Sykes Asks Kasich To Help Mediate Dispute Over Her Treatment At Security Checkpoints

cleveland.com

Democratic State Representative Emilia Sykes wants Republican Governor John Kasich to help mediate her civil rights complaint. 

The black lawmaker says she receives unfair treatment at security checkpoints at the Statehouse. The Ohio Highway Patrol has denied that. Sykes filed the complaint against four agencies, including the Ohio House and the Department of Public Safety. To avoid an investigation, Sykes wants Kasich to help get all sides to the table. 
 
Kasich has yet to respond to the request. 
 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
