[00:00:00] Chris: In lots of properties at this time, it’s a celebration of Cinco de Mayo in my house. It’s a celebration on my spouse’s birthday, and it’s a milestone one she’s not very glad about, which jogs my memory of a film line. It says, time is a predator that stalk us via our days once we ought to consider it as a companion, reminding us to cherish each second as a result of they won’t come once more.

I’ve cherished each second along with her Completely happy Birthday and glad Cinco de Mayo. Let’s get to the information. The reply was at all times so apparent, however so many individuals tried to dam it through the years eventually it’s right here. Laura, what’s the excellent news for individuals who have been searching for to cease farm runoff from inflicting enormous blooms of algae in Lake Erie close to Toledo?

[00:00:45] Laura: That is large information. Ohio is lastly going to must restrict the phosphorus that flows into the lake. So environmentalists have been pushing for this for years. The Lucas County Commissioners and the Environmental Regulation and Coverage Heart sued the Ohio E P A in [00:01:00] 2017 and federal courtroom to begin this case. After which on Thursday, decide James Carr dominated.

That the Ohio EPA a should submit a ultimate plan to restrict phosphorous runoff into the Mommy River watershed, to the usE P A by June thirtieth. The united statesE P A has 90 days to approve it. That is referred to as a TM D L for a complete most day by day load. And if the usC A P A doesn’t prefer it, they’ll create their very own, after which Lucas County Commissioners and the Environmental Regulation and Coverage Heart can come again in the event that they don’t assume it’s excessive sufficient.

However Carr had fairly sturdy language he mentioned. That, and this can be a consent decree. I imply, I feel folks know that phrase, these two phrases collectively once we’re speaking about, um, the police with a federal settlement, , with Cleveland or one thing. However they’ve them with water techniques. They’ve, anytime a federal authorities says you gotta do that to an area authorities, so, Um, he says that is the ultimate chapter of the plaintiff’s persistent unyielding quest to acquire joint dedication from the e p A within the state to undertake a [00:02:00] essential first step towards the restoration of the Lake Erie’s Western Basin.

As a result of till now, Ohio, and , Mike DeWine has put hundreds of thousands of {dollars} towards this. It’s been a very voluntary plan. Like, please, farmers achieve this, do the correct factor, put in drainage tiles, plant cowl crops, as a result of we don’t wanna pollute our

[00:02:17] Chris: lake. I keep in mind early within the John Kasik administration when he was governor, I feel Eva was in our workplace once we have been speaking to him about this, and we have been asking about it as a result of the, there’s little question about what has induced this.

It’s phosphorus runoff. It at all times was. And he was in our faces saying, ah, the science isn’t clear about that, and I’m by no means going to approve a restrict on phosphorus. The agricultural foyer, I suppose like each single foyer in Ohio Yeah. Is so highly effective that we weren’t doing the correct factor for years and years and years.

And even DeWine Wimpy, Mike DeWine makes it voluntary. It’s unhappy to me that it took Lucas County Commissioners suing the state authorities to do its rattling job and a [00:03:00] decide to in. Pressure order. Why couldn’t the federal government do the correct factor all alongside? As a result of they’re within the pocket of lobbyists precisely as we see time and again.

We’re seeing it within the constitutional modification. We see it in the whole lot they do down there. This might have been prevented 20 years in the past, and right here we’re.

[00:03:18] Laura: Yeah. I imply, Ohio in 2015 signed a cope with Michigan and Ontario to say, we’re gonna restrict the phosphorus, we’re gonna scale back it by 40%. They’re nowhere near doing that.

And, and it, it’s very unhappy as somebody who loves the lake and, and simply as an Ohioan that we’ve simply allowed this air pollution to proceed to be clear. Phosphorus comes from fertilizer and it comes from manure. And while you put it on the bottom, particularly when there’s laborious rains, and we get an increasing number of of these with local weather change that runs into the watershed, this little streams that then run into the mommy river after which run into lake space, and that’s the place the vast majority of the phosphorus comes into the lake.

