Legislature Kills Texting Ban

A proposal to ban texting while driving and hand violators $150 traffic tickets appears to be dead in the Ohio legislature. State representatives okayed the idea back in March, but state senators are not moving the bill toward a floor vote, and the current two-year legislative session is nearing an end. Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen reports.
