CLEVELAND, Ohio — Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office is asking Ohio mayors to spread the word about its website on Issue 1, the proposed redistricting reform measure on the November ballot, using his misleading ballot language.
We’re talking about one Northeast Ohio mayor’s push back on what he calls a thinly veiled attempt to spread Republican propaganda on Today in Ohio.

Here’s what else we’re asking about today:
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose tried another tactic to get his lies about Issue 1 before voters, but one Northeast Ohio mayor refused to participate. Who saw through LaRose’s ruse?
It’s not unusual for a U.S. Senator involved in a presidential campaign to miss votes, but JD Vance has been a senator for less than two years. Does Ohio deserve more from him? How many votes has he missed?
Cleveland continues to be so meek and lame about closing Burke Lakefront Airport to turn it into a spectacular waterfront green space. Why can’t we learn from what Chicago did? Susan Glaser told that tale over the weekend, and it’s a great one?
Reporter Sean McDonnell was kicked out of the courtroom Friday when he tried to cover a pretrial hearing in the divorce of Congressman Max Miller – who is up for re-election in two weeks – and Emily Moreno Miller – daughter of the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate on the ballot in two weeks. Should the hearing have been open?
Most people know about all the lies Donald Trump and JD Vance told about the Haitian refugees in Springfield. The number of refugees has varied in the reporting, and we came across interesting challenges when we went digging for the actual number. Did we get it?
Courtney, you did a deep dive into that cryptic statement that the Browns owners released last week after Justin Bibb announced the team was leaving the city. What were your highlights?
In our latest county profile to preview this presidential election, Pete Krouse took us to Geauga County. It’s as red as many of the delicious apples they grow out there, isn’t it?
A long while back, we talked about a federal investigation into a former South Euclid Municipal Court judge, but then we never heard about it again. Until now. What’s the update?
Saturday night put Cleveland into an international spotlight, with the Rock Hall induction ceremony. Lisa, what were the biggest moments?
