he would not seek reelection. McConnell, the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history, made the announcement on his 83rd birthday, on Feb. 20, 2025. The now 84-year-old has suffered a series of medical episodes in recent years,

    Analysis: Republicans worry data centers will cost Jon Husted his Senate seat (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Jon Husted, the longtime GOP officeholder in Ohio, is being called "the face of data centers in Ohio" by his opposition in the race for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat, and it has caught the attention of Republicans at the national level. In January 2025, when Republican Gov. Mike DeWine appointed Husted, his former lieutenant governor, to the vacant Senate seat of JD Vance, there wasn’t much talk about data centers. Now, though, people in Ohio political circles are talking about little else. And it has

    Analysis: Mayor Pureval responds to complaints of chronic absenteeism (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval, about one year into his second four-year term, says there are many Cincinnatians who have no idea what powers he has and what powers he doesn’t have. “The misunderstanding impacts people’s expectations for me every day I am in this job,” Pureval told WVXU. He’s not the weak mayor of 50 years ago who had no authority whatsoever except to bang the gavel at council meetings and try to cash in on whatever political capital he or she brought to the office. Nor is he th
