Order Online : "The State of Ohio"
This week on "The State of Ohio": The budget is on its way to a committee that will hammer out the differences before the end of the month deadline. But there are serious issues on both sides that could slow down the talks. A billion dollars is headed back to Ohio employers who paid into the state’s Bureau of Workers' Comp program. But a critic says the BWC has an outstanding bill that remains unpaid. And more on how Ohio's poorest people are surviving the rising costs of a basic existence.
 

As Ohioans clean up, they're being warned to be wary of some tree operations.
By Jo Ingles - September 15, 2008
Many Ohioans have spent part of the day cleaning up debris from downed trees as a result of Sunday afternoon's wind storms. Mitch Wilson with the Ohio Insurance Institute says homeowners insurance might cover the cost of some tree removal.





Wilson says homeowners policies generally will not cover tree removal if the trees did not cause damage to the structure or property that is insured. He warns Ohioans to check to make sure the people they hire to remove trees are reputable and bonded. Wilson says Ohioans should never sign a blank contract for tree removal and should never pay for the work until it has been completed.
