Nungesser /news/government-politics/2021-03-24/ohio-health-officials-speak-out-as-lawmakers-prepare-to-override-veto Public health experts are speaking out against the bill that would allow state lawmakers to overturn a governor’s health and emergency orders , and would restrict those orders at the local level too. Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed that bill yesterday, but legislators are set to override it today.

Mike DeWine says on Tuesday he’ll veto a bill that takes away authority from the governor and health departments, and gives more power to lawmakers who passed the measure.
