esquire.com – Being our semi-regular weekly survey of what’s goin’ down in the several states where, as we know, the real work of governmentin’ gets done, and where it wasn’t me who made him fall so no, you can’t blame me at all.

Let’s start by cheering on Ohio Governor John Kasich for boldly stepping into the suburbs of 2016 by signing a law that puts Ohio on the, ahem, high side of medical marijuana. Before we cheer too loudly, though, let’s acknowledge that Kasich is doing his usual two-step—signing the bill without saying whether or not he approves of what the bill actually does. As Cincinnati.com tells us, Kasich is acting out of what he tells the country relentlessly is the goodness of his heart.
