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.
 

Poll by backers of election law repeal says Ohioans agree with them.
By Jo Ingles - February 21, 2012
Backers of a plan to repeal a new election reform law say a new poll shows Ohioans will be likely to do that. Bob Meadow, pollster for the company that did the survey for Fair Elections Ohio, says 54% of those surveyed say the new election reform law should be repealed while 31% want to keep it in place. He says the support for repeal is widespread.


Former Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner says the issue cannot be removed from the ballot, regardless of what lawmakers do to the newly passed law, without the consent of her group that put it on the ballot in the first place. She says she'd like to see a vote on the new law now because dropping it could open the door for the legislature to try to bring back some of the controversial parts of it later in a lame duck session.
