Order Online : "The State of Ohio"
This week on "The State of Ohio": State lawmakers consider what they can do in the wake of the horrible and yet miraculous escape story out of Cleveland involving three women held prisoner in a house for a decade. New data shows more than half of all violent crimes are committed by a very small numbers of offenders. Lawmakers are now working to target that tiny group. And more thoughts on legislation that would dramatically change rules on unions in Ohio.
 

Lawmaker and consumer watchdog want more rules on utilities developing "efficiency" plans.
By Bill Cohen - February 9, 2010
Last year, some customers of First Energy were outraged when they were sent two energy-saving lightbulbs by the utility, and then learned they'd be billed a total of more than $21 for them. Now, a consumer advocacy agency and a state lawmaker are teaming up to propose a system they say could help utilities avoid that kind of public relations nightmare and still help promote energy efficiency. Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen reports.
