  • DeWine stated that no agency should prioritize administrative tasks over patrolling due to lack of compensation.
  • Fees set by the law can reach up to $75 per hour, with a limit of $750 per request.
  • Governor DeWine remains committed to the public's right to access government records, pledging to amend the law if necessary.
