Ohio has a new public safety director, after Cathy Collins-Taylor lost her job in a very public way this week. The politically-charged debate featured emotional and angry comments from Sen. Nina Turner (D-Cleveland), Sen. Tim Grendell (R-Chesterland), Minority Leader Capri Cafaro (D-Hubbard), Sen. Shirley Smith (D-Cleveland), Sen. Keith Faber (R-Celina) and Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati).
Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland issued a statement saying he was disappointed that the Republican-led Senate "was unwilling to set aside partisan political considerations in order to arrive at a fair and just conclusion." But the Republican who led the confirmation hearings says it was a fair process. Sen. Tim Grendell speaks out on what happened.
Ohio was once ranked 15th for the presence of its women in politics. It's now dropped to 32nd, according to the Center for Women and Politics at Rutgers. And though there are currently two executive officeholders who are women, but that will change at the end of this year. And though the major parties have nominated only one woman, though it is almost a certainty that Ohio will have a female lieutenant governor. Talking about the role of women in Ohio politics are Jennifer Brunner is Ohio's Democratic Secretary of State, who most recently ran against Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher in the Democratic primary for US Senate, and Betty Montgomery, former Republican auditor and attorney general who ran for the Republican nomination for governor in 2006.
