Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said his "biggest mistake" in office was signing the gambling bill into law, according to the Ohio Capital Journal. DeWine signed the bill legalizing sports betting in December 2021. Speaking at last week’s Columbus Metropolitan Club forum the governor reportedly said, “What I did not anticipate — and I should have — is the massive, massive amount of money that these gambling companies would come in … and they flood the airways.” He added that “more Ohioans are gambling and losing money, and athletes are being abused online as a result of sports betting.”
