DeWine, Cordray spar, but align against right-to-work

MARIETTA, Ohio (AP) — Ohio's major party governor candidates both say they'd veto right-to-work legislation and foster a civil, bipartisan spirit in Ohio government — and that's about where their agreements ended.

Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine and Democrat Richard Cordray, the former federal consumer watchdog, appeared in a policy-heavy second debate Monday at Marietta College. The two sparred over health care issues, guns, opioids and oversight of e-schools.

DeWine said he would veto right-to-work legislation because it's a divisive issue that wouldn't advance his plans for growing the state's economy through investment in early childhood education and job training.

Cordray said he'd also block the bill.
