Gubernatorial candidate stops in Meigs, Gallia
By Beth Sergent
bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com
OHIO VALLEY — Though
the Ohio primary is months
away, one of the candidates
for governor visited Gallia and
Meigs counties on Monday.
Nan Whaley (D), who is also
the mayor of Dayton, began
the morning at River Roasters
Coffee in Pomeroy, followed by
a stop at the Pomeroy Library
and lunch at Bob Evans Restaurant in Rio Grande, before
heading to Ironton. Whaley,
who announced her candidacy
in April, said she is currently in
the middle of visiting Ohio’s 88
counties.
Whaley spoke with Ohio Valley Publishing via phone on
Monday afternoon.
“I think part of this work is,
it’s important to go everywhere
and I want to be a governor
that is for everyone, and the
best way to show that is to
show up early and often and
so that’s what we’re trying to
do,” Whaley said when asked
how she planned to relate with
all voters in Southeast Ohio.
“That’s why we announced
for governor early, that’s why
we announced the 88 county
‘Ohio Deserves Better’ tour
and building relationships is an
important part of not only campaigning but governing, and so,
really listening to people about
the challenges that they’re seeing in their county, the things
that are on their mind, you
AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC
know, I just don’t think you can
replace the conversations being
had face-to-face…”
Whaley acknowledged many
of those face-to-face conversations were done with masks
while hearing about COVID-19
concerns from residents, in
both Meigs and Gallia counties,
on Monday.
“…I think there is a general
frustration from folks about
how they were happy with
[Governor] DeWine last year…
and really disappointed this
year in his actions [in relation
to his handling of the pandemic.]”
Beyond the “frustration”
with COVID-19, Whaley said
the logistics of state funding as
they related to mental health
services, particularly in regard
to young people coming out of
the pandemic, and addiction
services, were also discussed
by residents on Monday. She
relayed finding funding for
similar services in Dayton had
been an issue as well.
“I think what happens in a lot
of our communities across the
state of Ohio is, communities
that can do so, they raises their
own local taxes and those communities that can’t, do without, and there’s a better way
forward, and that’s about the
state really investing in small
communities and big communities all across the state, instead
of telling everybody they’re on

big play when Jake McElroy
stripped Hudson Stalder of the
ball and ran 11 yards for the
score.
Nelsonville-York was driving
in the fourth period, but Logan
Eskew stopped Stalder on
fourth down giving Meigs the
ball inside the Buckeyes 25. A
few plays later Cleland hooked
up with Metzger down the
right sideline for the score and
pull Meigs to within one, but a

Crucial time for Biden’s bill

WASHINGTON —
Free pre-kindergarten

for families with small
children. Dental care
and hearing aids for
seniors with Medicare.
Infrastructure improvements in every state.
There’s a lot in
President Joe Biden’s
$3.5 trillion governmentreshaping plan, and it’s
hitting a tumultuous
time. With Republicans
solidly opposed,
Democrats are rushing
to trim the total and finish up the big package,
an enormous undertaking with consequences
certain to shape Biden’s
presidency and their
own political futures.
Success would mean
a landmark accomplishment. Failure could end
careers.
All this, as other deadlines swirl this week
to pay for government
operations and allow
more borrowing or risk
a devastating federal
shutdown or debt default
— though those dire scenarios appear unlikely.
“You know me, I’m a

told reporters Monday,

done.”

