Unions say the result of such a law would simply be the right to work for less pay. We'll update you on efforts to force a November vote and invite you to join our conversation on whether right to work will work for Ohio, Wednesday at 9

Many of us work in places that insist we all work in teams, in offices without walls...where "thinking out loud" and "on the fly" is cherished. But what about those who work best alone, need quite time and think better with advanced notice? Well they have a new voice touting "the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking." A conversation with the author of "Quiet" who speaks up for introverts - the misunderstood and under-appreciated minority. Monday at 9 on 90.3.

Cleveland's latest school reform plan requires special permission from the state legislature, a new set of union rules and an infusion of money through a tax levy. Is it more talk or will there be action that results in real improvement?
