Breaking down Obama’s bill

WASHINGTON (AP) – It took lawmakers a year to shape President Barack Obama's health care bill. If it finally passes Congress, it'll take the better part of a decade to write the user manual for consumers and doctors, employers and insurance companies.
Some health insurance consumer protections would go into place immediately, significant but limited in scope. The big expansion in coverage comes in four years. About 25 million people would sign up, with most getting tax credits to help pay premiums. Ripple effects continue well after Obama has to leave office in 2017, if he's re-elected.

Bill will make it easier to prove innocence

COLUMBUS – The Ohio House of Representatives Tuesday approved legislation to further expand the use of DNA testing. The bill will make it easier for the wrongly accused to prove their innocence, and enhance public confidence in the fairness of Ohio’s criminal justice system. Senate Bill 77 was approved by a vote of 85-7.
“Today is a great day for Justice,” said Rep. W. Carlton Weddington, who sponsored companion legislation in the House. “This historic piece of legislation could save the lives of the wrongfully accused and convicted as well as those who might meet their untimely demise because the true perpetrator still runs lose."
