COLUMBUS, Ohio- Following prior approval by the Ohio Senate, the Ohio House on Thursday approved a bill that would block Gov Mike DeWine and state health officials from issuing curfew, quarantine and stay-at home orders in the future for Ohioans who have not been exposed to or diagnosed with the coronavirus, a measure the GOP governor has promised to veto. 

“This would be devastating," DeWine said. "This bill would make Ohio slow to respond to a crisis."

Senate Bill 311 also would enable lawmakers to rescind certain Ohio Department of Health orders or rules aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19, but not the governor's recent reissuing of the state's mask-wearing mandate and his curfew order that took effect today that imposes a curfew on residents from 10 pm-5 am for at least the next 21 days.

The Republican-sponsored legislation, which passed the House 58-30 and needs the governor's signature to become law, would provide checks and balances, lawmakers say, from orders or rules during the pandemic that might be unconstitutional or statutorily flawed and that trample on people's civil liberties and their livelihoods.  

Both the House and the Senate are controlled by Republicans. 

The latest bill follows an unrelated bill passed by the House on Wednesday that would permit businesses to stay open and hold regular business hours during the pandemic if business owners and operators follow safety protocols, legislation that DeWine has also promised to veto. 

If the controversial legislation designed to ease problems for business owners struggling to stay afloat during the pandemic escapes the governor's expected veto and is subsequently signed into law it would provide a reprieve as lawsuits seeking relief through the courts have virtually been ineffective. 

An effort by House Democrats for a rule change requiring lawmakers to wear masks at the Statehouse was blocked by Republican lawmakers this week.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
