State Roundup: Backlash against U.S. Capitol insurrection
HOGAN CALLS FOR TRUMP’S RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL: Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said “America would be better off” if President Donald Trump resigned or was “removed from office,” Bryan Renbaum reports for Maryland Reporter. He called for leadership as the country reacts to Trump supporters attacking the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday as Congress was counting Electoral College votes and certifying Joe Biden’s presidential win.
Maryland’s National Guard and state police were ready Wednesday to help fight the “shameful attack on our democracy” in Washington, D.C., but federal officials repeatedly denied their authorization, Teresa McMinn of Cumberland Times-News reports from the Hogan presser.

Area officials and residents continue to express worries about two saltwater injection wells Omni Energy Co. intends to place near the intersection of U.S. 40 and Ohio 331.
ST. CLAIRSVILLE Belmont County officials were disppointed and dismayed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ approval of a permit for New Jersey-based Omni Energy Co. to place two saltwater injection wells at the intersection of U.S. 40 and Ohio 331.
The Ohio Supreme Court had ordered ODNR to make a decision regarding the permit. This occurred after a lawsuit filed by Robert E. “Bob” Murray, who has since died, had delayed the process since April. Murray’s filing argued that there should be a public hearing on the matter to allow nearby residents to voice their concerns. The coronavirus pandemic had prevented such a gathering, the High Court ruled that such a meeting was not required.

BIRMINGHAM, AL Before the Kick Six, there was The Kick. Before The Drive, there was The Reverse. And before The Camback, there was The Monsoon Game. The long and rich tradition of the Alabama/Auburn football rivalry has included some legendary games, and for a short stretch when Ray Perkins and Pat Dye faced off in the annual Iron Bowl, every game was a nail-biter.

Humphrey caught his first two career passes in the Saints loss to Tampa Bay, with one of those being a 17-yard touchdown reception. LJ has spent the majority of his first two years in the NFL on the New Orleans Saints practice squad, playing in only seven games. However, with Michael Thomas now on Injured Reserve, Humphrey suited up and made the most of it. Now all three of the Longhorns wideouts from the 2018 team (Duvernay, Johnson, and Humphrey) have scored in the NFL.
