Ohio Governor Mike DeWine delivered an address on the progress Ohio has made, as well as looking towards the future. "The state of our amazing state is strong," said DeWine to open his address.
DeWine gave his last state address in 2019. The governor lost that annual chance to talk about state issues due to the coronavirus pandemic, but ironically he became the most viewed governor in state history by giving dozens of daily and later weekly online news conferences documenting Ohio's efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

During the Lima Rotary meeting, the board of commissioners gave a State of the County Address. They talked about where the county funding comes from for the general fund and where it is spent. Plus, they talked about the number of properties the county owns and maintains. The commissioners are also looking at ways to spend around 18 million dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act. The funding has specific rules on how it can be spent, and the board is trying to find the best way to get some projects done with the one-time-only federal funds.
Governor Mike DeWine says that he will be holding a State of State address in 2022. The first and last State of the State that the governor had was in 2019 and he decided to not hold the annual address the past two years because of the pandemic. DeWine did address state issues at the over 160 Coronovirus briefing that he held over the last 22 months. DeWine also promised to hold the State of the State speeches in Columbus, stopping the trend that his predecessor John Kasich did of moving the address to different locations around the state including Lima. There is no date yet when DeWine will be holding his State of the State address.
