Watch This Week's "The State of Ohio" Online
Order Online : "The State of Ohio"
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".
 
About Us


The Statehouse News Bureau was founded in 1980 to provide educational, comprehensive coverage of legislation, elections, issues and other activities surrounding the Statehouse to Ohio's public radio and television stations. To this day, the Bureau remains the only broadcast outlet dedicated to in-depth coverage of state government news and topics of statewide interest. The Bureau is funded through eTech Ohio, and is managed by ideastream.

The reporters at the Bureau follow the concerns of the citizens and voters of Ohio, as well as the actions of the Governor, the Ohio General Assembly, the Ohio Supreme Court, and other elected officials. We strive to cover statehouse news, government issues, Ohio politics, and concerns of business, culture and the arts with balance and fairness, and work to present diverse voices and points of view from the Statehouse and throughout Ohio.

The three award-winning journalists at the bureau have more than 60 combined years of radio and television experience. They can be heard on National Public Radio and are regular contributors to Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Marketplace.

Every weekday, the Statehouse News Bureau produces in-depth news reports for Ohio's public radio stations. Those stories are also available on this website, either on the front page or in our archives. Weekly, the Statehouse News Bureau produces a television show from our studios in the Statehouse. The State of Ohio is an unique blend of news, interviews, talk and analysis, and is broadcast on Ohio's public television stations.

The Statehouse News Bureau also produces special programming throughout the year, including the Governor's annual State of the State address to the Ohio General Assembly and a five-part year-end review.

To listen to the Statehouse News Bureau's reports or to view The State of Ohio, you'll need the latest RealPlayer and at least a 28.8 kbps connection to the internet.
