Episode Details

Amy Acton is launching a bold anti-corruption campaign as a Democratic gubernatorial hopeful, promising three executive orders on day one to crack down on ethics violations, boost transparency in state contracts, and create a task force to root out fraud. Her plan includes a three-year cooling-off period for regulators before working for regulated companies — stricter than current rules — and she’s citing recent scandals like House Bill 6 to justify the urgency. While good government advocates applaud her immediate action, critics say she overlooked key consumer protections. Meanwhile, rival Vivek Ramaswamy targets Medicaid fraud for billions in savings, and Libertarian Don Kissick offers similar transparency proposals. Acton’s team insists her approach is serious and systemic — corruption is now front and center in Ohio’s governor’s race.
