This week on "The State of Ohio": The budget is on its way to a committee that will hammer out the differences before the end of the month deadline. 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.

A government watchdog group wants more testimony from Ohioans at a hearing planned by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission at Ohio State University on Wednesday. Catherine Turcer of Ohio Citizen Action says she understands how difficult and lengthy a hearing including public testimony can be, but the commission needs to hear from voters themselves. Among those scheduled to testify at the hearing on Wednesday are Secretary of State Ken Blackwell and Cuyahoga County Board of Elections chair Michael Vu. The US Election Assistance Commission chose Ohio for its first hearing site because of the large number of provisional ballots cast in November – more than 153-thousand of them. |
