>> MOST OHIOANS HAVE POWER AGAIN |
| 00:00:41 | AFTER LAST WEEKEND'S POWERFUL
STORMS. |
| 00:00:43 | EXPERTS FOLLOWING THE OIL AND
GAS BOOM IN OHIO DEBATE ITS |
| 00:00:44 | ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
AND THE LONGEST SERVING WOMAN |
| 00:00:49 | JUSTICE ON THE OHIO SUPREME
COURT TALKS ABOUT WHY SHE'S |
| 00:00:51 | LEAVING THE BENCH EARLIER THAN
SHE EXPECTED. |
| 00:00:53 | ALL THIS WEEK IN "THE STATE OF
OHIO." |
| 00:00:55 | CAPTIONED BY THE
NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE |
| 00:00:59 | --WWW.NCICAP.ORG-- |
| 00:01:00 | MOST OF THE MILLION OHIOANS WHO
WERE WITHOUT POWER AS A RESULT |
| 00:01:03 | OF LAST WEEKEND'S VIOLENT
THUNDERSTORMS ARE BACK ON LINE. |
| 00:01:05 | BUT IT WASN'T AN EASY JOURNEY
FOR THEM OR FOR THE UTILITY |
| 00:01:09 | CREWS THAT HAVE WORKED AROUND
THE CLOCK ALL WEEK, AND HAVE |
| 00:01:11 | BATTLED MORE STORMS THAT SET
BACK THEIR PROGRESS. |
| 00:01:14 | FRIDAY'S STORMS BROUGHT WINDS
AS STRONG AS 80 MILES AN HOUR |
| 00:01:17 | -- WHAT SOME CALL A DERECHO OR
"LAND HURRICANE." |
| 00:01:21 | THE STORM UPROOTED TREES AND
YANKED DOWN ANCHES. |
| 00:01:25 | TREES FELL IN A MANSFIELD
CEMETERY, TOPPLING OVER |
| 00:01:29 | HEADSTONES LIKE DOMINOES. POWER
POLES FELL ON A STREET IN |
| 00:01:32 | COLUMBUS, TRAPPING DRIVERS IN
THEIR CARS FOR HOURS. AT ONE |
| 00:01:36 | POINT AFTER THE STORMS LAST
FRIDAY, TWO-THIRDS OF THE STATE |
| 00:01:40 | HAD NO POWER, WITH FRANKLIN
COUNTY THE HARDEST HIT. |
| 00:01:42 | SOME CUSTOMERS WERE TOLD NOT TO
EXPECT TO HAVE ELECTRICITY BACK |
| 00:01:45 | FOR A WEEK DURING WHAT WAS THE
HOTTEST WEEK OF THE YEAR. THAT |
| 00:01:50 | LED THE CHAIR OF THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION TO SAY |
| 00:01:53 | THAT THE AGENCY WILL REVIEW
WHAT LESSONS CAN BE LEARNED FROM |
| 00:01:55 | THE MASSIVE POWER OUTAGES AFTER
PEOPLE GET THEIR SERVICE |
| 00:01:59 | RESTORED.
TODD SNITCHLER SAID ONCE POWER |
| 00:02:02 | IS BACK ON, THE COMMISSION
WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT WHETHER |
| 00:02:04 | UTILITY COMPANIES HAVE BEEN
AGGRESSIVE ABOUT KEEPING TREES |
| 00:02:07 | AWAY FROM LINES AND UPDATING
UTILITY POLES. |
| 00:02:10 | IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR
PRESIDENT OBAMA TO RESPOND TO |
| 00:02:15 | OHIO'S REQUEST FOR EMERGENCY
ASSISTANCE AFTER FRIDAY'S |
| 00:02:18 | STORMS.
THAT BROUGHT PRAISE FROM |
| 00:02:21 | GOVERNOR KASICH AFTER HE MET
WITH AEP CREWS IN COLUMBUS ON |
| 00:02:23 | TUESDAY.
>> I CALLED HIM AND WITHIN 8 |
| 00:02:31 | HOURS, THEY DELIVERED A LOT.
I WAS PLEASED WITH THE RESPONSE. |
| 00:02:36 | THE FACT THAT I KNOW HIM WELL
ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SAY, THIS |
| 00:02:41 | IS REALLY A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND
THEN FEMA CAME IN QUICKLY, WHICH |
| 00:02:47 | IS GOOD.
IT WAS A GOOD, QUICK RESPONSE IN |
| 00:02:50 | A DIFFICULT SITUATION. |
| 00:02:52 | >> PRESIDENT OBAMA CAME TO OHIO
THIS WEEK, FOR A TWO-DAY BUS |
| 00:02:55 | TOUR OF THE BUCKEYE STATE AND
PENNSYLVANIA. |
| 00:02:57 | HIS 250-MILE "BETTING ON
AMERICA" BUS TOUR TOOK HIM |
| 00:03:00 | THROUGH FOUR NORTHERN OHIO
COMMUNITIES WHERE HE RECEIVED |
| 00:03:03 | STRONG SUPPORT IN 2008.
TYPICALLY, WHEN ONE |
| 00:03:06 | PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HAS COME
TO OHIO, THE OTHER HASN'T BEEN |
| 00:03:10 | FAR BEHIND.
