DeWine stopped by Rose Goute Creole on S Limestone Street to get a bite to eat and speak with the community.
“I think it’s time now to kind of focus on what Springfield needs,” DeWine said.
Some of those needs include bringing more healthcare and security to the area.
But coming to the restaurant gave DeWine the opportunity to ask community members what they want.
