COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio's four statewide elected officials, leaders of the House and Senate and Gov. Mike DeWine are among officials gathering at an annual legislative forum sponsored by The Associated Press.
Featured at Tuesday's meeting are Attorney General David Yost, Secretary of State Frank LaRose, Treasurer Robert Sprague and Auditor Keith Faber. All are Republicans.
House Speaker Larry Householder and Senate President Larry Obhof, both Republicans, and House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes and Senate Minority Leader Kenny Yuko, both Democrats, discussed legislative priorities for the year.
In a morning session, Yost said Ohio was not approached to join a new lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration to build a Mexico border wall.
The statewide elected officials all say they support Trump, but don't agree with him on every issue.
