Consumers have put more than 40 million telephone numbers onto the new “do-not-call” list the federal government is setting up. Starting October 1, telemarketers are supposed to check the list and not call any of the numbers on it. Ohio legislators are considering having the Buckeye State set up its own do-not-call list to augment the national list. Critics of both projects are warning the new limits will force telemarketers to layoff millions of workers across the nation, and thousands here in Ohio. Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen reports. |
