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.

The Franklin County Court of Common Pleas has dismissed a case brought by Democrats over the state’s new JobsOhio program. The court ruled ProgressOhio and other plaintiffs didn’t have standing. In an interview with Ohio Public Radio’s Jo Ingles, ProgressOhio’s Brian Rothenberg says he finds that ruling curious given the way JobsOhio was put into place by the Ohio General Assembly. |

| Rothenberg says the court’s decision can be appealed and he says he will be meeting with attorneys to figure out whether that’s the next step that should be taken. JobsOhio, a private, non profit job creation board was created earlier this year through legislation. It is funded with money from the state’s liquor profits. |
