Order Online : "The State of Ohio"
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 state’s 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.
 

ODOT speeds into the social networking world, urging Ohioans to follow on Twitter.
By Jo Ingles - January 8, 2010
If you ask some Ohioans why they don't have an account on the social utility Twitter, they might say they don't want to know what everyone else had for breakfast. But Twitter is also a resource for Ohioans to get updated information about road closures, construction, and weather road conditions. The Ohio Department of Transportation's Scott Varner says the agency went online with twitter last month after months of considering the move. And in an interview with Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles, Varner explains the agency is finding a following so far.



Ohioans with Twitter accounts can plug the letters "ODOT" into the search bar. They can choose to follow the transportation departments in the area where they live or all over the state.
