Ohio sets date for redistricting
commission meeting
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The ﬁrst meeting to
redraw Ohio’s congressional and legislative districts is
set for Friday, Gov. Mike DeWine announced.
The commission will convene on Aug. 6 to begin
the new redistricting process before the mid-September deadline to complete the new maps.
The data Ohio is anticipating receiving around Aug.
16 will include counts of population by race, Hispanic
origin, voting age and housing occupancy status at
geographic levels as small as neighborhoods. The data
will be used for drawing voting districts for Congress
and state legislatures.
The release of the data by the U.S. Census Bureau
will happen more than four months after the April
1 date on which it normally arrives — due to the
impact of the coronavirus.
The new system, which is meant to ﬁght gerrymandering in the state, requires an independent commission to ﬁnish redrawing legislative districts by Sept.
1. It sets a Sept. 30 deadline for the state’s General
Assembly to complete a new map of congressional
districts.
The number of congressional districts in Ohio was
reduced from 16 to 15 with the release of new census
data in late April. Updated U.S. House maps will need
to reﬂect that loss of a district.

court on Monday in Columbus, Ohio, as she awaits a hearing
on an eviction notice filed against her last month. The single
mom is behind $2,988 in rent and late fees for the one-bedroom
apartment she rented for herself and her three young sons. “We
just need help,” Rivera pleaded. Housing advocates fear the end
of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention moratorium on
evictions on Saturday could eventually result in millions of people

Manning tamed
doubts, injuries
on way to HOF
By Arnie Stapleton
AP Pro Football Writer

DENVER — Peyton Manning was coming off
a series of neck operations in between the storied
chapters of his Hall of Fame career in 2012 when
former college teammate and then-Colorado Rockies slugger Todd Helton invited him to a private
workout at Coors Field.
The two superstars of their respective sports
who played together at Tennessee in the 1990s
headed to the batting cages under the stands to
throw the football around.
Helton thought Manning was gooﬁng around
when his ﬁrst throw ﬂuttered and fell short.
It was no joke.
Manning was in the midst of retraining his brain
to release the ball on time and on target after missing the entire 2011 season and undergoing several
cervical spine surgeries that left him with unyielding numbness in the ﬁngertips of his right hand.
“He had nothing,” Helton recounted several
years ago. “But I knew he’d come back and be
Peyton Manning again because nobody else works
that hard.”
That work ethic allowed Manning to overcome
the heartache of his split with the Indianapolis
Colts, the doubts about his football future and
nerve damage in his right arm to go 50-15 in Denver and set numerous passing records while burnishing his lofty credentials as one of the greatest
passers in NFL history.
Manning overcame his neck problems to throw
140 of his 539 career touchdown passes for Denver, including a record 55 in 2013. In four years,
he led the Broncos to four AFC West titles, two
conference championships and a Super Bowl 50
triumph after overcoming a serious foot injury
to go with the Super Bowl he won with the Colts
nearly a decade earlier.
Manning retired a month after becoming the
ﬁrst starting quarterback to win Super Bowls with
two franchises, and he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame 24 hours before his friend and
longtime nemesis Tom Brady joined him in the
exclusive club by leading Tampa Bay over Kansas
City in Super Bowl 55 six months ago.
“I certainly wanted to play for the Indianapolis
Colts my entire career because they were the team
that drafted me” No. 1 overall in 1998, Manning
said as he reﬂected on his upcoming induction
into Canton. “I was fascinated by John Elway
being only a Bronco, Dan Marino being only a
Dolphin, Troy Aikman-Cowboys, my dad drafted
by New Orleans, majority of his career lived in
New Orleans. So, that was my plan all along.”
The Colts moved on to Andrew Luck after Manning missed the 2011 season and Indianapolis
secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL
draft.
After an emotional farewell to Indy, Manning
embarked on the most anticipated free agency tour
since Reggie White bolted Philadelphia for Green
Bay in 1993.
“And Denver just, boy, they just welcomed me
with open arms,” Manning recounted. “They were
the only team that understood I think what I was
going through emotionally, physically, and I think
a lot of that is Elway. Elway ﬂirted going to other
teams, rumors or whatnot and I think he knew
how probably that would have affected him. He
certainly knew injuries.”
Manning said only the Broncos were willing to
meet him halfway.
“They were the only team that said, ‘Hey,

bronze the medal she

taken to task those who
called it a disappointment, using it as proof
to the double standard
she believes follows her

and elsewhere — have
rallied around her over

Running mates: Chubb, Browns sign 3-year extension
By Tom Withers
AP Sports Writer

