Meet Senator Cory Booker; Ohio Statehouse Roundup

It's been a rancorous and anger-fueled primary season to date and there's still many months to go before we choose the next president, including what may be a very uncivil contested convention for the Republicans in Cleveland.  

Tonight, a rising political star who, while a firmly partisan Democrat, preaches bipartisanship, will be in Northeast Ohio bringing a message of unity.  Sen. Cory Booker, the junior Senator from New Jersey, will speak to a capacity crowd at the Cuyahoga County Public Library's Parma-Snow branch auditorium at 7 p.m. in an event coordinated with the City Club of Cleveland.

Plus a look at the flurry of attempts to get marijuana legalized in Ohio.
