2011 Ohio Budget Hole Could Be Whopper

Ohio's current state budget is being propped up with several billion dollars from the federal government.
Some critics say that means next year, when a new budget needs to be fashioned, it will have a multi-billion dollar hole, because the federal money will evaporate. But Governor Ted Strickland says that's not necessarily true.
As Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen reports, he is seeking a renewal of that federal bail-out.
