A Republican senator plans to continue his hearings on why troopers who were tipped off that a woman planned to drop a suspicious package at the Governor's Residence in January were told not to arrest her. Sen. Tim Grendell convened the hearings to hear why the director of the department of public safety and the superintendent of the highway patrol called off the package drop, which was apparently intended for an inmate who was working at the Residence through the longstanding prison internship program. When asked about Grendell's investigation, Gov. Ted Strickland says he has - using his words - "more important things to think about." |

| The last hearing got heated as Grendell sparred with Democratic senator Nina Turner. Turner and the inspector general, had written to Grendell asking him to delay the hearings till the IG was finished with his probe. |
