Bomb threats that were later proven to be false have forced the evacuation and closure of schools and government buildings in Springfield, including City Hall.

Ohio state police will conduct daily sweeps of schools in Springfieldafter authorities have been forced to investigate “at least 33” bomb threats that led to evacuations and temporary building closures, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Monday.

“We want to make sure, as school continues this week in Springfield, that parents have confidence that the school is in fact safe,” the Republican governor said at a press conference.

Each bomb threat has been a hoax without “any validity at all,” DeWine said.

    That’s according to the republican governor.

    Not saying it’s wrong, but he does have an incentive to divert attention to his insane base. Also it’s not uncommon to conceal where the call is coming from.
