“Ohio’s Republican-controlled legislature voted Wednesday to limit Gov. Mike DeWine’s authority to issue public health orders in a state that has recorded more than 1 million coronavirus cases,” NBC News reports.
“By votes of 23-10 in the Senate and 62-35 in the House, lawmakers overturned DeWine’s earlier veto of a bill that will give them more power in rejecting the governor’s moves.”