Is a new job the
right financial
move for you?
By Liz Weston
NerdWallet
Whether you call it “The Great Resignation,”
“The Great Reshuffle” or just high time for a
change, millions of American workers are looking for new jobs — and some have already quit
the ones they have. Better pay isn’t necessarily
the motivator, labor experts say. Many people
are seeking greater flexibility, the ability to work
remotely or other nonfinancial benefits.
Still, money is important, and a job change
can be a great time to significantly improve your
financial prospects. In addition to the pay a new
job offers, you should consider the value of a wide
range of benefits and other compensation. Once
you have a clear picture of what you’re being
offered, you may be able to negotiate a better deal.
Total your current compensation
Start by calculating the compensation package
of the job you currently have, or your most recent
job if you’re unemployed, says Seth Mullikin, a
certified financial planner in Charlotte, North
Carolina. In addition to salary and any bonuses,
commissions, profit-sharing or stock options, you
should include employer-paid health and life insurance premiums as well as company contributions
to health savings accounts and retirement plans.
(These contributions are often listed on your pay
stubs, or you can ask the human resources department.)
Include any other perks you enjoy — cell
phone reimbursement, employee discounts, gym
memberships or company-provided day care, for
example — along with the value of benefits you’re
likely to use in the next one to three years, such as
infertility coverage or tuition assistance, Mullikin
suggests.
Next, contemplate what you might give up by
leaving now. Some benefits vest over time, such
as stock options, 401(k) matches and traditional
defined benefit pensions. This compensation may
not be enough to handcuff you to your job indefinitely, but you may not want to walk away prematurely from a significant payout.
“If you were leaving a company where you had
stock options that were close to vesting, would
you be better off waiting another year?” Mullikin
says.
How does the new job compare?
Perform similar calculations for a job you’re
being offered: Add to the proposed pay any
employer contributions for benefits and other
perks you’re likely to use. If these benefits aren’t
clearly laid out, ask for details and specific numbers.
Then check to see if you deserve more. Your
current salary may lag what most other employers pay if you’ve worked at the same company for
many years, says Lazetta Rainey Braxton, a CFP
in Brooklyn, New York. She recommends using
sites such as Salary.com to get a feel for what similar jobs pay so you can better assess the offer.
Take a deeper look
Benefits can take vastly different forms, depending on the company.
Some employers offer a range of health insurance plans from which to choose, while others
don’t. If the only option is a high deductible plan,
for example, that could be fine if you’re a young,
healthy person — or a disaster if you have substantial medical costs and not enough savings to
cover the deductible, Mullikin says. Similarly, a
plan with a limited network of providers could
become expensive if your doctors aren’t included.
Ask about waiting periods, too. Employers can
make you wait up to 90 days for health insurance
coverage or a year to contribute to a 401(k).
Parental and other leave policies can have waiting
periods, as well.
Company policies about time off vary enormously, and smaller companies may be exempted
from laws that apply to larger ones. For example,
companies with fewer than 50 employees typically
don’t have to comply with the federal Family and
Medical Leave Act that otherwise provides covered workers with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, jobprotected leave for caregiving or serious health
conditions.
Use your leverage
Financial considerations must be weighed with
all the other aspects of a prospective job. Are there
opportunities for advancement? Flexible scheduling and work locations? Is the workforce diverse
and the culture engaging?
Risk tolerance matters, too. You may be willing
to accept a smaller salary and fewer benefits in
exchange for stock options that could deliver a big
payoff someday. Or you may prize job security and
the opportunity to save for the future more than
rolling the dice.
If the job is tempting but the offer is lacking,
see if you can negotiate a better deal. You may
never have more leverage than you do before you
formally accept an offer that’s been extended, says
negotiating expert Kwame Christian, director of
the American Negotiation Institute in Columbus,
Ohio.
Christian recommends negotiating salary and
the other financial aspects before you ask for more
time off, a flexible schedule or other “creative
options” that don’t cost your employer directly.
“You always want to go for the money first,”
Christian says. “Because we know that money is
exhaustible, but with these creative options, those
are really largely inexhaustible.”

GOP’s Ohio legislative
maps hit with 2nd
lawsuit in 2 days
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s newly drawn
legislative district maps were hit Friday with the
second lawsuit in two days that alleges Republican
gerrymandering that violated the state constitution.
The lawsuit, filed in the Ohio Supreme Court
by the National Democratic Redistricting Committee’s legal arm on behalf of a group of Ohio voters,
challenges maps of Ohio House and Ohio Senate
districts passed last week along party lines by the
GOP-dominated Ohio Redistricting Commission.
It is the group’s first lawsuit nationally of the
redistricting cycle tied to the 2020 census, attorney Marc Elias told reporters in a briefing.
Elias said Friday’s litigation is complementary
to a suit filed Thursday by the ACLU on behalf of
the League of Women Voters, A. Philip Randolph
Institute and individuals, raising some similar and
some different constitutional violations.
The complaint goes further in challenging additional aspects of the map-drawing process, including draft maps being drawn behind closed doors,
public hearings being held when maps weren’t yet
available to react to, and a required deadline being
missed.
NDRC Chairman Eric Holder, attorney general
under former President Barack Obama, said the
maps — estimated to produce 67% of the House
districts and 69% of Senate districts to favor
Republicans — aim to deliver unearned power
to Republicans. The state’s partisan leanings are
roughly 54% Republican, 46% Democratic.
“They have not earned that level of representation of Ohio voters,” Holder said. “In fact, over the
past decade, even with maps that were painfully
gerrymandered and aiding them, Ohio Republicans earned just over 54% of the vote statewide
for state legislative offices.”
The litigation also quotes concerns raised publicly by three Republican statewide officeholders
who sit on the redistricting commission, using the
words of Gov. Mike DeWine, Secretary of State
Frank LaRose and Auditor Keith Faber to help
make the case for unconstitutionality.
Republican Senate President Matt Huffman,
who led the Republican map-making effort, has
defended the maps as fair and constitutionally
compliant — criticizing Democrats and special
interest groups for thwarting a bipartisan deal.
“First Barack Obama’s lawyer sued and now
Hillary Clinton’s lawyer sued,” John Fortney, a
spokesman for Huffman said Friday. “Two of the
most partisan, far left, polarizing figures in politics want to lecture Ohio voters about fairness.
The so called non-partisan voter groups finally
showed how partisan and politically motivated
they really are.”
The Ohio Supreme Court has original and exclusive jurisdiction in deciding the map challenges.
Justices face some pressure to act quickly, should
they decide to send the maps back to the drawing
board. Candidates must register for 2022 elections
on Feb. 2.
OHIO BRIEFS
Man killed no one, so nix
death penalty possibility
WAVERLY, Ohio (AP) — Attorneys for an Ohio
man charged in eight slayings want the aggravated
murder charges and the possibility of a death
penalty to be dismissed because they say prosecutors now have information indicating he didn’t kill
anyone.
George Wagner IV, his parents and adult brother
were charged in the 2016 Rhoden family shootings
near Piketon in southern Ohio.
In a court filing Friday in Pike County, lawyers
for the 29-year-old Wagner questioned the fairness
of proceeding with the capital case when recent
information turned over by prosecutors indicates
Wagner didn’t kill the victims.
