FILE - This Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020 file photo shows Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine looking on during a news conference at Toledo Express Airport in Swanton, Ohio. A year after the first coronavirus shutdowns, many U.S. states and cities are still struggling with a silent side effect: Public records have become harder to get. After months of repeated AP inquiries, DeWine's office on March 3, 2021, released just two documents from last spring — one from a hospital association proposing criteria for resuming elective procedures.
