^ Welcome $ News $ Momentum, Medicaid, monsters and miles with a meaning

On this week’s Ohio Statehouse Scoop, Host Jo Ingles reports on what Democrats are doing to gain momentum in areas where they’ve been underperforming, on Medicaid fraud allegations and what’s being done about it, and on the mythical Loveland monster, Frogman, that some lawmakers say needs to be designated as the state’s official cryptid. Ohio Public Media’s Karen Kasler joins Jo to talk about Gov. DeWine’s choice to replace outgoing Attorney General Dave Yost and the latest on that lawsuit over state-funded vouchers for private schools. And we’ll tell you why one Ohio lawmaker is making a 107-mile trek from Dayton to Columbus on the day this podcast drops. It’s all this week in the Ohio Statehouse Scoop.
