The Ohio Statehouse remains open for business and lawmakers assembled Wednesday to pass emergency legislation related to the coronavirus crisis. Reporters shifted from covering Gov. Mike DeWine’s daily press conferences in a crowded room, to a more spacious hearing room and now from the Statehouse Atrium. Support staff from janitors to audio-visual experts have been working to bring the daily briefings to reporters and the wider Ohio audience.“We want to keep these doors open as long as we can,” said Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder.
