Columbus, Ohio

Columbus, Ohio, is the state capital and home to Ohio State University (OSU). Recent news highlights several aspects of the city. OSU is facing pressure to remove the Wexner name from buildings due to Les Wexner's association with Jeffrey Epstein; the former OSU president also recently resigned over an inappropriate relationship. Columbus is also connected to a recent military aircraft crash in Iraq, as three of the service members killed were from the Ohio National Guard's 121st Air Refueling Wing based there. Furthermore, changes to Ohio's voting laws are impacting residents, as evidenced by long lines at the Columbus Public Health Department for required documents. Les Wexner's ties to Epstein are also under scrutiny, with a congressional deposition scheduled in Columbus. Finally, a local home in Columbus was the site of a double homicide, with the ex-husband indicted.
