#BREAKING

Governor #DeWine broke #Ohio law when he removed a teachers’ pension board member to thwart the results of an active board election.

His actions now must be fully investigated.

You don’t just get to violate clear law with no accountability

David Pepper, author of Saving Democracy is on @CNNNetwork “threats to democracy happening at state level” and I am thrilled to see him- he was on MSNBC last night. First saw him on @radicalizedpod twice and thank god his book about the states’ threats to democracy is getting exposure. #SavingDemocracy #DavidPepper
