Ohio executes a condemned killer, the fifth one to put to death since the state started using a single drug for lethal injection. But this time there are some concerns about whether the inmate suffered before he died. Early voting is well underway, but Ohioans finally saw their first primary ads on TV this week. The wife of former Attorney General Marc Dann files for divorce, and faces a state ethics charge. The state is extending its program giving out federal stimulus dollars for buying energy-saving appliances.
A state panel gave Ohio the green light to accept $25 million dollars in federal money to start a study of the proposed passenger railway that will connect Ohio's major cities. But it didn't happen without a fight. As the vote goes down strictly along party lines, ODOT director Jolene Molitoris defends the 3C train plan to critics.
Ohio is promising that if it's a winner in the latest round of Race To The Top funding, it will pass more of the money along to school districts. Ohio was 10th out of 16th in the running for the Race To The Top funds, and lost points in its presentation for the way the state deals with teachers and unions, and about the lack of specifics in certain areas. State Reps. Gerald Stebelton (R-Lancaster) and Steven Dyer (D-Green) share their thoughts on why they think Ohio lost the funding and what can be done to improve the state's score before the next deadline June 1.
Arts advocates - who are still reeling from major cuts in last year's state budget - gathered this week in Columbus to celebrate the Governor's Awards for the Arts. This year's winners of the Governor's Awards for the Arts include Kevin Moore and Marsha Hanna of the Human Race Theatre in Dayton, music educator Sylvia Easley of the Music Settlement in Cleveland, patrons Jim and Enid Goubeaux of Greenville, American Electric Power, Columbus poet Andrew Hudgins,and Donna Sue Groves of Manchester along the Ohio River.
And there's now a website that hopes to serve as a permanent place for information, photos, videos, documentaries and news reports about the Kent State shootings, to give visitors an opportunity to witness the shootings as they happened and to hear and see the aftermath. The website www.kentstate1970.org was created by public radio station WKSU in Kent.
