For State Senator Doug White, Wednesday Nov. 13 was a historic day. Shortly after 8:30 a.m., the year-long speculation about who will be the next Senate president ended.

White, R-Manchester, serves as senator to the 14th district, namely Adams, Brown, Clermont, Fayette, Highland, and Pike counties.

He will be one of the voices who calls the shots on what bills move in the Senate. He will serve as chairman of the Rules Committee — the committee that decides what bills make it to a vote on the floor.

OFCC PAC Commentary:
Please consider passing on congratulatory message to Sen. White, and let him know you'll be looking forward to his continued vigorous support for the self-defense rights of Ohioans.

Although he won't be President until the 125th General Assembly, he can vote and obviously has considerable influence in the Senate now. You might also express your desire to have HB274 passed by the Senate, unchanged, in the remaining days of the 124th General Assembly.

Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman ruled Friday that Cincinnati cannot sue non-Ohio gun manufacturers locally. If the city wants to sue the gun associations — the city sued the National Shooting Sports Foundation and American Shooting Sports Council — it would have to file the suit in the states where the associations are based, Ruehlman said.

Ruehlman granted a motion by the gun associations to be dismissed from the suit the city filed against Beretta U.S.A. Corp. and other gun manufacturers.
