HEADLINES: The governor claimed he could crush the state's budget crunch without raising taxes or dipping into the rainy day fund. But he never promised there wouldn't be pain. Now he's revealing what he has planned.
There are some creative ideas for raising new money for the state, including a proposal some find controversial and contradictory.
ROUNDTABLE SEGMENT: The numbers of babies born too early have been rising for the last 30 years, and many of those premature babies die or are doomed to lifelong health problems. The March of Dimes Ohio has recruited lawmakers and health experts to create what it's calling the Ohio Prematurity Caucus to increase awareness about premature births. The chair of that campaign is Dr. Jay Iams, a professor at Ohio State University and an expert in high-risk and early births, and State Senator Keith Faber of Celina, one of the more than 20 lawmakers who is part of the "prematurity caucus".
