COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Gov. Mike DeWine will deliver his State of the State address Wednesday afternoon.
In his annual speech, given from the House Chamber at the statehouse, DeWine is expected to reflect on the past year of governance while laying the groundwork for actions he hopes the legislature takes in the next few months.
Republican lawmakers hope DeWine focuses on workforce development and ways to boost Ohio's economy, while Democrats want the governor's support for policies that support working mothers -- and acknowledgment of what some describe as legislative dysfunction.
The State of the State will begin at noon and will be livestreamed in the video player above.