BEREA, Ohio — Nick
Chubb may celebrate his
huge contract extension
by running extra sprints
or lifting more weights.
“That’s who I am,” the
running back said.
And it’s why the
Browns love him.
Chubb signed a threeyear, $36.6 million

contract extension Monday with Cleveland, an
indication of the team’s
regard for his skills as
an elite running back
and appreciation for his
quiet, unassuming leadership.
The Browns locked up
the talented 25-year-old
Chubb — he’ll also get
$20 million guaranteed
— for the future as they
embark on what could

be a special season in
Cleveland. Expectations
are running wild after
the Browns ended their
long playoff drought and
won in the postseason
last season.
Chubb has already
rushed for 3,557 yards
and 28 touchdowns
in three seasons, and
there’s no reason to
think he won’t keep rolling.

But what separates
Chubb from other backs,
and from most players, is
his selﬂessness and work
ethic.
“He doesn’t say much,
and I think that sometimes seems like he’s not
a leader in that regard,
and that couldn’t be
farther from the truth,”
coach Kevin Stefanski
said. “He’s a leader in his
action.”

ROUNDUP

US women lose in soccer, win in v’ball, basketball

By Josh Dubow
AP Sports Writer

TOKYO — The quest
for gold medals is on
track for the U.S. women’s basketball and volleyball teams after ﬁnishing
at the top of their groups
in pool play.
The U.S. women’s soccer team can’t say the
same.
Jessie Fleming scored
on a penalty kick in the
74th minute and Canada
earned a 1-0 semiﬁnal
victory over the United
States in the Olympic
women’s soccer competition on Monday.
Canada goes on to face
Sweden in the gold medal
match, while the U.S.
will play Australia for
the bronze. Sweden beat
Australia 1-0 in the other
semiﬁnal.
It is the second straight
Olympics that the United
States has been knocked
out of contention for the
gold medal match.
“I think this is my ﬁrst
loss ever to Canada,”
American star Megan
Rapinoe said. “It sucks
not to be able to compete
for a gold medal, which
is what we wanted. Not a
great performance, either.
That’s the most frustrating thing.”
The Americans were
bounced from the 2016
Games by Sweden in the
quarterﬁnals. The U.S.
team goes on to play in
the bronze medal match
in Kashima on Thursday.
Canada had not won
against the United States
since 2001.
In basketball, A’ja Wilson scored 22 points and
Breanna Stewart added
17 to help the U.S. beat

France 93-82 in their ﬁnal
pool play match.
The win was the 52nd
in a row for the U.S.
going back to the bronze
medal game of the 1992
Olympics. The U.S. went
undefeated in group play
and advanced to the quarterﬁnals. The Americans
(3-0) haven’t lost a game
in group play since women’s basketball was added
to the Olympics in 1976.
“It wasn’t a must win,
but we always want to
win,” Stewart said. “To
have that momentum
going into the quarterﬁnals, this is where we
start to peak.”
While the U.S. women’s
basketball team has dominated at the Olympics,
the women’s volleyball
team is seeking its ﬁrst
gold medal ever.
The Americans are
off to a good start after
beating Italy in ﬁve sets
Monday to win their pool
despite losing a second
starter to a rolled ankle.

$1 trillion infrastructure debate opens in Senate
By Kevin Freking
and Lisa Mascaro
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer sought
to speed up consideration
of a nearly $1 trillion
bipartisan infrastructure
package Monday, promising that Democrats would
work with Republicans
to put together amendments. GOP senators cautioned that they needed
time to digest the massive bill.
Formally the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs
Act, the proposal clocked
in at some 2,700 pages
late Sunday after a hurryup-and-wait rare weekend
session. The ﬁnal product
was not intended to stray
from the broad outline a
bipartisan group of senators had negotiated for
weeks with the White
House. Schumer has said
a ﬁnal vote could be held
“in a matter of days.”
“Let’s start voting on

