Urban League Endorses Multi-Million Dollar Plan To Revitalize Communities

Turner says, "In order to keep up with population, we need to create 125 jobs per month -- and that is why it is imperative that government steps in, and that we do our part."

Morial says, "The Urban League is not a think tank, not a talk tank, but a do tank."

It’s not clear if this plan will move in the legislature. The Democrats pushing this measure are outnumbered by majority Republicans in both the Ohio House and Senate -- but the Democrats insist they’ve included suggestions from groups on the right, left, and center of the political spectrum.
