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.

Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River are much cleaner than they used to be. But
experts warn that many smaller tributaries -- especially in urban areas -- are
actually becoming more polluted. Sources include bacteria from sewer overflows,
sediment from construction sites, and chemical run-off from lawns, streets and
rooftops. In their natural state, ecologists say small streams help purify water
and reduce flooding after storms. But most urban streams are anything but natural.
The challenge of restoring polluted urban streams is one few communities have
attempted, but one such effort is now underway. WCPN's Karen Schaefer has this
report on restoring the Doan Brook. |
