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.
 

Earth Day brings many green products to Statehouse - including one that was driven there.
By Jo Ingles - April 22, 2010
Ohioans who gathered on the Statehouse lawn on Earth Day were able to see a variety of displays about green energy and hear from business, community and political leaders about the importance of it. But it was a new car that stole the show. A prototype of the Chevy Cruze was unveiled. David Green, the President of the United Auto Workers Local 1714, says this new car does far more than get a gas mileage of 40 miles per gallon on the highway. He says this car helps many Ohioans put green in their pockets too.



Green says the manufacturing jobs that are necessary to make the new car will help Ohio's bottom line. Mass production of the Cruze is set to begin immediately in Lordstown.
