COLUMBUS – Move over, "Pure Michigan." Ohio wants to prove it's the cool kid on the Midwestern block.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Monday that he wants to spend $50 million on a marketing campaign to convince East Coast and West Coast residents to live, work and spend their money in Ohio.
"We want to position Ohio as the place to be," DeWine said during a news conference unveiling his next state budget proposal. "Ohio is a welcoming place. I don't care who you are, we want you to come to Ohio. It's a progressive state."

"Well, not exactly. Ohio's GOP-controlled Legislature hasn't passed many progressive policies in years. Efforts like raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour or banning discrimination in employment and housing for LGBTQ Ohioans have failed to gain traction."

The Ohio Republican Party has passed, and maybe we can call it that. 
I'm not sure what DeWine means by progressive, but I'm skeptical that a state that wants Donald Trump Day a holiday will qualify. Not to mention our crazier by the day gun laws, stance against abortion (funerals for aborted fetuses is just so normal), and unwillingness to grant LGBTQ citizens full rights.
I told my daughter (who now lives in SF) what DeWine said, and she laughed out loud.