BUT THIS TIME, REPUBLICANS |
| 00:03:12 | DISPATCHED LOUISIANA GOVERNOR
BOBBY JINDAL AND FORMER |
| 00:03:15 | MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM PAWLENTY
TO SOME OF THE SAME TOWNS ALONG |
| 00:03:19 | OBAMA'S TOUR TO OFFER A
REBUTTAL. |
| 00:03:20 | AS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD HERE LAST
WEEK, A COALITION IS PUSHING A |
| 00:03:26 | PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE WAY THE
CONGRESSIONAL AND STATE DISTRICT |
| 00:03:28 | MAPS ARE DRAWN.
AND THIS WEEK, VOTERS FIRST |
| 00:03:32 | FILED MORE THAN 430-THOUSAND
SIGNATURES TO PUT ONTO THIS |
| 00:03:35 | FALL'S BALLOT THE PLAN TO HAVE
THE MAPS CREATED BY A 12-MEMBER |
| 00:03:39 | CITIZENS' COMMISSION WITH NO
POLITICIANS, LOBBYISTS OR BIG |
| 00:03:41 | DONORS ALLOWED.
THE GROUP IS STILL COLLECTING |
| 00:03:45 | SIGNATURES WHILE THE SECRETARY
OF STATE'S OFFICE DETERMINES IF |
| 00:03:47 | THE FILING IS SHORT.
MEANWHILE, AN ANTI-ABORTION |
| 00:03:51 | GROUP PUSHING AN AMENDMENT THAT
WOULD DECLARE THAT LIFE BEGINS |
| 00:03:54 | WITH A HUMAN EGG IS FERTILIZED
HAS FALLEN SHORT IN ITS ATTEMPT |
| 00:03:58 | TO PUT IT ON THE BALLOT.
PATRICK JOHNSTON OF PERSONHOOD |
| 00:04:02 | OHIO SAID THE GROUP HAD
COLLECTED ONLY ABOUT 33,000 OF |
| 00:04:06 | THE ROUGHLY 385,000 SIGNATURES
REQUIRED FOR NOVEMBER BALLOTS. |
| 00:04:08 | AND GOVERNOR JOHN KASICH SIGNED
TWO MORE BIG BILLS THIS WEEK. |
| 00:04:12 | HE SIGNED THE PLAN TO OVERHAUL
THE CLEVELAND SCHOOLS ON MONDAY. |
| 00:04:15 | THAT LAW WOULD MAKES SOME
CONTROVERSIAL CHANGES IN THE |
| 00:04:20 | CONTRACT WITH THE CLEVELAND
TEACHERS' UNION AND ALSO ALLOWS |
| 00:04:23 | FOR LEVY MONEY TO BE SHARED
WITH CERTAIN CHARTER SCHOOLS |
| 00:04:25 | THAT PARTNER WITH THE DISTRICT.
AND ON THURSDAY, KASICH |
| 00:04:28 | TRAVELED BACK TO CLEVELAND TO DO
A CEREMONIAL SIGNING OF THE |
| 00:04:32 | MEASURE THAT MAKES CHANGES IN
THE STATE'S TOURISM DEPARTMENT |
| 00:04:35 | AT A POPULAR TOURIST
DESTINATION -- THE ROCK AND ROLL |
| 00:04:37 | HALL OF FAME.
THE MEASURE WILL CREATE |
| 00:04:41 | TOURISMOHIO AS PART OF THE NEW
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AGENCY, |
| 00:04:43 | AND A FIVE YEAR PILOT PROGRAM
WILL LINK FUNDING FOR THAT |
| 00:04:46 | OFFICE TO GROWTH IN SALES TAX
REVENUE FROM TOURISM-RELATED |
| 00:04:48 | INDUSTRIES.
THE STATE'S OIL AND NATURAL GAS |
| 00:04:55 | INDUSTRY IS BOOMING ALONG, AND
NOW HAS NEW RULES AND |
| 00:04:58 | REGULATIONS TO OPERATE UNDER
THANKS TO A PACKAGE OF CHANGES |
| 00:05:02 | SIGNED INTO LAW EARLIER THIS
MONTH. |
| 00:05:03 | BUT GOVERNOR KASICH'S PROPOSAL
TO INCREASE THE SEVERANCE TAX |
| 00:05:07 | ON DRILLERS IS STILL IN LIMBO.
FOR MANY OHIOANS, BOTH WHERE |
| 00:05:10 | THE DRILLING IS BEING DONE AND
OUTSIDE THE AREA, THE IMPACT OF |
| 00:05:14 | THE INDUSTRY ON THE ECONOMY AND
THE ENVIRONMENT ARE CRITICAL |
| 00:05:17 | AND ENTWINED CONCERNS.
LAST WEEK, A PANEL OF EXPERTS |
| 00:05:21 | MET TO DISCUSS THE OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL |
| 00:05:24 | AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF
FRACKING BEFORE THE COLUMBUS |
| 00:05:26 | METROPOLITAN CLUB.
THE PANEL WAS ASKED BY COSI'S |
| 00:05:31 | PRESIDENT AND CEO DAVID
CHESEBROUGH ABOUT THE FUTURE OF |
| 00:05:33 | FRACKING WHEN IT COMES TO THE
ECONOMY, BOTH IN THE IMMEDIATE |
| 00:05:37 | FEW MONTHS AND YEARS AND LONG
DOWN THE ROAD. |
| 00:05:38 | >> WE TALK ABOUT JOBS.