Though the vast majority of our water comes from the Detroit River, that’s not an enormous [00:04:00] port level of the air pollution. So it’s all these farms. It’s in northwest Ohio, it’s in Indiana and a few in Michigan. That pollutes the lake after which it creates this enormous mat of. Gum all the best way from, , Toledo to the Erie Islands, the place you take a look at these photos, it seems to be like a science fiction film, proper?

As a result of the water is like lime gross, inexperienced, proper? And it stinks and it’s poisonous. And in 2014 it really, you couldn’t drink the water in Toledo for days.

[00:04:28] Chris: I thi that is one that would have been solved a very long time in the past. And other people say, oh, however what in regards to the farmers? What in regards to the farmers? Effectively, the farmers are polluting the lake, so Proper.

One thing needs to be finished. Once I lived in Florida, there’s this big lake down there in central Florida referred to as Lake Apaka. And the identical factor had occurred there for years. Big runoff. It turned it into only a feted stew. It was a catastrophe. And the state ended up shopping for all of the farms round it. And I used to be down there a couple of years in the past and I used to be amazed at how briskly the turnaround occurred.

It’s this [00:05:00] big nature park the place you’ll be able to see, All kinds of birds and, and alligators and the whole lot as a result of the state did one thing about it. It’s like, okay, we don’t wanna hurt the farmers. We’ll purchase their farms. We’ll protect it and we’ll take this gigantic lake that’s poisonous and repair it. Ohio needs to be doing one thing related as an alternative.

John Kasik, Mike DeWine, all the legislature, they’ve finished nothing. Affirmative to, to cease these farms from polluting.

[00:05:29] Laura: And I, I do wanna clarify, clearly there are household farmers and, and it’s laborious to make a dwelling farming my each b each side of my mother and father come from farm generations, however there’s a whole lot of large confined feeding operations that we’re speaking about too, the place they only have piles of animal manure that simply will get unfold on floor, generally frozen and doesn’t do something.

They only must do away with all of the poop. From like a whole lot of animals that they’ve co cooped up, , for, for meals sources. So while you assume farmers and , it’s a really [00:06:00] Americana, proper? Like no person needs to harm the farmers. These are firms.

[00:06:04] Chris: Proper. It’s the agricultural foyer. What’s going to be unhappy is that if the dewy administration, as an alternative of doing what the decide says, in the event that they attraction it, um, which they might, they might go to a federal appeals courtroom, who is aware of you’re listening to at this time in Ohio.

The younger upstart beat the veterans supported by the institution. No, we’re not in a time warp speaking about Justin BIB’s defeat of Kevin Kelly within the Cleveland’s Mayor’s race in 2021. We’re speaking about Akron Lisa who gained, who misplaced and what to make of all of it.

[00:06:37] Lisa: I feel it’s fantastic. I feel we’re lastly seeing an on-ramp for youthful, extra various folks in areas of management.

So first time period, Akron Metropolis Councilman and legal professional. Ash Shama Malik, I consider that’s the way it’s pronounced, is the presumptive winner and a seven-way mayoral race in Akron. He had an early lead and he by no means gave it up. All the evening. Um, he bought [00:07:00] 43.2% of the vote far behind him with a 17 level deficit was, uh, deputy mayor of Intergovernment Intergovernmental Affairs, Marco Somerville, a longtime Akron Politico.

Quantity three was Akron Councilwoman. Tara Mosley was 17 level a half p.c of the vote. So Malik is the primary particular person of colour to steer Akron’s 190,000 residents in its 200 12 months historical past. And he did wait. Till all of the precincts have been counted on election evening earlier than he gave his victory speech and he was launched by his Aunt Mary.

