HEADLINES: The Secretary of State says the payday lenders have fallen 56,000 signatures short in their bid to put onto the ballot the state law that cracked down on the industry. The quick-loan industry now has 10 days to make up the difference. But the ballot issue that would open the door to expanded gambling through a huge casino in Wilmington has been certified for the ballot, and big money is coming into the casino issue from both sides. A few weeks ago on this program we told you about how experts at the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation try to weed out big marijuana operations in Ohio, and this week they nailed one - more than 5,000 plants worth more than 5 million dollars.
ROUNDTABLE SEGMENT 1: For most of the state, the power is back on, trees have been cut down, and other damage has been taped up after last week's windstorms that left nearly 2 million Ohio households without electricity. And now the state's emergency management experts, including safety director Henry Guzman and EMA executive director Nancy Dragani, are reviewing what happened. And they're warning Ohioans to examine how ready they are for the unexpected.
ROUNDTABLE SEGMENT 2: For many political junkies, blogs are supplementing or even replacing talk radio and the op/ed page as the source for information backing up one's political perspective. Here to talk about the impact and influence of bloggers in Ohio are Eric Vessels from Plunderbund.com, a progressive blog, and Daniel Jack Williamson from the more conservative BuckeyeRINO.wordpress.com.
