The Ohio Capitol Journal reports:
Maskless and frustrated, a string of Ohioans offered tales Wednesday of their personal aggrievement since the coronavirus pandemic began. A woman told of her favorite gluten-free bake shop closing down in 2020, thus denying her access to “cheesy bread with the best freshly made marinara sauce I’ve ever tasted.” A seventh-grade student from Warren County complained about having to speak loudly during his school’s socially-distanced lunches.
Republican Sens. Rob McColley of Napoleon and Terry Johnson of McDermott first introduced Senate Bill 22 last week with a goal of allowing lawmakers to strike down state health orders. One by one, supporters of SB 22 gave pointed criticism of the governor and the Ohio Department of Health. They downplayed the deadliness of the virus and shared a string of falsehoods about its impacts. Almost none of those inside the crowded hearing room wore masks.

“Bullying has been sanctioned and codified.” That’s Mike DeWine’s Ohio. The state is the equivalent to one big hostile work environment, and it’s been fomented by the governor. It’s time to end this one-man rule. @OhioSenateGOP, vote YES on SB22! https://t.co/gAZEmtLvKb

CALL TO ACTION: Contact your state senator and tell them to support SB22! This bill gives the Ohio Senate more control over Mike DeWine’s unconstitutional ODH orders. Any member of the @OhioSenateGOP that does not support this is a traitor! https://t.co/kOTo9DvJiu

Pretty substantial maskless coalition here as Ohio House Rs vote down a mask requirement for members and staff in the chamber.

One woman, complained she could no longer buy “cheesy bread with the best freshly made marinara sauce I’ve ever tasted.” This is so soft and pathetic I can’t believe it.https://t.co/chYs8wlsW1
