CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A state appeals court ruled it’s up to Ohio drivers accused of violating the state’s new texting-while-driving law to prove at least one of the many exceptions to the law applies to their case.

Because of Mike DeWine’s leadership, we know that a Republican and a Democratic presidential candidate will be on the Ohio ballot in November, but is there a possibility we’ll see at least one other party represented? Should people heading to Sandusky Bay for the holiday be concerned by how green it is? Is all that green the blue-green algae that is so dangerous to people and pets?

All right, Laura, this is why the texting law was always going to be trouble.

I disagree with you here. I think I’m not saying that Biden is not fit to be president. He surrounded himself by with good people. He had a bad debate, but I think there are huge repercussions here.

And we had reports last year, Richmond Heights had a huge problem. Apparently there are several homes that are Airbnb rentals. They got a lot of complaints about disruptive parties last summer. Many of the people...

And these conditions with the extra phosphorus and nitrogen create, you know, a good environment for something called cyanobacteria. Now in the Western basin, this bacteria is called microcystis. And this really creates that harmful blue green toxin that’s harmful to humans and animals and has caused all the uproar in recent years. Right. But in Sandusky Bay in recent years, there’s been a few different kinds of cyanobacteria.