amendments,” Schumer
said as the Senate opened
for business on Monday.
“The longer it takes to
ﬁnish the bill, the longer
we will be here.”
A key part of President
Joe Biden’s agenda, the
bipartisan bill is the ﬁrst
phase of the president’s
infrastructure plan. It
calls for $550 billion in
new spending over ﬁve
years above projected federal levels — one of the
most substantial expenditures on the nation’s
roads, bridges, waterworks, broadband and the
electric grid in years.
The Republican leader,
Sen. Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky, will play a key
role in the bill’s ﬁnal outcome. So far, he has sided
with those voting to allow
debate to proceed, but he
has not signaled how he
will ultimately vote. He
described the bill Monday
as a “good and important jumping off point”
for a robust, bipartisan
amendment process. He

also warned Democrats
against setting “any artiﬁcial timetable.”
“Infrastructure is
exactly the kind of subject
that Congress should be
able to address across the
aisle,” McConnell said.
Senators and staff
labored behind the scenes
for days to write the massive bill. It was supposed
to be ready Friday, but
by Sunday, even more
glitches were caught and
changes made.
Late Sunday, most of
the 10 senators involved
in the bipartisan effort
rose on the Senate ﬂoor
to mark the unveiling of
the text.
“We know that this has
been a long and sometimes difﬁcult process,
but we are proud this
evening to announce this
legislation,” said Sen.
Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz.,
a lead negotiator. The bill
showed “we can put aside
our own political differences for the good of the
country,” she said.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., walks to the
chamber Monday as the Senate works to advance the $1 trillion
bipartisan infrastructure bill at the Capitol in Washington. The
2,700-page bill includes new expenditures on roads, bridges, water
pipes, broadband and other projects, plus cybersecurity.

Sen. Rob Portman of
Ohio, a Republican negotiator, framed the legislation as something that
would help the U.S. better
compete with China and
would make the “economy more efﬁcient, more
productive” after years of
struggle getting a public
works bill off the ground.
“People have talked
about infrastructure in

this city forever,” Portman said.
Over the long weekend of starts and stops,
Schumer repeatedly
warned that he was prepared to keep lawmakers
in Washington for as long
as it took to complete
votes on both the bipartisan infrastructure plan
and a budget blueprint
that would allow the Sen-

ate to begin work later
this year on a massive,
$3.5 trillion social, health
and environmental bill.
Republicans counter
that they just had a
chance to begin fully
reviewing the bill late
Sunday.
“We shouldn’t sacriﬁce
adequate time on this
bill merely because the
Democratic leader would
like to spend next week
jamming a 100% partisan piece of legislation
through the United States
Senate,” said Sen. John
Thune of South Dakota.
Among the major new
investments, the bipartisan package is expected
to provide $110 billion
for roads and bridges,
$39 billion for public
transit and $66 billion
for rail. There’s also to
be $55 billion for water
and wastewater infrastructure as well as billions for airports, ports,
broadband internet and
electric vehicle charging
stations.

US employers
ratchet up pressure
on the unvaccinated
By Alexandra Olson
AP Business Writer

NEW YORK —
Employers are losing
patience with unvaccinated workers.
For months, most
employers relied on
information campaigns,
bonuses and other
incentives to encourage their workforces
to get the COVID-19
shot. Now, a growing
number are imposing
rules to make it more
onerous for employees
to refuse, from outright
mandates to requiring
the unvaccinated to
undergo regular testing.
Among employers
getting tougher are the
federal government,
the state governments
of California and
New York, tech giants
Google and Facebook,
the Walt Disney Co.
and the NFL. Some
hospitals, universities,
restaurants, bars and
other entertainment
venues have also started requiring vaccines.
But the new measures are unlikely to
affect many of the millions of unvaccinated
Americans.
Many of the companies that are requiring
shots have mostly
ofﬁce workers who are
already largely vaccinated and are reluctant
to work alongside those
who aren’t.
In contrast, major
companies that rely on
low-income blue-collar
workers — food manufacturers, warehouses,
supermarkets and other
store chains — are
shying away from mandates for fear of driving
away employees and
worsening the labor
shortages such businesses are facing.
Tyson Foods, for
instance, said about half
of its U.S. workforce
— 56,000 employees —
has received shots after
the meat and poultry
processor hosted more
than 100 vaccination
events since February.
But the company said it
has no plans to impose
a mandate to reach the
other half.
Walmart and Amazon, the country’s two
largest private employers, have also declined

