James has been in meetings with officials from various basketball teams who are trying to get the superstar player to sign with them, now that he's become a free agent. In an interview with Statehouse reporters, including Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles, Governor Strickland Strickland explains he's continuing his quest to keep LeBron in Cleveland.
