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 states 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.

It was 204 years ago today that the Ohio Legislature held its first meeting. History buffs are marking the day with a meeting at the statehouse, and one of the stars is the original Ohio Constitution, which was written in 1802. It's the first time in about a decade that the well-worn papers have been on public display. Pari Swift, the assistant state archivist, tells statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen - the document is too fragile to be subjected to a lot of handling and a lot of light.
The original Ohio Constitution was approved by about three dozen delegates who met in Chillicothe in 1802. The next year, Ohio officially became the 17th state in the union. |