WE KNOW THE BOOM AND BUST WE |
| 00:05:47 | HAVE SEEN.
I AM LOOKING AT USE AN ECONOMIC |
| 00:05:53 | DEVELOPMENT OR ANYONE ELSE.
DOES THE PROMISE OF JOBS AND |
| 00:05:58 | PROMISE OF GOOD TIMES -- IS IT
TRANSIENT? |
| 00:06:03 | SHOULD WE BE LOOKING AT IT AS A
TRANSIENT? |
| 00:06:05 | IS THERE A STICKINESS BACK HERE?
IS THERE SOMETHING THAT LASTS ON |
| 00:06:11 | A LONG-TERM SUSTAINABLE BASIS AS
OPPOSED TO SOMETHING THAT IS THE |
| 00:06:16 | RUSH OF THE MOMENT AND IN 10 OR
15 YEARS, WE ARE BACK INTO AND |
| 00:06:20 | OTHER DEPRESSED AND -- TIME AND
ERA. |
| 00:06:27 | >> OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
GEOPHYSICIST JEFF DANIELS SAID |
| 00:06:31 | THE STATE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT JOBS AND THE ECONOMY |
| 00:06:33 | RELATED TO THE INDUSTRY FOR SOME
TIME. |
| 00:06:34 | >> WE ARE LOOKING AT WHAT I CALL
THE MOTHER LODE. |
| 00:06:41 | THIS IS THE SOURCE ROCK FOR OIL
AND GAS. |
| 00:06:44 | IT IS DOWN THERE AND IT IS
TRAPPED. |
| 00:06:51 | WHERE IT HAS FORMED, IT HAS BEEN
TRAPPED IN THAT SHALE. |
| 00:06:54 | IT IS GOING TO BE A MORE
RELIABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY FOR A |
| 00:07:01 | LONGER PERIOD BAND OF TIME THAT
ANYTHING WE HAVE SEEN. |
| 00:07:03 | IT IS NOT JUST GOING TO BE THE
UTICA. |
| 00:07:09 | PLEASANT SHALE.
THERE IS OTHER SHALE THAT HAS |
| 00:07:11 | POTENTIAL.
>> MIKE SLIVA IS A VICE |
| 00:07:14 | PRESIDENT WITH PNC BANK IN
CADIZ EASTERN OHIO. |
| 00:07:16 | >> I BELIEVE OHIO IS POSITIONED
WELL BECAUSE WE HAVE THE LIQUID |
| 00:07:24 | GAS UNDERNEATH US, THE OIL AND
THE LIQUID GAS, THAT IS WHAT |
| 00:07:30 | THEY ARE CRAVING NOW.
PENNSYLVANIA WAS MORE OF THE DRY |
| 00:07:34 | NATURAL GAS.
THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SEEING A LOT |
| 00:07:36 | OF THE PLAY COMING INTO OUR AREA
NOW. |
| 00:07:41 | WE HAVE AN EVENT IS AND WE HAVE
TO BE READY TO GO. |
| 00:07:44 | -- AN ADVANTAGE AND WE HAVE TO
BE READY TO GO. |
| 00:07:51 | WE ARE PREPARING OURSELVES FOR
THAT. |
| 00:07:54 | WE ARE TRYING TO CONCENTRATE
OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT |
| 00:07:59 | EFFORTS IN ATTRACTING THE
COMPANIES THAT WILL BE HERE LONG |
| 00:08:02 | AFTER THE DRILLING PROCESS IS
DONE. |
| 00:08:03 | >> WE HAVE AN ADVANTAGE AND
WILL PLAY HERE FOR MANY YEARS TO |
| 00:08:08 | COME.
>> BUT OHIO ENVIRONMENTAL |
| 00:08:10 | COUNCIL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR KEITH
DIMOFF SAYS HE'S WORRIED ABOUT |
| 00:08:12 | THE EFFECT ALL THIS ACTIVITY IN
THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY IS |
| 00:08:13 | GOING TO HAVE ON OTHER ENERGY-
RELATED JOBS. |
| 00:08:15 | >> IS IT GOING TO DISCOURAGE
INVESTMENT IN RENEWABLES? |
| 00:08:21 | I WILL ADD A COUPLE CAUTIONARY
NOTES ON THE OPTIMISTIC |
| 00:08:26 | PREDICTIONS THAT SOME COMPANIES
MAKE FOR THEIR OWN FINANCIAL |
| 00:08:29 | BENEFIT.
THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY REDUCED |
| 00:08:33 | BY NEARLY 70% THEIR ESTIMATE OF
THE GAS AVAILABLE FROM MARCELLUS |
| 00:08:41 | SHALE.
THERE IS THE UTICA SHELL |
| 00:08:44 | FORMATION IN THE WESTERN PART OF
THE STATE THAT HAS WET GASES. |
| 00:08:51 | THE LAST THING I WILL LEAVE THE
WHICH IS THAT CHESAPEAKE ENERGY |
| 00:08:54 | HAS BEEN A LARGE PLAYER IN THIS.
IN PENNSYLVANIA, A CHESAPEAKE |
| 00:09:02 | WAS AT THE TOP OF THEIR LIST.
