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.
 

Ohio University announces big budget shortfall, must cut back major programs.
By Fred Kight - February 16, 2010
Almost $14 million...that's the amount that needs to be cut from Ohio University's $352 million budget for the next fiscal year. The target was announced yesterday by O-U Provost and Executive Vice President Pam Benoit, who released a 15 page Draft Budget Recommendations report.


Benoit's office takes the biggest hit in the report -- a proposed reduction of nearly 9%. Cuts in the 7%percent range are proposed for the President's Office, Intercollegiate Athletics and Graduate College, International Studies, Campus Recreation and W-O-U-B. Now that the report is out, the next step in the budget process is to get feedback from faculty, staff and students. Four forums are planned, starting a week from today.
