This week on "The State of Ohio": The budget is on its way to a committee that will hammer out the differences before the end of the month deadline. But there are serious issues on both sides that could slow down the talks. A billion dollars is headed back to Ohio employers who paid into the states Bureau of Workers' Comp program. But a critic says the BWC has an outstanding bill that remains unpaid. And more on how Ohio's poorest people are surviving the rising costs of a basic existence.

A buckeye tree now stands on the Statehouse lawn as a tribute to Ohioans who have become organ and tissue donors. The tree was planted not only to honor those gifts, but to encourage others to consider doing the same. Scott Kinker of Jackson was a lifelong diabetic and on a waiting list for a kidney and a pancreas when he got a call in 2002. The organs came from Lindsay Jones, a 17 year old from suburban Columbus who died of a brain aneurysm. Her father Ron and stepmother Laura were also at the Statehouse ceremony. 24-hundred Ohioans are on waiting lists for organ transplants. |
