This past month has seen the Speaker's Committee extend themselves to give us reason (other than fine fellowship and a chance to win the Big POt) to wake up early on Fridays.
Walt Dennis explained how Scioto County Club is going to be a fantastic venue for a fantastic tournament, the 2016 U.S. Senior Open. A field with many champions will contend to win this senior Major Tournament, as Walt tells us here.
Self-described political "wonk" Mike Close displayed his usual acumen in explaining the complexities of three proposed amendments to the Ohio Constitution, bringing far more clarity to the issues than we likely would have had in a debate from proponents and opponents. Good job, Mike! Watch him here.
The six candidates for the three vacant Dublin City Council seats displayed a pleasing civility and respect for each other and the political process as they made their cases for election. Would that some national level political forums be run with such enviable grace and lack of ego. Watch them here.
Brandon Lewis made an elegant case for helping the work of the Columbus Community Hunger Project. According to Brandon, "the Columbus Community Hunger Project is focused on combating food insecurity in Ohio. Additionally we seek to set an example for our children of giving back to those in need. We are blessed to be a blessing." Watch Brandon, with an able assist from our own Todd Hoadley, here.
