FROM ONU FACEBOOK – “Gov. Mike DeWine's regular coronavirus briefings feature kitschy touches such as a recipe from First Lady Fran DeWine, a birthday shout-out to a staffer, or a special necktie.

It turns out that Ohio's colleges, universities and sports teams took notice.

DeWine received ties from at least 54 colleges and universities, eight athletic teams and four other organizations, according to his 2020 financial disclosure statement recently filed with the Ohio Ethics Commission.

Universities near and dear to DeWine — his alma mater Miami University, his law school Ohio Northern University, and his neighbor Cedarville University — all sent neckties. He got them from the biggest schools — University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University — as well as the smaller campuses such as Bluffton University and Hiram College.”
