Making a movie

A police car flips during a stunt as a crew films a scene for the movie "Stickshift" on Perkins Avenue in Sandusky on Tuesday, June 5, 2024. Register photo/ERIN CALDWELL At least part of the city became a sort of Hollywood East as a portion of West Perkins Avenue was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday for the filming of a movie. Another closure will occur along West Perkins Avenue between Camp Street and Old Railroad Road between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on June 10-11. The last movie we remember being filmed here was "Swan Song," from director and Sandusky native Todd Stephens. It was a parody of sorts that features Sandusky prominently in the story line. "Stickshift" is being filmed in this area this week, but we're still a little foggy about the plot. It won't have a Sandusky focus, however, given that film makers used a Toledo police cruiser in a chase scene. Say one thing; do another Lawmakers in Columbus are working on voter reform never seem to get their story straight. They always talk about securing elections from fraud, but never reveal what frauds they are preventing. The latest effort seems to target the same certain voters. House Bill 472 would require absentee voters to make a copy of their state identifications or driver's license in order to submit their ballots and have their votes counted. This is another effort to make it more difficult for certain residents to vote. No good can come from voter reform enacted by a gerrymandered supermajority. It's just not possible since unfairness is the cornerstone of a gerrymandered supermajority.
