This week on "The State of Ohio": State lawmakers consider what they can do in the wake of the horrible and yet miraculous escape story out of Cleveland involving three women held prisoner in a house for a decade. New data shows more than half of all violent crimes are committed by a very small numbers of offenders. Lawmakers are now working to target that tiny group. And more thoughts on legislation that would dramatically change rules on unions in Ohio.

Triple-A is estimating a record number of travelers to hit the roads this Thanksgiving weekend. But Pennsylvania won’t rake in record revenues on its turnpike, because unionized toll workers walked off the job at 4am on Wednesday. The turnpike’s Bill Capone tells Ohio Public Radio’s Karen Kasler managers are taking over the booths on Thanksgiving, and drivers will pay a flat 2 dollar fee for cars and 15 dollars for trucks, rather than paying from tickets. Workers are on strike because of disputes over wages, job protection and health care. No new talks are scheduled. It’s the first strike in the 64-year history of the Pennsylvania Turnpike |
