For the fifth time, Strickland spares life of a convicted killer on death row

Gov. Ted Strickland has granted clemency to a death row inmate who was supposed to be executed later this month. Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles has details.


Ohio is sitting on half a billion dolllars in federal money from Medicaid reimbursement
Ohio has received more than a half a billion dollars from the federal government for reimbursement of the Medicaid program. Gov. Ted Strickland's spokeswoman, Amanda Wurst, says Ohio's hospitals in particular will receive $150 million from the funds now.

Wurst says the governor is holding more than $243 million of the money back for now. Wurst says he wants to gather input from the legislature before designating where that pot of money should be spent.


Conservative and progressive groups both hit the road to drive home messages
Conservative groups and liberal groups in Ohio are both trying to put the heat on Washington to approve policies they like. That was evident today in Columbus, as both camps dueled with competing events. Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen reports.

The Statehouse News Bureau, working together with ideastream, a public service multi-media organization, provides to public radio and television stations daily and weekly coverage of issues of statewide interest and those surrounding state government, in an effort to educate, enlighten and empower the citizens of Ohio.
