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.

| Lawmakers talk up wind energy, hope they can stir up interest before energy bill vote. |

Twenty-two state representatives want to make it clear that they are serious about increasing Ohio's use of wind energy. In a letter to leaders of the Ohio House, they outlined the numerous benefits of making wind energy a main focus of a pending alternative energy plan. That plan would require that 25% of Ohio's energy come from alternative sources by the year 2025. State representatives John Adams and Cliff Hite say wind energy could mean a boost for the rural areas they represent.
At the moment, this bi-partisan group of wind-boosters isn't calling for electric companies to be required to get a fixed percentage of their energy from wind. They say their main focus is simply to show widespread support for wind energy, and to encourage discussion about its benefits and costs. |
