A fast food drive through in Columbus is closed due to a lack of workers.
A Franklin County judge has ruled against reinstating $300 weekly pandemic unemployment checks for Ohioans out of work. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine ended the additional federal assistance prematurely last month.
The judge said the law is clear that DeWine wasn’t obligated to continue the program for around 200,000 Ohioans.
Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann, who represents the unemployed workers, said he’s already asked the Tenth District Court of Appeals to review Judge Michael Holbrook’s ruling.
“We think he read the law wrong," Dann said. "We think the Tenth District might read it differently."
