Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed a law legalizing sports betting. He now says he's opposed to it

If Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine could turn back time, he would not have signed the law that legalized sports betting in his state. With two Cleveland Guardians pitchers and an Ohio-born guard for the Miami Heat snared in separate betting-related criminal probes, the second-term Republican says he now “absolutely” regrets unleashing this unbridled new industry on Ohioans with his 2021 signature. “Look, we’ve always had gambling, we’re always going to have gambling,” DeWine told The Associated Press last week.
