To those not following along, the reason it matters what DeWine says is he holds the veto pen. If he rejects this, Matt Huffman has to find a day when 60 of his troops can come back to Columbus in the middle of October when they're fighting for their lives in 10+ swing districts
At Kroger, Gov. Mike DeWine talked to me about the GOP’s gas tax suspension proposal, taking money from ODOT. “Very, very bad idea.” I asked if he thought they were banking on him vetoing it, but he didn’t want to get into that… More soon. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal

Also it means Vivek taking a victory lap over Amy for having a workable plan was hilariously premature.

it's so over
Update on Ohio governor’s race: independent and very long shot candidate Tim Grady, a 28 yr old master’s student at Ohio State, has sent out an email that says “due to the high price of gasoline, the Grady for Governor campaign is suspending in-person campaigning.”

this really isn't what the article says at all, it says that unions still know he's in their corner, and he hasn't called for a construction moratorium but nice headline i guess
NEW: @SherrodBrown's labor allies have a bone to pick with him. Brown launched an all-out assault on data centers in Ohio. It's testing longtime relationships he built with unions, who've seen demand for their work explode thanks to the data center boom politico.com/news/2026/09/25…

To anyone counting I think this makes 4 Ramaswamy policy ideas that DeWine has slapped down
Per his spox, Gov. Mike DeWine said funding a gas tax suspension with ODOT cash balance was a "very, very bad idea." (ODOT has $1.6B in its highway operating fund, but it's all spoken for.) DeWine is waiting to see bill language on a gas tax holiday before deciding what to do.

I am ready to stand up for Ohio's working men and women by enforcing our prevailing-wage laws, ensuring proper worker classification, and upholding fair and responsible bidding standards. For too long, we have gone without. Not anymore.

One great reason to donate to Sherrod Brown is that he’s running in a special election and should be sworn in in November.
Sure hope that Senate Rs are making plans to confirm all remaining judicial nominees during post-election lame-duck period. The prospect that Dems will win control of the Senate (something I have been warning about for a long time) seems increasingly likely. It might not happen, but best to be prepared if it does.

Update your story. There's no ODOT money to pay for it.

In Ohio, a portion of gas tax collections goes directly out the door to fund city, county, & township roadwork projects. Cutting the tax freezes those monthly payouts.
The Ohio Township Association: "strongly asks lawmakers to ensure that townships and local governments are held harmless. The result should not be fewer resources to maintain the roads and bridges Ohioans rely on."