to require its hourly
workers to get vaccinated, continuing to
rely on strategies such
as bonuses and onsite
access to shots. But in
a potentially powerful signal, Walmart
said employees at its
headquarters will be
required to get vaccinated by Oct. 4.
The biggest precedent so far has come
from the federal government, the nation’s
largest employer.
President Joe Biden
announced last week
that all federal employees and contractors
must get vaccinated
or put up with weekly
testing and lose privileges such as ofﬁcial
travel.
The federal government has said it will
cover the costs of the
weekly tests. As for
other employers, insurance may pay for such
testing at some workplaces but not others.
Biden’s decision
could embolden other
employers by signaling
they would be on solid
legal ground to impose
similar rules, said
Brian Kropp, chief of
research at consulting
ﬁrm Gartner’s human
resources practice.
But Kropp said some
companies face complicated considerations
that go beyond legalities, including deep
resistance to vaccines
in many states where
they operate.
Retailers like
Walmart might have
a hard time justifying
vaccine requirements
for their workers while
allowing shoppers to
remain unvaccinated,
Kropp added. Stores
have mostly avoided
vaccine requirements
for customers for fear
of alienating them and
because of the difﬁculty
in trying to verify their
status.
In surveys by Gartner, fewer than 10% of
employers have said
they intend to require
all employees to be vaccinated.
But a shift is building
amid frustration over
plateauing vaccination
rates and alarm over
the spread of the more
contagious delta variant.

Republican state Rep. Jeff LaRe, a candidate of Ohio’s 15th congressional district, speaks to a gathering of Republicans on July 26 at 3
Brothers Diner in Grove City, Ohio. The special election for the seat today has suddenly becoming a high-stakes test of former President
Donald Trump’s endorsement power.

Special election to test Trump’s endorsement power
By Jill Colvin,
Thomas Beaumont
and Julie Carr Smyth
Associated Press

GROVE CITY, Ohio
— As soon as it became
clear last week that a
Texas congressional candidate backed by Donald
Trump would be defeated
in a special election, the
former president’s allies
quickly shifted their
attention to Ohio to ward
off another embarrassing
loss.
Make America Great
Again, a super PAC
chaired by Trump’s
former campaign manager, quietly purchased
$300,000 in Ohio television advertising. The buy
was intended to provide
a late-stage boost to
another Trump-backed
candidate facing a crowded ﬁeld of Republicans
in a special election on
Tuesday.
The midsummer race
for Ohio’s traditionally Republican 15th
Congressional District
wouldn’t typically get
much national attention.
But it’s suddenly becoming a high-stakes test of
Trump’s endorsement
power, which he has
wielded as a cudgel to
silence opposition in the
GOP.
Low-turnout special
elections aren’t perfect
measures of Trump’s
strength and he remains
a powerhouse in GOP
politics, revealing over

the weekend that his
political action committees are sitting on a massive $100 million pile of
cash. But a second loss
in two weeks could chip
away at Trump’s selfproclaimed kingmaker
status heading into next
year’s midterm elections.
“If it happens a couple
times, candidates and
political professionals
— they’re not stupid —
they’re going to say you
can win this race even
if you’re not endorsed
by Trump,” said Ohio
Republican consultant
Ryan Stubenrauch.
In other cases,
Trump’s decision to
throw his weight behind
candidates with baggage, including several
running against GOP
incumbents who crossed
him by voting in favor
of his second impeachment, has put him at
odds with other party
leaders. Some Republicans fear his moves
could complicate efforts
to win back majorities
in the House and Senate
next year.
In Ohio, Trump has
endorsed Mike Carey,
a coal lobbyist who is
among 10 Republicans
jockeying to replace
former GOP Rep. Steve
Stivers, who retired from
Congress earlier this
year. He faces a formidable lineup, including
three current state lawmakers: state Sens. Bob

