Looking Back on 2012 With The Senate President And Minority Leader

Lawmakers took on some big issues this year, working on bills that addressed so-called puppy mills, animal cruelty, texting while driving, human trafficking, an energy efficiency program run by an Ohio utility, along with the usual questions about taxes and spending. To talk about what got done and what may lie ahead next year, I’m pleased to welcome the leaders of the Ohio Senate, outgoing President Tom Niehaus, a Republican of New Richmond in southwest Ohio, and Minority Leader Eric Kearney, a Democrat of Cincinnati.
