This week on "The State of Ohio": A twist in the campaign for governor -the GOP goes after the Democratic governor for his Wall Street connections. A new report says the state spends hundreds of millions of dollars locking up low level offenders for sentences that are too short for rehabilitation, but long enough to give them time to learn from experienced criminals. There's a huge budget deficit on the horizon, but the Department of Education has requested nearly a billion dollars more money in the next budget. The state school superintendent explains.
And the 2010 Ohio State Fair is open, and it brings a colossal honor for a former chief executive - all this week in "The State of Ohio".

(Dayton-AP) -- A former State Highway Patrol trooper has been sentenced to ten years in prison for shooting and critically wounding his wife and then trying to cover it up. Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Dennis Langer today sentenced 37-year-old Luther McCormick for his convictions on felonious assault and tampering with evidence. McCormick could have gotten up to 16 years in prison.
McCormick's 39-year-old wife, Tara, was shot in the face as she slept on the family room couch in the couple's suburban Miamisburg apartment in the early morning of July 24th, 2001. Her husband was found later at the patrol's Xenia post, about 20 miles away. The patrol fired him for dishonesty after its administrative investigation of the shooting. Tara McCormick testified on her husband's behalf during the trial. |