Peterson and Stephanie
Kunze and state Rep.
Jeff LaRe. Former state
Rep. Ron Hood is also a
contender.
LaRe is backed by
Stivers, who held the
seat for a decade. Hood,
meanwhile, has generous support from U.S.
Sen. Rand Paul’s political
action committee. Candidate Ruth Edmonds, a
Black minister and former Columbus NAACP
president is endorsed
by religious conservative James Dobson and
Ken Blackwell, a former
Ohio elections chief who
served on Trump’s transition team.
In an interview, Carey
described the pitch he
made to Trump when
the two met for what he
thought would be a photo-op earlier this year.
“I said, ‘Listen, Mr.
President, you’ve been
somebody that supported
a lot of political candidates over the course of
your lifetime, and many
of them let you down.’ I
said, ‘I’m kind of in the
same boat — I mean, on
a much smaller scale,’”
Carey recalled. “After
about an hour and 20
minutes, he said, ‘I’m all
in. I’m going to endorse
you and do whatever it
takes to get you over the
ﬁnish line.’”
Trump, who headlined a rally with Carey
in June, reupped his
endorsement last week,
decrying candidates who

have used his likeness or
cited him in ads to try
to woo voters. “I don’t
know them, and don’t
even know who they are.
But I do know who Mike
Carey is — I know a lot
about him, and it is all
good,” Trump said in a
statement. “Let there be
no further doubt who I
have Endorsed!”
About 560,000 voters
are registered to vote
in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District, which
leans Republican. Half
of its voters live in parts
of Franklin and Fairﬁeld
counties, primarily suburban Columbus communities that Republicans
for generations could
count on, but where
Trump lost support in
2020. In the sparsely
populated remainder
of the district, Trump
improved over his 2016
performance, as he did
throughout rural Ohio.
It can be tough to draw
ﬁrm conclusions from a
pair of low-turnout special elections, especially
in Ohio, where the large
ﬁeld of candidates could
split the vote in unexpected ways.
But Trump has put
great personal stock
in his endorsements
and frequently touts
his record of wins. His
formal backing remains
highly coveted, with candidates making pilgrimages to Trump’s homes in
Florida and New Jersey
to win his favor.

Agreement shows
utility paid regulator
for future help
By Mark Gillispie
Associated Press

CLEVELAND —
Documents released
Monday show that
FirstEnergy Corp. paid
Sam Randazzo tens
of millions for years,
including $4.3 million
he received to help the
utility shortly before
he was nominated as
Ohio’s top utility regulator.
The ofﬁce of the
Ohio Consumers’ Counsel released consulting
contracts between
FirstEnergy Corp.
and the future chair
of the Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio,
Sam Randazzo, listing
around $11 million in
payments made to his
company between 2013
and 2019.
As part of a deferred
prosecution agreement
made public a week
ago, FirstEnergy said
it paid Randazzo $22
million over the years,
including the $4.3 million for his future work
on FirstEnergy’s behalf.
Randazzo “would
perform ofﬁcial action
in his capacity” as chair
of the Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio
to include passage of
a nuclear bailout bill
known as House Bill
6 and other FirstEnergy “legislative and
regulatory priorities,
as requested and as
opportunities arose,”
according to the statement of facts signed by
current CEO and President Steven Strah.
The statement said
FirstEnergy “had no
legal obligation to make
the payment.”
To avoid criminal
prosecution on a federal conspiracy charge,
FirstEnergy has agreed
to pay $230 million in
penalties and abide by
a lengthy list of provisions for the next three
years.

include market beef

Meigs County Junior Fair

The ofﬁce of the
Ohio Consumers’ Counsel sought copies of the
consulting contracts
as part of information
requests and subpoenas
submitted to FirstEnergy after then-U.S.
Attorney David DeVillers announced the
company had secretly
funded a $60 million
bribery scheme to get
the tainted energy bill
approved.
“Our consumer protection investigation
continues into any
harms electric consumers suffered from the
House Bill 6 scandal
involving FirstEnergy,”
J.P. Blackwood, a
spokesperson for Ohio
Consumers’ Counsel
Bruce Weston said.
“Unfortunately, progress has been slow.”
FirstEnergy spokesperson Jennifer Young
on Monday said:
“While we’re unable to
comment on the contract in light of pending
proceedings, we are
carefully reviewing and
revising our political
activity and lobbying/
consulting practices,
including requiring
robust disclosures
about lobbying activities.”
Randazzo denied
wrongdoing in a statement released by his
attorney last week. He
has not been criminally
charged.
“I executed my duties
as PUCO chair conscientiously, lawfully, and
mindful of striking the
right balance between
competing interests,”
Randazzo said. “At no
time prior to or after
my appointment to the
PUCO was I asked or
did I agree to exercise
authority as a public
ofﬁcial or perform any
ofﬁcial action in my
capacity as chair to
further FirstEnergy’s
legislative, regulatory
or other interests.”
