Under Mike Dewine for 2023:
Let's not forget he was one of the first governors to act quickly during COVID (cancelled The Arnold). Just a reminder.
Talk about ending the year on a high note!
He isn't responsible for 2 and 3. Those were ballot initiatives passed by the citizens. 3 was just legalizing marijuana, not a constitutional amendment. And the gop controlled senate is already ratfucking the law with DeWine's full support.
But I get your point.
I really did respect his response to covid. The fact that he actually had qualified, smart people advising him, and that he actually listened to them... was very out of character for a modern republican governor (although I still believe they did Dr Acton dirty).
His reasons for vetoing this bill show that he still has the ability to be pragmaticaly principled. It sucks that he kissed Trumps ring, but if that's what he had to do to avoid getting primaried and replaced by a true maga believer, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If have to have a Republican governor, I'd prefer to have one who isn't a complete fruitcake.

I completely agree with you and I even phrased it as "under [his term]" vs "ushered by". Thank you for the correction on point 3. Here's hoping going into the future laws and initiatives follow the will of the people instead of the usual Republican [read: meme] handbook we are accustomed too.
I'm honestly thinking there will be too many "home gardens" by the time the Republicans get to neutering the recent initiative. I'm guessing it will be a very similar situation to the Great Prohibition if they do it get it.
Yeah, no. He was adamantly against 2 and 3 and even ran reefer madness ads. After legalization Republicans tried to neuter the bill as much as possible and even remove home grow and making it illegal to even share weed. We got 2 and 3 from voter initiatives and essentially needed to pass a vote twice in order to get 2. Once to reject Republican initiatives to make it basically impossible to amend the constitution and then to pass the actual amendment.
