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.
 

Republican Senator who was key vote on Senate Bill 5 reacts to proposed Issue 2 talks.
By Karen Kasler - August 18, 2011
On the eve of talks proposed by Republican leadership with union leaders, a key Republican lawmaker is saying he’s still siding with those who want to get rid of Ohio’s collective bargaining law. Gov. John Kasich and other GOP leaders have proposed a meeting tomorrow with leaders of We Are Ohio, the coalition of unions and progressive groups that put before voters Issue 2, which would reject the law. State Senator Bill Seitz, a Republican of Cincinnati, voted against Senate Bill 5 and signed a petition to put the law before voters. He says it’s never too late to talk – but there’s a catch.




The proposed meeting between lawmakers and We Are Ohio leaders is Friday morning at 10. The deadline for taking Issue 2 off the ballot is August 30.

Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati) (:20)
