republicans have a super-majority in both chambers of the ohio state legislature, i doubt the veto holds past 10 minutes into their next day of work.
Exactly. Now he can campaign on having vetoed this measure while the Republican legislature can push it through anyway.
Wow that's pretty progressive for a republican must not be a far right neocon
As an Ohio native, DeWine is FAR more progressive than most of the republican party. Not that that's saying much. During Covid he actually listened to his Director of the Department of Health: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Acton#COVID-19_pandemic
In 2020, prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, Acton advised Governor Mike DeWine, who became the first U.S. governor to close schools and limit gatherings to no more than 100 people, despite the fact that Ohio, at the time, had only three confirmed cases. Ohio was also the first state to temporarily close down bars and restaurants, when Ohio had fewer than 40 confirmed cases.
How long before the GOP remove him and replaces him with a nut job.

3 what days weeks?

Oh. Oh no.
You would think that but the dude just won reelection in November 2022.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ohio’s governor vetoed a bill Friday that would have restricted both transition-related care for minors and transgender girls’ participation on school sports teams.
Before vetoing the bill, DeWine told The Associated Press that he had visited three children’s hospitals in the state to learn more about transition-related care and spoke to families who were both helped and harmed by it.
State Rep. Gary Click, a Republican and the bill’s primary sponsor, said this month that minors are “incapable of providing the informed consent necessary to make those very risky and life-changing decisions” regarding their health care, according to WCMH-TV, an NBC affiliate in Columbus.
One of them, Dr. Christopher Bolling, a retired pediatrician who spoke on behalf of the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, told NBC News that the bill targets a very small number of adolescents.
“Across the country and across various sports, female athletes are losing not only titles and awards to males but also roster spots and opportunities to compete,” Gaines said.
However, in 2021, The Associated Press reached out to two dozen state lawmakers who supported restrictions on trans athletes and found that it has created a problem only a few times among the hundreds of thousands of American students playing sports.
The original article contains 771 words, the summary contains 209 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
So you get a republican that may be in a more moderate district to strategically vote in a way that preserves their seat, the strategy being that the majority will pass the bill that have safe seats or districts gerrymandered to support their vote. His vote is a throwaway.
He's the governor...
