The State of Ohio - Stephanie Tubbs Jones; Turning Around Ohio; Statehouse Reporters
HEADLINES: Democrats throughout Ohio are mourning the loss of the first African-American woman to represent Ohio in Congress. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, 58, died after she suffered a brain hemorrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm as she was driving her car on the east side of her Cleveland-area district. As the Democratic National Convention gets underway in Denver, Republican rival John McCain is planning on coming back to Ohio - and could announce his vice presidential pick here. Nearly 200 people packed an Ohio legislative meeting in southwest Ohio this week to hear testimony on the impact of DHL plans to switch to UPS cargo delivery. The move would cost an estimated 8,000 jobs based in Wilmington, and lawmakers from both parties and at all levels have been urging DHL to reconsider. The state's chief elections office has ordered boards of elections in 23 counties to stop the practice nicknamed "sleepovers" - where poll workers take voting machines home before the vote to save time and money on election day. The Attorney General is implementing a no-nonsense e-mail policy in her office, taking aim at one source of trouble for her predecessor. The two major party candidates for the attorney general's office are sparring over plans for an anti-corruption commission.
ROUNDTABLE SEGMENT 1: We're more than two years into Gov. Ted Strickland's term, which he won by campaigning that he would "turn around Ohio". But the state's leading conservative think tank - The Buckeye Institute - says it has some ideas on turning around Ohio as well. On the program to talk about their ideas on changing the direction of the state's economy are the president of the Buckeye Institute, David Hansen; and Dr. Richard Vedder, economics professor at Ohio University and a research adviser for the Buckeye Institute.
ROUNDTABLE SEGMENT 2: It's the middle of summer and an election year, and yet it was a busy week at the Statehouse. For an update on what's been happening are veteran Statehouse broadcast reporters Bill Cohen and John Damschroder.
