Start getting the latest politics news from The Dispatch's 'The Scoop' newsletter
Greetings from your friendly neighborhood political reporter, Haley BeMiller:
It's no secret that Columbus is a politics town.
That's why our team of five reporters hustles every day to bring you the latest news on Ohio government, whether it's a bill on arming teachers in classrooms or developments in the unending redistricting saga. We're also committed in-depth reporting on key issues that you can't find anywhere else.
Our goal is to ensure you have the information you need at the ballot box, but we know politics can be difficult (and annoying) to follow. That's where The Scoop comes in.
We're launching this subscriber-only newsletter to bring you up to speed on political news in Ohio. Every Wednesday, we'll deliver the latest stories right to your inbox, along with news and analysis reserved exclusively for subscribers. We want this to be an easy, digestible way for you to stay in the know about decisions that affect your lives.
You can sign up for The Scoop here. We want this to be useful to you, so feel free to reach out at hbemiller@dispatch.com if you have any suggestions.

Now, onto your regularly scheduled programming: the week's top headlines from The Dispatch including the biggie: What the rolling back of nearly 50 years of protections for those seeking abortions will mean for Ohioans with the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. Our team of local and statewide reporters also got reactions on all sides of the issue, examined when the state will enact a ban on abortions and delved into the potential ripple effects down the road for cases dealing with same-sex marriage and contraception, including one bearing the name of an Ohio gay rights advocate.
On other topics, we also brought you:
It's "THE" Ohio State University, or at least it is when it comes to merchandise and clothing sales, writes news reporter Aaron Skubby with the school officially having registered a trademark for the most common word in the English language after a three-year fight to do so.
Looking for a home with 16 bedrooms and 28 bathrooms? This Scioto River estate, being marketed as "resort-style living" might fit the bill and it only costs a cool $8 million, discovered business reporter Jim Weiker.
After eight years leading Youngstown State University, former national championship-winning Ohio State coach Jim Tressel announced Wednesday night that he's retiring in early 2023, sports reporter Joey Kaufman writes.
Ohio's U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan discussed pardons but never asked for one, according to testimony shared Thursday by the House committee investigating the Capitol insurrection, reported by yours truly.
Thank you, as always, for supporting local journalism.