YOU CAN READ IN THE PAPER |
| 00:09:06 | QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER
CHESAPEAKE IS AN INVESTOR IN |
| 00:09:10 | COMMUNITIES OR WHETHER IT IS AND
IN LINE -- ENRON-TYPE |
| 00:09:17 | CORPORATION.
>> TERRY FLEMING IS WITH THE |
| 00:09:19 | OHIO ENERGY RESOURCE ALLIANCE
AND SPEAKS FOR THE DRILLERS. |
| 00:09:20 | HE SAYS THE INDUSTRY WILL HAVE A
HUGE AND LONG-LASTING FOOTPRINT |
| 00:09:22 | IN OHIO.
>> SOME ARE TRANSIENT. |
| 00:09:26 | OTHERS WILL BE PERMANENT.
THEY WILL BE IN THE AREA. |
| 00:09:30 | IF YOU ARE A GOOD CITY PLANNER,
YOU WILL ATTRACT INDUSTRIES THAT |
| 00:09:35 | WILL COME IN BECAUSE OF THE
SHALE, BUT THE DEADLY THEY WILL |
| 00:09:38 | BE ABLE TO STAND ON THEIR OWN.
THE-BUT HE EVENTUALLY, THEY WILL |
| 00:09:43 | BE ABLE TO STAND ON -- BUT HE
EVENTUALLY, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO |
| 00:09:50 | STAND ON THEIR OWN.
SOME JOBS WILL BE TRANSFERRED AS |
| 00:09:54 | WE MOVE FURTHER WEST INTO THE
STATE. |
| 00:09:57 | SOME JOBS, BY THEIR NATURE, ARE
TRANSIENT. |
| 00:10:00 | THERE WILL BE A LOT OF JOBS LEFT
BEHIND. |
| 00:10:03 | >> THERE WILL BE MORE
DEVELOPMENT BEYOND JOBS AND WHAT |
| 00:10:09 | IS HAPPENING AT THE WELLS.
>> AS YOU BRING IN MORE |
| 00:10:13 | EMPLOYEES, THEY ARE GOING TO BE
BUYING THINGS AND PAYING INCOME |
| 00:10:16 | TAXES.
THERE WILL BE PROPERTY TAXES. |
| 00:10:21 | EVERYTHING THEY WILL BE DOING IN
OHIO WILL INCREASE REVENUES FOR |
| 00:10:25 | THE STATE.
THE STATE WILL BENEFIT IN THE |
| 00:10:29 | LONG RUN.
THE IDEA THAT THE STATE OWNS |
| 00:10:31 | THIS AND SHOULD SHARE IN
EVERYTHING IS NOT TRUE. |
| 00:10:34 | WE HAVE LAND OWNERS THAT ONLY
THE MINERAL RIGHTS ON THAT LAND. |
| 00:10:38 | THAT IS THEIR RIGHT AND NOT THE
STATE'S. |
| 00:10:41 | >> GOVERNOR KASICH HAS VOWED TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON A COMPROMISE |
| 00:10:44 | TO GET HIS SEVERANCE TAX
PROPOSAL THROUGH THE |
| 00:10:46 | LEGISLATURE.
AFTER 16 YEARS, THE SECOND |
| 00:10:49 | LONGEST SERVING JUSTICE ON THE
OHIO SUPREME COURT IS IN HER |
| 00:10:51 | FINAL MONTHS ON THE JOB.
JUSTICE EVELYN LUNDBERG |
| 00:10:55 | STRATTON ANNOUNCED A FEW WEEKS
AGO SHE'S LEAVING THE BENCH TO |
| 00:10:58 | FOCUS ON CAUSES SHE FEELS ARE
IMPORTANT TO THE COURT SYSTEM |
| 00:11:00 | OVERALL, SUCH AS MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES AND JUVENILE JUSTICE |
| 00:11:03 | CONCERNS.
THE LONGEST SERVING WOMAN |
| 00:11:07 | JUSTICE ON OHIO'S HIGHEST COURT
SAYS THERE WAS NO SUDDEN REASON |
| 00:11:10 | FOR HER DEPARTURE, BUT SAYS SHE
MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT NOW |
| 00:11:13 | BECAUSE RUMORS WERE CIRCULATING
THAT SHE WAS LEAVING. |
| 00:11:14 | I TALKED WITH JUSTICE STRATTON
ABOUT HER DECISION TO STEP |
| 00:11:20 | DOWN, AND ASKED HER TO EXPAND ON
HER DESIRE TO FOCUS ON THOSE |
| 00:11:21 | ISSUES SHE FEELS ARE CRITICAL TO
THE COURTS IN OHIO AND |
| 00:11:23 | ELSEWHERE.
>> FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS, I HAVE |
| 00:11:32 | WORKED EXTENSIVELY IN THE FIELD
OF MENTAL HEALTH AND THE |
| 00:11:36 | CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
I WAS FRUSTRATED WHEN I WAS A |
| 00:11:39 | TRIAL JUDGE BECAUSE I SAW PEOPLE
HAD MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN MY |
| 00:11:43 | COURT AND I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO
DO WITH THEM. |
| 00:11:45 | THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM WOULD
NOT TAKE THEM IF THEY HAD A |
| 00:11:49 | FELONY.
