A political and family storm in Ohio: Donna Arthur, the mother of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton, released a video calling on the public not to vote for her daughter, claiming she is a liar and has lied about her past. The mother alleged that Acton is lying about her childhood stories, including the claim that she grew up in a tent.
