Ohio election The Daily Briefing Buckeye Forum Podcast
The Dispatchpublic affairs team talks politics and tackles state and federal government issues in the Buckeye Forum podcast.
The Libertarian Party of Ohio asked Justice Clarence Thomas yesterday to delay a ruling by a federal appeals court in Cincinnati that upheld the removal of the partys candidates for governor and attorney general from the states primary ballot.
The party made the request in the U.S. Supreme Court a day after Justice Elena Kagan rejected its initial attempt to get a delay. The Libertarians hope Thomas will grant their appeal, a first step in having the high court hear the case before Tuesdays primary.
A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a ruling by a federal judge that the candidacy petitions of Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Charlie Earl and attorney general candidate Steven Linnabary were faulty.
Secretary of State Jon Husted made the original decision to remove them from the statewide ballot.
The decision could be a factor in the November election. If Earl is nominated and thus appears on the fall ballot, he could siphon votes from Republican Gov. John Kasich in his race against Democrat Ed FitzGerald.
Judges noted the involvement of both the state Democratic and Republican parties in the legal maneuvering to get Earl on the ballot because of the stakes.
The Libertarians also lost an earlier try to win a spot on the ballot via the Ohio Supreme Court.
TALLAHASSEE On some issues this year, Florida lawmakers channeled their inner libertarian.
They gave their blessing to higher speed limits, medical marijuana for kids and the firing of warning shots against perceived attackers.
On other issues, they ignored that voice.
Legislators killed measures that would have allowed whiskey to be sold near Wheaties, permitted teachers to pack heat on school grounds, and expanded gambling to the point blackjack tables would have bloomed like a thousand flowers.
It could be a symptom of the peculiar dynamic of an election-year legislative session, which ended Friday, forcing a kind of multiple political personality disorder.
The governors office, half the Senate and every state representative seat is up for grabs in November. Many incumbents will go home to their districts to trumpet what they accomplished.
Every year the Legislature makes changes that affect Floridians, for good or for bad, depending on your view.
This year, they tried making 1,900 changes the number of bills filed. Only the strong survived, or at least the ones with the strongest backers.
Here are several initiatives sure to be felt by people in the Tampa area. One thing to bear in mind: No bill passed by the Legislature becomes law until Gov. Rick Scott signs it.
Tax and fee cuts: Itll be cheaper to register your vehicle under legislation already approved by Scott.