THE DRUG AND ALCOHOL SYSTEM |
| 00:11:51 | WOULD NOT TAKE THEM IF THEY HAD
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. |
| 00:11:54 | I PUT THEM IN JAIL FOR THEIR
PROTECTION, WHICH WAS THE WORST |
| 00:11:58 | THING I COULD DO FOR THEM.
I DECIDED TO PUT TOGETHER A |
| 00:12:03 | COMMITTEE BECAUSE I HAD HEARD
OF THE MENTAL HEALTH CORP., |
| 00:12:06 | WHICH SEEMED LIKE A BETTER WAY
TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. |
| 00:12:08 | IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO COMMITS
A LOW LEVEL FELONY AND IT IS NOT |
| 00:12:13 | SERIOUS AND THEY ARE GOING TO
GET TWO MONTHS OR PROBATION. |
| 00:12:17 | LET'S SAY YOU PUT THEM ON
PROBATION. |
| 00:12:20 | YOU SAY, YOU NEED TO GET DRUG
AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT AND YOU |
| 00:12:24 | NEED TO GET MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT AND YOU NEED TO GET |
| 00:12:28 | DIAGNOSED.
YOU MIGHT QUALIFY FOR SOCIAL |
| 00:12:31 | SECURITY AND YOU NEED TO HAVE A
JOB. |
| 00:12:33 | YOU LET THEM OUT OF THE DOOR AND
A CYCLE RIGHT BACK INTO THE |
| 00:12:38 | EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE EVERY
OTHER SYSTEM IS MORE EXPENSIVE. |
| 00:12:41 | WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH COURTS,
YOU BRING THAT TEAM TOGETHER AND |
| 00:12:45 | YOU PUT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ON
ONE DAY AND YOU BRING IN A |
| 00:12:49 | MENTAL HEALTH PERSON AND A
HOUSING PERSON AND SAY, WE HAVE |
| 00:12:52 | TO GET THEM DIAGNOSED BEFORE WE
KNOW WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH. |
| 00:12:56 | WE HAVE TO GET THEM OFF OF
ILLEGAL DRUGS BEFORE WE CAN GET |
| 00:12:59 | THEM ON ILLEGAL DRUGS.
THAT TEAM CONCEPT COUPLED WITH |
| 00:13:06 | THE AUTHORITY THAT MAKES THE
DEFENDANT WANTS TO COMPLY MAKES |
| 00:13:09 | A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
I THOUGHT, THIS IS SUCH A BETTER |
| 00:13:13 | WAY.
I PUT A COMMITTEE TOGETHER OF 10 |
| 00:13:15 | PEOPLE.
I HAD NO BUDGET, STAFF, |
| 00:13:19 | TRAINING.
I HAD A BIG TITLE. |
| 00:13:21 | THAT WAS IT.
WHEN I INVITED PEOPLE TO COME TO |
| 00:13:24 | MY MEETING, THEY SAID THEY WOULD
COME TO MY MEETING. |
| 00:13:28 | THAT WAS THE BIRTH OF MY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON MENTAL |
| 00:13:32 | ILLNESS AND THE COURTS.
IT HAS EMERGED INTO THE ATTORNEY |
| 00:13:38 | GENERAL'S TASK FORCE.
THAT IS A SHORT EXPLANATION OF |
| 00:13:41 | HOW I STARTED IN THE WHOLE AREA.
>> YOU ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT |
| 00:13:46 | MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND ISSUES
RELATED TO VETERANS, ESPECIALLY |
| 00:13:49 | THOSE RETURNING FROM IRAQ AND
AFGHANISTAN. |
| 00:13:52 | >> THAT HAPPENS THREE YEARS AGO.
I WAS AT A CONFERENCE IN |
| 00:13:57 | WASHINGTON SPEAKING ON MENTAL
HEALTH. |
| 00:13:58 | I SPOKE TO A GENTLEMAN FROM THE
VA. |
| 00:14:02 | HE SAID, WE ARE GOING TO START
A BETTER AND'S -- AND THAT IRAN |
| 00:14:09 | -- VETERAN'S COURT.
HE DESCRIBED IT AND I SAID, THAT |
| 00:14:17 | IS A MENTAL HEALTH COURT WITH A
BETTER AND -- VETERAN IN IT. |
| 00:14:24 | IT TAKES A LOT TO GET IT GOING.
I SAID, WHY DON'T YOU JOINED THE |
| 00:14:31 | MENTAL HEALTH COURTS MOVEMENT
AND ADD THE VET COMPONENT. |
| 00:14:36 | I WORKED WITH THE VA FOR A
WHILE. |
| 00:14:39 | WE PUT ON A BIG, NATIONAL
CONFERENCE A COUPLE OF YEARS |
| 00:14:44 | AGO, MIT AND A LOT OF THE AID
FOLKS TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL |
| 00:14:48 | HEALTH COURTS -- AND IN LIGHT A
LOT 00 INVITED A LOT THE FOLKS |
| 00:15:03 | TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH
COURTS. |
| 00:15:05 | I HAD SPIED -- BI SPECIALIST TO
CONNECT DEFENDANTS -- FIVE |
| 00:15:13 | SPECIALISTS TO CONNECT PEOPLE
COMING INTO THE MENTAL HEALTH |
| 00:15:18 | COURT.
