HEADLINES:
Keno, the new game from the Ohio Lottery will debut in more than a thousand bars, restaurants, racetracks, bowling alleys, fraternal clubs and other establishments on August 4. The payday lending industry has to act quickly to get onto the fall ballot, and a group representing the lenders is now filing a lawsuit against the Ohio Attorney General, saying she's keeping them from gathering the signatures they need to get that ballot issue before voters. An investment adviser has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for fraud in the loss of $216 million by Ohio's agency for injured workers. Newly installed state Rep. Thomas Heydinger (D-Norwalk) says he won't run for the seat to which he was appointed and sworn in on May 21.
FEATURE SEGMENT: Ohio is becoming the first state to offer in-state prices on college tuition for nearly all military veterans. The state is hoping to lure more students with a new program, specifically for veterans eligible for education benefits under the GI Bill. It's called the Ohio GI Promise, and Board of Regents Chancellor Eric Fingerhut says it changes the residency requirements for veterans who want to go to college in Ohio - from anywhere.
ROUNDTABLE SEGMENT: Dogs are pals, protectors, playmates, prized possessions...and in some instances, they're dangerous weapons. A handful of cities ban pit bulls, including Cincinnati, Youngstown, and several suburbs. Toledo has a limit of one pit bull per household, a regulation that was upheld by the Ohio Supreme Court last year. Other cities have tried to ban them, only to have public hearings packed with pit-bull lovers bearing pictures of their pets. Here to talk about this issue and proposed legislation is Rep. Tyrone Yates (D-Cincinnati), who joins us from the facilities of WCET in Cincinnati; and Dean Vickers, Ohio State Director of the Humane Society of the United States.
