The state inspector general says the lieutenant governor made mistakes by hiring the wife of Columbus mayor Michael Coleman, who resigned under fire June 8. And Frankie Coleman could face charges and be ordered to repay the state nearly 25-hundred dollars for the hours she didn’t work but for which she was paid. Former Sen. Jeffry Armbruster (R-North Ridgeville) could also face charges, following a report that says he abused his office trying to get a break for his businesses. Governor Strickland says he’ll veto the bill that would allow gamblers to bet on pre-recorded horse races, if it gets through the legislature. And Senators unanimously approve Strickland’s $52 billion budget. Two longtime legislators - Sen. Tim Grendell (R-Chesterland) and Sen. Ray Miller (D-Columbus) talk about the vote.
