Black Calls Kettle...Black

3:04pm Monday, November 04, 2002
Last week, we reported that an Ohio Court of Appeals panel was reviewing a complaint filed against Maureen O'Connor by her opponent Tim Black. A three-judge hearing panel, two Democrats and one Republican, recommended that the Court of Appeals order the ad’s immediate removal from the air and consider levying a fine or other sanction against her. Lt. Gov. O’Connor said she plans to appeal the...

Bring out the Vote! Pro-CCW Majority in Legislature under fire

7:54am Monday, November 04, 2002
Republicans have been telling Ohioans for Concealed Carry for over a year that their pro-CCW majorities in both Ohio legislative bodies are at risk. And it all comes down to this - in 24 hours, Ohioans will have the opportunity to ensure the pro-CCW, veto-proof majority remains or is strengthened, or to weaken the chances to have Concealed Carry Reform passed any time soon. A look at one urban...

Too Close to Call: Stratton vs. Burnside

7:26am Monday, November 04, 2002
A Democrat's challenge to unseat incumbent Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton has been intense, even though many voters admit they know little about the race. Backed by unions and trial lawyers, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Janet R. Burnside has given Stratton a run for her campaign money. According to a poll of likely voters conducted by the Columbus Dispatch, the contentious...

Onslaught of anti-Stratton TV ads gets even uglier

11:38am Friday, November 01, 2002
Apparently undeterred by the Ohio State Bar Association's strong condemnation of two anti-Stratton ads, and two days after Burnside denounced the ads under pressure, supporters of Janet Burnside have struck out yet again. The latest cries of outrage came yesterday about an ad called "Miscarriage of Justice,'' which accuses Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton of protecting big drug companies instead...

Why We Fight: Supremes protect life of cop-killer, but not law-abiding Ohioans

1:04pm Wednesday, October 30, 2002
The following is a stunning Election-eve display of just how important the election of Evelyn Stratton and Maureen O'Connor to the high court truly is: The Ohio Supreme Court has just thrown out the death sentence of a Zanesville man who was convicted of killing a sheriff’s deputy on a technicality. Voting 4-3 Wednesday, the court vacated the sentence of Tony Gross, who was convicted of...

Maureen O'Connor Shines in Debate against Black

12:38pm Wednesday, October 30, 2002
Current Lt. Gov. Maureen O'Connor and Democrat Tim Black, candidates for Ohio Supreme Court, were entertaining last night as they sparred on a live statewide television forum. O'Connor, who has been well ahead in most public-opinion polls, appeared confident while Black's responses were often dry, almost robotic. He exhaustively repeated the fact that he has served nine years as a judge, while at...

Under pressure, Burnside denounces anti-Stratton ads in debate

12:02pm Wednesday, October 30, 2002
After weeks of refusing to disassociate herself from a supporting PAC's negative ads against her opponent, Evelyn Stratton, the liberal Janet Burnside finally bent. Under mounting pressure from major media, after official condemnation from the Ohio State Bar Association, and with slipping poll numbers, Burnside denounced the ads Tuesday evening in a statewide televised debate. "The people who...

Hagan smelling trouble with labor on the gun issue?

5:44pm Tuesday, October 29, 2002
Less than two weeks ago, while discussing what he could have done better in his first debate with Governor Taft, Tim Hagan told the Columbus Dispatch he thinks Ohio's existing affirmative defense law is good enough for those wishing to carry concealed. "I should have been clear in saying I don't think everyone in Ohio should have access to a gun,'' Hagan said, reiterating that he opposes the...
