One of the most American news stories I've seen.

Coming from Columbus, I understand the desire. The rivalry runs pretty deep, with riots causing significant property damage every few years. However, this particular proposal is just more political grandstanding.

It does not have time to pass during the current session, meaning it would need to be reintroduced in the next one. But even if it did pass, I really doubt that it would withstand a court challenge. It seems like a pretty clear violation of free speech, and designed for that purpose.

Ohio, everything is perfect here.
