The Becker Report – October 2022

Beckerisms

Ohio Supreme Court Election

Associate Justices

Vote for conservative Justices Pat DeWine and Pat Fischer to restore the rule of law.

Ballot Issue 1

Vote Yes.

Requires courts to consider public safety when setting bail.

Ballot Issue 2

Vote Yes.

Prohibits illegal aliens and other non-citizens from voting. Currently, municipalities could allow illegal aliens and other non-citizens to vote in local elections.

Homicide by Abortion

Left-wingers and pro-aborts have been going nuts since the reversal of Roe. Predictably, the media has been spinning the issue as if women are the victims of the reversal of Roe.
Can somebody help me to understand why human rights (and this is literally a life and death issue) doesn’t supersede the convenience of the mother or her so-called “right” to kill her baby?
Whatever happened to follow the science?
In this upside down world, a Bible verse comes to mind:

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Isaiah 5:20 (NIV)

Union Township Update

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

One will soon open near the Harley Davidson dealership on Old SR 74. (It was approved administratively.) An additional one has been approved by a 2-1 vote (I voted no.) on Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road near Ike’s Catering. Licenses may have been approved by the state for one or two more. Regardless, a six month moratorium is now in place to stop any future applications.

Union Township welcomes new and growing businesses

TQL will be adding an additional 1,000 jobs at its sprawling UT campus. The Board of Trustees has approved TQL’s new construction plans. The new southern wing will look similar to their recently added northern wing. They are currently expanding the parking lot on the north side of their building.
Kroger: The Union Township Board of Trustees approved Kroger’s plans to demolish Sears and build a new 123,722 square foot Kroger Marketplace store detached from the mall. The store will include a Starbucks, drive through pharmacy, expanded deli, expanded bakery, a Murray Cheese section, sushi, expanded adult beverage section, apparel, home goods, expanded grocery section, and a Kroger fuel center with 18 fuel pumps. The fuel will be on the Wendy’s side of the parking lot. The northeast side of the store will have a parking area for on-line pickup. The current Kroger store on Eastgate Boulevard will likely close sometime next year in coordination with opening the new Kroger Marketplace store.
Outback Steakhouse is planning a new restaurant near Meijer’s where the old Starbucks and a video store used to be. Demolition is expected this fall. Construction is scheduled for winter and the grand opening is planned for early 2023.
Take 5 Oil Change will be building on the site of an old shuttered Wendy’s near the corner of Ohio Pike and Nine Mile Road.
Biggby Coffee will build a new location in Meijer’s parking lot near the current Chase Bank location. Due to upcoming road construction, Chase Bank will be closing and potentially rebuilding in the immediate area.