He mentioned that, uh, , you’ve despatched a message loud and clear and alter is coming. Malik additionally raised a document $400,000 in his marketing campaign and 100 thousand of that simply within the final two weeks earlier than the election. He had 70 volunteers canvassing the town on election day with a ultimate attraction to voters on the polls.

[00:07:51] Chris: What was attention-grabbing about that is as quickly as Horrigan mentioned, I’m not working once more, he endorsed Somerville. It, it was like, [00:08:00] however let’s put the repair in instantly and let’s not let the folks resolve. The institution bought behind Somerville. It was similar to what occurred when Kevin Kelly ran for Romero.

The entire institution of Cleveland was behind him, and but Justin bib tranced him, and that occurred. Right here as effectively. Mm-hmm. That, that, that the persons are fed up with the outdated guard. They clearly need new concepts. You could have, you might have the same state of affairs in Cincinnati. You participated within the editorial board interview of the candidates, and what was your take away from that?

[00:08:30] Lisa: Effectively, I, , we at all times take a ballot on the finish of the interview and , say who we like and I feel all of us picked Malik as our primary selection. I do know that I did, I feel he got here out very sturdy on, he was speaking about growing a thousand metropolis owned, vacant tons for infill improvement. He was, he was actually, uh, he really introduced it to the.

4, the topic in regards to the Akron Police Division, which is crumbling, and , they’re speaking about both renovating or changing, and he says, I feel we want [00:09:00] to exchange it.

[00:09:01] Chris: The, the Democratic Celebration in Ohio, as we’ve talked about many occasions, is a catastrophe. They don’t have any bench, however with what you’re seeing within the cities proper now, these younger, energetic, progressive thinkers taking the positions, this might be the way forward for.

Politics in Ohio. It’s thrilling to see, , we, we’ve been speaking about Justin Bibb this 12 months in his second 12 months. Now that he’s bought his footing, he’s proposing some very daring, progressive concepts that might be change, , change worthy of the, for the town. Are we gonna see the identical factor in Akron in a 12 months?

Are we going to see the identical factor in Cincinnati? Um, it’s, it’s a really cool improvement so long as. These guys keep away from the temptations that come at them cuz they’re in energy to do unhealthy issues. They’ve bought to keep up integrity, they’ve bought to signify the folks.

[00:09:54] Lisa: I feel that is the forefront of a generational change.

I imply, we’ve been moaning about all these outdated [00:10:00] white-haired males which are working for president and othered workplaces, and we haven’t seen that generational shift, however I feel we’re beginning to see it in northeast Ohio. It’s,

[00:10:07] Chris: it’s. Fascinating to see. It’s enjoying out within the city areas this manner, whereas the agricultural areas seem to be they’re nonetheless behind.

However attention-grabbing improvement. The, the margin of victory was, was what struck me. This wasn’t even shut. The institution had no say on this one. The previous mayor Don, lik additionally endorse Summerville, didn’t imply something. Really, that may have steered extra votes away from Somerville cuz Pual hasn’t remembered all that fondly you’re listening to at this time in Ohio.

The usage of family tree DNA n a databases has solved the 1997 rape of a nine-year-old boy who lastly was in a position to confront his attacker throughout a dramatic sentencing yesterday. What did the boy inform his rapist, Layla. And what startling confession did the rapist make? Effectively, this

[00:10:55] Leila: is only a heart-wrenching case that that speaks to the.

Unbelievable energy of [00:11:00] DNA expertise. This assault occurred in 1997 in a wooded space behind a church in in, within the suburb of Brooklyn. And the boy who was 9 years outdated on the time, went to the church together with his father. And whereas his father was tending to some enterprise contained in the church, the boy had gone outdoors to play on a wooded playground the place he encountered a person who we now know was Dennis Gribble, strolling via the woods.

Gribble enticed the boy into the woods with a promise that the boy would get to journey a mud bike and within the woods he raped the boy and threatened to kill him if he advised anybody. However the boy ran again to the church. He instantly advised his father, and sadly, the case ran chilly as a result of the rapist, d n a didn’t match anybody in within the database on the time.

