If the first week of the game is any indication, the Ohio Lottery says Keno will pay off for the state and the Strickland administration. Ohio killer Richard Cooey says in a lawsuit that he can’t be put to death – because he’s too fat. Gov. Strickland is teaming up Republican leaders again, this time to fight a possible ballot issue on the new payday lending law.

There are less than 100 days left before the nation votes for its new president, and before Ohioans pick their choice not only at the top of the ticket, but will select an attorney general, and will vote on all Ohio House members, some Senators and Supreme Court justices, and at least three and possibly six ballot issues. Previewing the fall campaign are the chair of the Ohio Democratic Party, Rep. Chris Redfern, and the deputy director of the Ohio Republican Party, Kevin DeWine.

A craze that started in the tech and health obsessed Pacific Northwest in 2000 has now spread to Ohio, and the state’s historical sites are getting in on it. There’s treasure hidden in many of them, including Flint Ridge in Licking County east of Columbus. And Todd Tucky with the Ohio Historical Society says hunters can find it through geocaching.
