The Ohio Capital Journal frames rising power bills as a consumer protection issue requiring gubernatorial attention, examining what each candidate proposes to do about utility costs and regulation. This approach emphasizes the practical impact on households and positions energy affordability as a key campaign differentiator.

Key Differences