So then for greater than 20 years, the case went unsolved till. In the future the sufferer heard a few particular process power that had been created to check outdated sexual assault proof kits and seek for matches, and he referred to as the prosecutor’s workplace and requested for his [00:12:00] case to be reexamined. He had additionally realized in regards to the work that had been.

That had been, uh, finished on this planet of dna n and the way Genealogists had participated in fixing instances, uh, just like the Golden State Killer. And it seems that the prosecutor’s workplace was launching a pilot challenge working with that actual genealogists and an organization that runs a DNA database. Each, each of these have been instrumental in fixing that Golden State Killer case years again, they usually determined to incorporate the ca the sufferer’s case of their pilot.

They found that they’d simply sufficient d n A left. Within the take a look at tubes from the Brooklyn Police Division all these years again to run via the method. And lo and behold, they have been in a position to slender down the supply of his attacker’s, d n a to Gribble, or certainly one of his six brothers. So this sufferer was in a position to choose Gribble out of a lineup with one hundred percent certainty.

They examined Gribbles, d n a, it was a match. He pleaded responsible and has now obtained a ten 12 months sentence, [00:13:00] which. Sounds low, however that was the utmost he might have obtained beneath the regulation on the time that he dedicated this crime. And in courtroom, the sufferer made a really highly effective assertion. He advised Gribble Gribble that regardless of the whole lot that he stole from him as a toddler, he was not his sufferer.

After which Gribble advised the courtroom one thing that I feel startled everyone, together with prosecutor Michael Malley. He mentioned that. He’s been sexually assaulting kids his total life and that he can’t assist himself. Actually, the sufferer on this case remembered that Gribble had advised him on the time that he had raped two different boys earlier than him, and Gribble did in truth spend time in jail for raping kids between 1969 and 1972.

So it’s possible that there are numerous different survivors on the market whose lives have been interrupted in childhood by this. Predator.

[00:13:48] Chris: Yeah. And the, the, the sufferer additionally mentioned he needed to go to that college for six extra years. I do know. I imply, he needed to face what occurred to him for six extra years. It’s simply, it’s horrible.

And, and [00:14:00] it’s, and it’s horrible that the ten years is all they may give him. I, I do know. And the man mentioned, I can’t assist myself. I’ve been doing this perpetually. Um, So if he will get out in 10 years, he’ll be in his eighties. It, it might occur once more. I imply, and, and also you don’t know what number of different victims there are. I’m hoping the publicity about this brings them out.

I perceive. C B s Sunday morning was in to cowl this case, so this’ll get some nationwide consideration as effectively. Perhaps. Uh, and hopefully there’ll be extra victims in order that. This man by no means will get out once more. This was crushing. However , the vic, you gotta give actual credit score to the sufferer. Completely. He wouldn’t let it go.

He simply, , he, he’s, Hey, do this, do this, do this. This man has haunted me. Proper? Let’s get him

[00:14:41] Leila: such, such brave, uh, I imply, actually this, he’s a, a younger man who’s 35 years outdated now, has a household of his personal. And clearly he, uh, I imply he ha he did such a brave factor that, that may put this man behind bars for at the very least a decade and.

Hopefully others will discover the braveness to, and, um, [00:15:00] maintain, maintain the man behind bars for longer.

[00:15:03] Chris: It’s a heck of a narrative by Corey Schaffer. It’s on cleveland.com and also you’re listening to at this time in Ohio. Secretary of State, Frank LaRose is attempting to remove the bulk rule from Ohio residents, however now somebody is taking one thing from him.

Why did LA’s spouse summon police to their home? Laura?

[00:15:19] Laura: As a result of his automobile was stolen proper out of his storage, the door might need been inadvertently left open, however his spouse referred to as the police in Higher Arlington the place they lived on the suburb of Columbus at 4:18 AM on April twenty sixth to say that a number of folks had entered their storage.

