I've heard that some cities in Ohio are tougher on OVI offenses than others. Is that true?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Southwest Ohio Law Offic...
Yes; it is true that the codes of some Ohio municipalities are stricter than the State Code. When that is the case, the municipality's code takes precedence over the state's code. For example, the Columbus City Code has what is called a "lifetime lookback" period. This means that, in Columbus, any prior OVI, no matter how many years ago it was, will be considered when deciding penalties.

Life after gynecological cancer: Emotional impact | Question...
Jax, Massachusetts, USA: My gyn-oncologist warned me that I might get "post-surgical" depression. What surprised me was how good I felt mentally in the weeks right after surgery.
