Columbus Dispatch:

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, Auditor Dave Yost and Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor are calling on fellow Republican House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger to quit immediately rather than waiting until May 1.

The Ohio Democratic Party joined the Republicans in calling for the embattled leader to depart the Statehouse — now — as he faces an FBI inquiry into his conduct, including questions about who paid for foreign travel.

DeWine and Yost — Republican candidates for governor and attorney general, respectively — issued statements Wednesday morning advising Rosenberger to step down immediately, even as he professes his innocence

The Clarksville Republican, serving his last term in the House, set his departure date as May 1 in announcing his resignation Tuesday evening.
