Order Online : "The State of Ohio"
This week on "The State of Ohio": The Senate version of the budget is on its way, with just a few weeks remaining to hammer out differences with the House. Lawmakers try to clarify the state auditor's role with JobsOhio. And we revisit and update two controversial issues from the last year - the abortion debate in Ohio and the state's new exotic animals law and the facility it created.
 

Democrats say lawmakers need to pass bills to make state more accountable.
By Jo Ingles - March 26, 2012
Ohio recently received poor marks from a group that looks at fourteen categories of ethics and accountability in government. The State Integrity Investigation gave Ohio a “D” grade overall. Democratic members of the Ohio House say lawmakers need to create a bipartisan task force to review current laws and practices. Representative Matt Lundy says being accountable to voters should be important to all lawmakers.


The Democrats say they’ve introduced bills that would make government more accountable but add, so far, they are not getting serious consideration.