She drives a 2018 Chevy. Equinox and apparently they discovered it parked across the nook. The police did an American Categorical card was lacking. The automobile contained quote unquote marketing campaign provides, together with keys and property ID badge. So the report didn’t say whether or not these have been recovered or not, however you marvel if it was similar to a lark they usually had no thought whose automobile they have been stolen.

After which after they noticed it, [00:16:00] we’re like, oh God, that is gonna be like prosecuted to the complete extent of the regulation. Perhaps we simply depart this automobile right here.

[00:16:05] Chris: Besides I took the bank card. Who leaves a bank card of their automobile? I imply, that simply looks like it’s fairly irresponsible to me. This

[00:16:12] Laura: is Man. Effectively, I imply the keys and the state ID badge can also be problematic.

Proper. And he labored in that workplace.

[00:16:18] Chris: That is the man we rely on the safeguard our elections, and he’s leaving his bank card in his automobile. Hmm. That’s a purple flag you’re listening to at this time in Ohio. Joe Biden thought he was making it simpler for People to combat local weather change via using photo voltaic panels.

However even fellow Democrats, she brown voted in opposition to him on this one. What did the US Senate do with Biden’s Photo voltaic Panel Initiative? Lisa,

[00:16:42] Lisa: uh, she Brown and his Republican colleague JD Vance, voted to overturn Biden’s suspension of tariffs on. Chinese language photo voltaic panels and parts. It did move the Senate on a 56 to 41 vote.

Vance mentioned, if we’re gonna have clear vitality economic system, it needs to be made within the US and never [00:17:00] China. However then he mentioned, actions by Biden on subsidies and laws for photo voltaic, assist construct the clear vitality economic system in China. Brown in a Senate ground speech mentioned it’s a easy selection. You stand with American staff otherwise you stand with China and proceed to lose our industrial base.

So the home additionally voted to move, uh, the same laws, 212 to 2 0 2 with 12 Democrats becoming a member of most Republicans on this. However. It might be for not as a result of the White Home says that Biden will veto the joint decision. He says, extra time is required to spice up home manufacturing. And this two-year tariff suspension is a brief bridge to fulfill, fulfill demand for photo voltaic, however with out a two-thirds majority within the Home and Senate, they’ll’t override a Biden veto on this.

[00:17:49] Chris: However that is one the place Biden perhaps shouldn’t veto it. I imply, he, he had a very good motive. We’ve to have sufficient photo voltaic panels on this nation to cease local weather change. However Congress is saying [00:18:00] we don’t disagree. We simply need them made right here as an alternative of giving China a break. So what Biden would possibly wanna do is present the subsidies wanted to get extra made in America, uh, cuz clearly, Individuals on each side.

Uh, don’t need to assist China. China isn’t a good friend of America today. It’d be attention-grabbing to see if Biden stands his floor or acquiesces.

[00:18:25] Lisa: I feel it could be attention-grabbing, , as a result of Vance mentioned he referred to as out, , subsidies that, , we now have given, , that allowed it to occur in China.

So I ponder if he would vote for photo voltaic and renewable subsidies.

[00:18:38] Chris: Effectively, you’d hope so, as a result of we have to get. There clearly we’re, we’re struggling the outcomes of local weather change. Anyone with an allergy can converse to that this 12 months as a result of the season has been twice as lengthy. Uh, attention-grabbing case the place the place she brown breaks with the chief of his get together.

I ponder, is he working free election? You’re listening to [00:19:00] at this time in Ohio? Do we now have a case of bonafide voter fraud? Proper right here in Cuyahoga County? Layla, we all know how uncommon it’s. What are the allegations right here?

[00:19:10] Leila: It seems that Donald Trump might need been proper. Voter fraud is an issue, simply, simply not in the best way he thought.