THEY HIRED THESE PEOPLE AND CAME |
| 00:15:21 | BACK AND THE COURT SYSTEM ASKED
IF THEY WERE A VETERAN. |
| 00:15:29 | THAT STARTED MY THREE YEAR
CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE AND CONNECT |
| 00:15:34 | THE DOTS AND TO GET PEOPLE TO
KNOW WHAT IS OUT THERE AND TO |
| 00:15:36 | GET THEM AWARE THAT THERE IS A
VAST NUMBER OF VA SERVICES. |
| 00:15:43 | WE HAVE TO START WITH, DO YOU
HAVE A MILITARY BACKGROUND? |
| 00:15:47 | IT CANNOT ASK IF THEY ARE
VETERANS. |
| 00:15:52 | OMBAT, THEY
IF THEY ARE NOT IN |
| 00:15:55 | WILL SAY NO.
çóxDWE WILL SAID, DO YOU HAVE |
| 00:16:00 | MILITARY EXPERIENCE.
OUT OF THAT CAME THE WHOLE |
| 00:16:04 | PROJECT ON VETERANS.
>> YOU SAY IT STARTED WHEN YOU |
| 00:16:09 | BROUGHT A GROUP TOGETHER UNDER
YOUR BID TITLE BECAUSE THAT IS |
| 00:16:13 | WHAT YOU HAD GOING FOR YOU.
KEEPING THE BIG TITLE, WOULDN'T |
| 00:16:17 | IT ALLOW YOU TO KEEP WORKING ON
THESE ISSUES? |
| 00:16:20 | WHEN YOU WALK AWAY, DOESN'T THAT
TAKE AWAY SOME OF THE GRAVITY |
| 00:16:23 | YOU BRING TO THIS SUBJECT?
>> THAT WAS THE DEBATE. |
| 00:16:26 | WHAT DO IpX÷ LOSE BY GIVING UP S
TITLE AND WHAT DO I GAIN? |
| 00:16:31 | >> SINCE I HAVE BEEN A JUDGE FOR
23 YEARS, I HAVE ENOUGH WAY TO |
| 00:16:36 | -- WEIGHT AS A FORMER JUSTICE TO
KEEP DOING WHAT I AM DOING. |
| 00:16:43 | IT IS THE WORK THAT I DO THAT IS
MUCH MORE IMPORTANT. |
| 00:16:48 | I HAVE TO SPEND 40-60 HOURS PER
WEEK READING BRIEFS EVERY TWO |
| 00:16:56 | WEEKS.
EVERYONE'S IN A WHILE, WE HAVE |
| 00:17:00 | THREE WEEKS TO READ IT.
FOR 16 -- EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, |
| 00:17:05 | WE HAVE THREE WEEKS TO READ IT.
IF YOU TOOK THE SUMMER OFF, WE |
| 00:17:15 | WOULD STILL HAVE 14 FEET OF
BRIEFS AT THE END OF THE SUMMER. |
| 00:17:19 | I LOOK AT THAT AND I THOUGHT, I
ALWAYS GIVE MY JOB FIRST |
| 00:17:26 | PRIORITY.
I DID NOT WANT THE PEOPLE OF |
| 00:17:29 | OHIO TO SAY YOU GAVE THAT SECOND
CHOICE. |
| 00:17:32 | I ALWAYS GIVE IT THAT TOP
PRIORITY. |
| 00:17:34 | THERE IS A PRICE YOU PAY FOR
THAT. |
| 00:17:37 | I GO TO THE DENTIST'S OFFICE AND
t(xDI READ BETWEEN THE DENTIST G |
| 00:17:42 | OUT OF THE ROOM.
I SAID, WHAT DO I GIVE UP? |
| 00:17:45 | I GIVE UP ALL OF THAT TIME
COMMITMENT AND I GAINED THE |
| 00:17:49 | ABILITY TO REALLY FOCUS ON THIS.
BECAUSE I THINK I HAVE DONE IT |
| 00:17:54 | LONG ENOUGH, IF YOU KEEP YOUR
TITLE OF JUSTICE FOR THE REST OF |
| 00:17:58 | YOUR LIFE.
I HOPE PEOPLE WILL STILLxD RETUN |
| 00:18:01 | MY PHONE CALLS.
I THINK THEY WILL. |
| 00:18:03 | IT WILL GIVE ME THE FREEDOM TO
NOT HAVE THE AT THE RESTRAINTS. |
| 00:18:07 | I AM LIMITED IN WHAT I CAN
ADVOCATE FOR. |
| 00:18:11 | xDTHE ETHICAL RULES -- YOU HAVEO
BE CAREFUL TO STAY WITHIN THE |
| 00:18:17 | ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.
WHEN I LOOKED AT ALL A BIT, THE |
| 00:18:20 | ONLY THING I GAVE UP WAS THE
EGO -- ALL OF IT, THE ONLY |
| 00:18:28 | THING I GAVE UP WAS THE EAGLE
STROKING OF BEING A JUDGE. |
| 00:18:30 | xD>> WHY RETIRE NOW -- EGO
STROKING. |
| 00:18:39 | >> WHY RETIRED NOW INSTEAD OF IN
2015? |
| 00:18:44 | >> I HAD TO SHUT DOWN ALL MY
ADVOCACY WORK AND CAMPAIGN AND I |
| 00:18:51 | FEEL LIKE I GIVE UP A LOT OF
GROUND ON THE WORK I DO. |
| 00:18:53 | THEN I STARTED THINKING, IF
SOMEBODY WERE TO COME TO ME WITH |
| 00:19:00 | A CONSULTING JOB ON A NATIONAL
SCALE EARLIER, IT STARTS |
| 00:19:04 | SNOWBALLING.
