Gov. Mike DeWine urges unity at Lincoln Plaza unveiling in Columbiana County
Summary
At the Lincoln Plaza sculpture unveiling, an event host credited capital budget approval for the plaza and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine highlighted Abraham Lincoln's local connection and urged national unity.
An event host credited approval of the capital budget with making Lincoln Plaza possible and introduced Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine at the unveiling of a new Abraham Lincoln sculpture in Columbiana County.
Gov. Mike DeWine said Abraham Lincoln "certainly did have some connection here to Columbiana County," and said Lincoln's words and vision remain an inspiration. "We continue to be inspired by him today by the things that he said and by his vision of this united country," DeWine said. He added that in a time of political division "it's important for us to be reminded that we are a unified country."
