Data gathering puts Portman, Strickland campaigns very in touch ...
WASHINGTON — You may not know much about Rob Portman or Ted Strickland yet, but chances are, their campaigns know about you. Thanks to increasingly sophisticated methods of using data to categorize and target voters, their campaigns are having incredibly specific conversations with voters. Campaigning is, after all, a courtship, and each campaign aims to be something close to the online dating site eharmony.com. They want to know as much as possible to ensure that they are compatible with covet..>> view originalOhio officials let company profit from subleasing state-owned radio ...
State officials are forfeiting hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by allowing a contractor to lease state property to another company and keep the money. But, they say, that was the price to be paid to comply with federal tax laws while also expanding internet connectivity to rural areas, particularly in southeastern Ohio. Agile Networks, which was paid about $2.2 million by the state last fiscal year to provide the statewide wireless network that carries the voice and computer traffic o..>> view originalBillion-dollar blockbuster 'Wicked' about to start fourth run in Columbus
This year, before the start of its fourth run in Columbus, the revisionist fable “Wicked” reached an unprecedented milestone — as the only new 21st-century musical to join the Broadway billion-dollar club. As of March, the show about the witches of Oz hit $1 billion in cumulative Broadway ticket sales. Such a standard has been achieved by just two other productions: “The Lion King” and “The Phantom of the Opera,” which “Wicked” is set to surpass in the fall. Moreover, “Wicked” — which made its ..>> view originalRecycling center fire smolders as neighbors worry
A day after a massive fire swept through a recycling center on the South Side, neighbors said they are worried and upset. This is the second major industrial fire along that road in as many years and one of several in the area recently. Jim Griffin, chairman of the Columbus Southside Area Commission, said on Saturday that he isn't sure yet what the community's response will be to the four-alarm blaze that gobbled up 3-4 acres of recyclables at the WestRock Recycling Center at 1015 Marion Road...>> view original'Wal-Mart moms' in Ohio not thrilled about Clinton, Trump
The 10 women on the other side of the one-way mirror looked at Robert Blizzard like he’d just set off a stink bomb. In a way, he had. Blizzard asked those Columbus-area “Wal-Mart moms” for a brief description of how they feel about the 2016 presidential campaign. The words poured out quickly: Worried. Frustrated. Messy. Divided. Ridiculous. Disrespectful. Circus show. And the candidates? “I’m not sure either one is 100 percent qualified,” Donna said. Gidget chimed in, “I feel like no matter whi..>> view originalFoundations support various health initiatives
Rick Vincent started his career running hospitals to improve health and quality of life in central Ohio. Then, the private foundation he heads realized it no longer needed to operate health care institutions to meet its mission. Since selling Doctors Hospitals in Columbus and Nelsonville to OhioHealth for $142 million in 1998, the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations’ efforts have helped to increase the number of graduates from the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine at Ohio University as well..>> view originalCapitol Insider: Trump backlash turns off Ohio rep
If Donald Trump’s team had only asked, instead demanded. Then, state Rep. Niraj Antani says, he gladly would have taken down a tweet that offended the Trump campaign. Instead, the Trump campaign tried to “strong-arm” him into taking down his electronic missive that said: “FWIW, knocking doors in most affluent part of my GOP heavy district, and not one of them has been happy with Trump. All pro @JohnKasich” Antani, 25, is a frequent tweeter and said he was merely sharing what he had found — not..>> view originalClinton has lots of Latino support, Columbus festival shows
Less than four months before the presidential election, Hispanic voters are lining up in droves behind Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. A poll released last week by Fox News showed Clinton held a commanding 46-point lead over Republican Donald Trump. The survey found 66 percent of registered Latino voters said they would vote for Clinton, while 20 percent said they supported Trump. The gap had widened since May, when Trump trailed Clinton by 39 points. Interviews with Hispanic v..>> view originalTheodore Decker commentary: Speeding ticket for banned driver ...
The last of Ed Anthony’s patience evaporated when he learned about the speeding ticket. He waited five months for an indictment in connection with the death of his 22-year-old granddaughter, Joslin Winborn, and 13 more months and counting for a trial that seems no closer than it did last summer. Then, a few weeks ago, his stepdaughter and Joslin’s mother, Amber Davis, discovered while checking online court records that the woman charged with killing Winborn and a second woman in a 2015 crash on..>> view originalMade Here: Etna business has been crushing material for 50 years
If you have a big chunk of earth — or some other material — and you want to turn it into a mound of smaller pieces, chances are Screen Machine Industries has just what you need. The Etna company, in its 50th year, manufacturers earth-crushing, screening and stockpiling machines — ones that break down slabs of rock, concrete or minerals, and then crumble it into fine pieces.
