The Sound of Ideas: Monday, August 6, 2007

It's back in the state legislature, and maybe, now, its time has come. You're invited to join us for a look at this latest proposal for a Massachusetts-style insurance mandate, and we'll analyze its chances of political success in the Buckeye State.

Monday morning at nine.