SOME THINGS STARTED HAPPENING. |
| 00:19:08 | THE NUMBER OFq
WITH POST TRAUMATIC STRESS |
| 00:19:16 | INJURIES -- THAT STARTED
SNOWBALLING. |
| 00:19:19 | THE DEATHS -- I HAD A GOOD
FRIEND WHO WAS A DEFENSE |
| 00:19:27 | ATTORNEY I KNEW.
HE BECAME THE CHIEF COUNSEL TO |
| 00:19:30 | THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN'S
SERVICES. |
| 00:19:36 | HE WAS KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN
ALMOST A MONTH AGO. |
| 00:19:39 | IT WAS LIKE, I CANNOT WAIT AND
JUST FINISH THIS JOB. |
| 00:19:44 | WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO
ALL OF THESE VETS IN THE |
| 00:19:51 | MEANTIME.
THEY CANNOT WAIT. |
| 00:19:52 | I SAT DOWN WITH MY HUSBAND AND
HAD A LONG TALK. |
| 00:19:57 | HE IS SUPPORTIVE.
I PULLED THE PLUG EARLY. |
| 00:20:01 | >> DO YOU FEEL YOU OWE IT TO THE
PARTY WITH THE COURT TO STEP |
| 00:20:07 | ASIDE A LITTLE EARLIER SO THAT
SOMEBODY YOU CAN GET ON AND GET |
| 00:20:11 | THE GROUND UNDER HIM OR HER
BEFORE THEY HAVE TO START |
| 00:20:14 | RUNNING A STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN?
>> I DID NOT FEEL I OWE IT TO |
| 00:20:19 | ANYBODY.
DOING IT NOW, IT HIT THE COURT |
| 00:20:23 | SCHEDULE AND DID NOT MESS UP THE
COURT SCHEDULE. |
| 00:20:25 | WE HAVE THREE PEOPLE RUNNING FOR
OFFICE. |
| 00:20:27 | WE HAVE0L SET THE COURSE SCHEDS
SO THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO WRITE |
| 00:20:32 | ALL OF OUR OPINIONS AND HAVE
EVERYTHINGWn -- COURTS SCHEDULE- |
| 00:20:37 | COURTfá SCHEDULES SO THAT WE WIL
BE ABLE TO WRITE ALL OUR |
| 00:20:44 | OPINIONS AND HAVE EVERYTHING OUT
THE DOOR BY OCTOBER 31. |
| 00:20:46 | IF I PICKED A DIFFERENT TIMING,
THEY WOULD HAVE TO HIRE A |
| 00:20:51 | VISITING JUDGE TO FILL IN.
YOU HAVE TOxD PAY A VISITING JUE |
| 00:20:55 | TO FILL IN.
I DID NOT WANT TO CREATE THAT |
| 00:20:58 | DESTRUCTION.
BY GIVING THEM TWO YEARS ON THE |
| 00:21:02 | JOB -- I WAS APPOINTED IN MARCH
AND I HAD TO RUN IN NOVEMBER. |
| 00:21:06 | I WISH THAT ON NOBODY.
IT DOES GIVE THEM TIME TO LEARN |
| 00:21:11 | THE JOB BEFORE THEY HAVE TO RUN.
>> THE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHO YOU |
| 00:21:16 | LIKE TO -- YOU WOULD LIKE TO
SEE IN A POSITION? |
| 00:21:20 | >> I HAVE A BEST FRIEND WHO
DECIDED THE TIMING WAS NOT RIGHT |
| 00:21:24 | FOR HER.
WHEN I MET WITH THE GOVERNOR I |
| 00:21:28 | SAID, I DO NOT.
I DO NOT FEEL THAT THERE ARE THE |
| 00:21:33 | GOOD JUDGES THAT GET APPEALED.
I DO NOT KNOW WHO IS GOOD AND |
| 00:21:36 | WHO IS OUT THERE.
I DO NOT WORK WITH THEM AT THAT |
| 00:21:40 | LEVEL.
THE GOVERNOR MADE A COMMITMENT |
| 00:21:43 | TO ME.
HIS WORDS WERE, I WILL FIND |
| 00:21:46 | SOMEONE SO ABOVE APPROACH AND SO
QUALIFIED THAT EVERYONE WILL SAY |
| 00:21:49 | THAT WAS A GOOD CHOICE.
>> NOW THAT YOU WILL NOT BE |
| 00:21:53 | RUNNING ANOTHER STATE CAMPAIGN
FOR JUSTICE, HOW DIFFICULT IS IT |
| 00:21:57 | TO CAMPAIGN AND FUND-RAISING YOU
ARE A JUSTICE, WHEN YOU ARE IN |
| 00:22:02 | THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM -- AND
FRUNDRAISExD WHEN YOU ARE A |
| 00:22:09 | JUSTICE -- FUNDRAISE WHEN YOU
ARE A JUSTICE IN THE JUDICIAL |
| 00:22:18 | JUSTICE SYSTEM?
