Victims of crime often get state or federal funds to help pay for damages. But one of the funds is running low on cash right now. That's why Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, along with attorney generals in other states, is asking the federal government for help. In an interview with Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles, Cordray explains he wants the a surplus of federal money to be transferred into the state's crime fund. |
