WOSU’s Mike Thompson and the Columbus on the Record panel look at the prospects of legal recreational marijuana sales this summer, an Ohio law could keep President Joe Biden off the November ballot, the Ohio Supreme Court protects the privacy of dead people and Ohio tries again to regulate social media as well as phones in schools.

In this episode:
Legal marijuana is coming soon to Ohio and sales could start this summer.

Ballot flap could keep President Biden off the ballot in Ohio because the Democratic National Convention takes place after the state’s deadline.

Ohio Supreme Court rules some death records are not subject to public disclosure. The case stems from death certificates at the start of the COVID19 pandemic.

Despite a court ruling, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s push to regulate social media and smart phones continues.

Our panelists give their Off The Record parting shots.

This week’s panelists:
Julie Carr Smyth, reporter for The Associated Press
