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.

| Restauranteur and farmers' friend Bob Evans dies in Cleveland. |

Restauranteur Bob Evans has died at the age of 89. Evans became nationally known for his sausage, which he served to truckers in a 12-stool steakhouse in Gallia County. That original restaurant became the cornerstone of a chain that bears his name. Bob Evans had more than $1 billion in sales last fiscal year, with 590 restaurants in 18 states. Shortly after leaving the day-to-day operations of the business, W-O-U-B interviewed Evans, who spoke fondly of his life in Southeast Ohio.
Evans said he became rich because he was motivated to make money, but he spent his last years working with small farmers in the region.
Evans was being treated for pneumonia at the Cleveland Clinic when he died early yesterday. |
