Leveling the Credit Card Playing Field
The Sound of Ideas: Monday, February 22, 2010
Monday is the day the world of credit cards changes. The changes are fairly substantial and a long time coming, according to consumer advocates. The new federal law provides greater consumer protections on when and how credit card companies can change interest rates, when they can impose fees, how payments are applied to debt, and it will now be much easier for cardholders to see how long it will take to pay off a bill if they only make the minimum payment. As the new rules go into effect Monday morning at 9, join Plain Dealer Consumer Affairs Columnist Sheryl Harris for an on-air user's guide to the Credit CARD Act.

Show 1008
State of Ohio: Friday, February 19, 2010
There’s a striking new addition to the historic and powerful works of art at the Statehouse. It’s a portrait of Benjamin O. Davis Jr., the African American general in the US Air Force. General Davis was from Ohio, and was one of the original members of a trailblazing group that helped bring integration to the military. The Tuskegee Airmen were launched in World War II, and were the first African Americans to fly combat aircraft. The fighter group was awarded 100 distinguished flying crosses and eventually the Congressional Gold Medal. A handful of Ohio Tuskegee Airmen, including Hilton Carter and Robert Peeples, came out in the snow to celebrate the portrait of General Davis, painted by Paul Tepper from the Columbus College of Art and Design.