>> I WANT TO KEEP MY |
| 00:22:23 | CONNECTIONS.
TO ME, IT IS A TOTALLY CONSUMING |
| 00:22:26 | EFFORT TO GET OUT THERE.
>> ISN'T IT DIFFICULT BECAUSE |
| 00:22:30 | YOU CANNOT SPEAK ON ISSUES?
YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT THE CASES |
| 00:22:33 | YOU REALLY LIKE.
YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT ANY OF |
| 00:22:38 | THIS STUFF.
>> I TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH |
| 00:22:41 | EVERYWHERE I GO.
I DO NOT CARE WHAT SPEECH I |
| 00:22:44 | GIVE.
I AM INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT |
| 00:22:47 | MENTAL HEALTH COURTS.
I HAVE A WHOLE PACKET OF |
| 00:22:52 | MATERIALS.
EVERY TIME I GO TO THE MEDIA, I |
| 00:22:55 | SAY, HERE IS CIT.
YOU NEED TO GET IT IN YORK |
| 00:23:01 | COUNTY.
I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE NEARLY |
| 00:23:03 | AS FAR ALONGfá IN OHIO IF I WAST
FORCED BY A CAMPAIGN TO GO TO |
| 00:23:08 | ALL OF THESE COUNTIES.
EVERY COUNTY AND WENT TO, I WAS |
| 00:23:12 | ARMED WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION
ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS AND |
| 00:23:15 | THE NEED FOR DRUG COURTS.
IF I WERE JUST CAMPAIGNINGÑpJz |
| 00:23:22 | EVE STRATTON, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
BAD. |
| 00:23:27 | BUT I HAD A CHANCE TO SHOW
PEOPLE WHAT THEY CAN DO IN THEIR |
| 00:23:31 | COMMUNITY.
>> THE PARTISAN LABEL ON THE |
| 00:23:34 | COURT -- DOES IT MAKE IT HARDER
FOR YOU AS A JUSTICE? |
| 00:23:37 | >> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
DESPITE THE MEDIA LIKING TO |
| 00:23:42 | LABEL US, WE TAKE OUR ROLE AS
NON-PARTISAN EXTREMELY |
| 00:23:46 | SERIOUSLY.
IF ANYONE BEGINS TO MENTION ANY |
| 00:23:49 | PARTY POLITICS, IF WE SHUT THEM
DOWN. |
| 00:23:52 | WE DO NOT THINK THAT WAY.
I CAN POINT TO SOME EXAMPLES |
| 00:23:56 | WHERE THE MEDIA SAYS, THE
REPUBLICAN COURT DOES X. |
| 00:24:01 | THEN WE WOULD DO THE OPPOSITE.
WE HAD SEVERAL RULINGS IN FAVOR |
| 00:24:07 | OF JENNIFER BRUNER.
SO IT IS A BIAS IN THE |
| 00:24:17 | NEWSPAPERS.
THEY LIKE TO MAKE THE HEADLINES. |
| 00:24:19 | WE TAKE THAT ROLE SERIOUSLY.
WHEN GOVERNOR STRICKLAND WAS IN |
| 00:24:26 | OFFICE -- I DID NOT TALK ABOUT
THIS DURING THE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE |
| 00:24:29 | I NEVER WANTED TO BE TRADED
TRUST IN ME. |
| 00:24:32 | AT THE END OF HIS TENURE, I MET
WITH NINE CABINET DIRECTORS AND |
| 00:24:39 | WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
QUARTERLY TO WORK ON MENTAL- |
| 00:24:43 | HEALTH ISSUES.
TO HAVE THAT LEVEL OF TRUST |
| 00:24:45 | BETWEEN HIS ADMINISTRATION AND
ME, I WAS HONORED BY IT. |
| 00:24:51 | I NEVER WANTED TO USE IT AS A
CAMPAIGN ISSUE. |
| 00:24:55 | THE GOVERNOR TRUST ME AS A
REPUBLICAN JUSTICE. |
| 00:24:58 | , A JUSTICE ISSUES ARE
NONPARTISAN. |
| 00:25:02 | WHENUgx YOU LOOK AT THEe
CRIMINAL-JUSTICE ISSUES ARE |
| 00:25:09 | NONPARTISAN.
ALMOST EVERY REPUBLICAN AND |
| 00:25:14 | EVERY DEMOCRAT IN THE
LEGISLATURE VOTED FOR REFORMS I |
| 00:25:19 | HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN.
IT IS A NON-PARTISAN ISSUE. |
| 00:25:23 | >> YOU SAY YOU ARE NOT GOING
AWAY. |
| 00:25:26 | IS THERE A POSSIBILITY YOU WOULD
RUN FOR ANOTHER POSITION? |
| 00:25:30 | >> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I WOULD BE SO GLAD TO GET RID OF |
| 00:25:34 | ALL THESE REPORTING Ar-- THIS
REPORTING AND RESTRICTIONS AND |
| 00:25:38 | JUST WORK ONpyu THIS WITHOUT THE
RESTRICTIONS. |
| 00:25:40 | >> STRATTON WAS APPOINTED TO THE
HIGH COURT IN 1996. HER CURRENT |
| 00:25:44 | THE BEGINNING OF 2015.
