Agree.

Common sense. You guys in The Buckeye State seem to have your act together.

Agree 100% with wedding bands. No earrings? I'm probably in agreement, but I'm curious. Why allow wedding bands, but not earrings, especially a simple pair on female officials? How about an engagement ring? Like wedding bands, some females leave an engagement ring, and/or simple earrings, on twenty-four seven. Other jewelry is usually taken on, and off, from day, to day, or even, hour, to hour. Not disagreeing. Not disagreeing if it's your local, or state, guideline. Not looking to start a major debate. Just curious.
