Ohio lawmakers pass bill shifting public notices from newspapers to online, sparking transparency concerns.

Ohio lawmakers passed House Bill 315, allowing local governments to post public notices on their websites and social media instead of in newspapers. Critics say this move undermines transparency and gives officials more control over public information, potentially hiding issues like fraud and abuse. Governor Mike DeWine is urged to veto the bill to prevent reduced public access to essential government information.