However um, on this case, 56 12 months outdated legal professional James Saunders has been indicted on two counts of unlawful voting. He’s accused of voting in each Kaga County and Broward County, Florida within the 2020 preside Presidential. And 2022 Normal Elections information present that he’s registered to vote at each his Shaker Boulevard house and a condominium in Pompano Seashore and the Federal Elections Fee Information Present.

Saunders has made a number of small donations to the campaigns of former President Donald Trump and organizations that assist Republican candidates for workplace. So mockingly, Trump claimed that Joe Biden was the beneficiary of widespread voter fraud. But when this man will get discovered responsible of voter [00:20:00] fraud, it’ll really price Trump a vote.

So how? How you want them apples?

[00:20:06] Chris: Effectively, and I don’t assume we’re completed with this story. I used to be speaking to Corey Schaffer, a courtroom reporter, and he’s taking a look at among the different instances that have been forwarded to Cuyahoga County for consideration. So I’m not gonna give something away, however there could be one other story coming.

Superb. It’s at this time in Ohio. Laura, you previewed this Thursday. Let’s come again to it. How large is the nationwide debt and extra importantly, can you place that quantity into perspective? It’s

[00:20:31] Laura: actually large. It’s 31.4 trillion and, and I used to be flawed yesterday once I talked about this. It’s not 70. Thousand some per particular person.

It’s $95,000 per particular person. That may be a entire lot greater than the common American wage. And if we’re simply speaking taxpayers, it’s about $247,700 for each taxpayer within the nation. So that you, , you, everyone might purchase, each taxpayer might purchase themselves a fairly good home with what the nationwide debt [00:21:00] is up.

If each particular person working in Ohio labored minimal wage for 40 hours every week, we might repay the nationwide debt in. 278 years. Wow. It’s simply thoughts blowing, proper?

[00:21:13] Chris: Yeah. What, what are among the different issues that Zachary put right into a story about this? That it,

[00:21:18] Laura: um, it could take. Uh, 280 billion to unravel world starvation by 2030.

So this debt would resolve it 112 occasions a adjusted for inflation. The nationwide debt might pay for nearly eight World Struggle II s based mostly on US struggle spending. And when you concentrate on how a lot. You realize, we spent on World Struggle ii. It’s, it’s large, and clearly the nationwide debt didn’t occur in a single day. We’ve had it for the reason that very starting of this nation.

Through the American Civil Struggle, the debt elevated by 4000% and crossed into this billion greenback threshold, however the two largest debt will increase. Have been Barack Obama. Oh, Barack Obama and Donald Trump in response [00:22:00] to the Nice Recession and Covid 19. So we’ve actually simply ramped it up within the final 10 y , 20 years.

At

[00:22:06] Chris: some level, the home of playing cards has to break down, proper? I imply, sooner or later you’ll be able to’t borrow anymore, and also you, your, your credit standing is a catastrophe. In the event you, if you happen to stored working up debt 12 months after 12 months after 12 months on house renovation initiatives, finally you couldn’t pay it again and also you’d lose

[00:22:24] Laura: all of it. Effectively, I feel that’s the argument, proper?

That’s why we’re lastly speaking about it. And the Republicans have tried to take a stand and saying, we don’t need to add anymore to this debt. Nobody’s speaking about actually repaying it, however they’re simply speaking in regards to the debt restrict and, and the deficit that we spend yearly. Yearly we make this greater and greater and greater.

And different international locations have, , finished one thing about it. I keep in mind, I don’t know what number of years in the past it was, however Canada put within the g s t, like, it’s like a. I feel it’s 8% revenue tax, or sorry, gross sales per tax. Gross sales tax on something you purchase, it goes immediately towards paying down the [00:23:00] nationwide debt. In order that’s why if you happen to go to Canada, you find yourself paying about 15% gross sales tax on something as a result of the concept is that’s particularly paying down that debt.

However we,

[00:23:10] Chris: yeah, however there’s no urge for food for tax will increase on this nation. I don’t see that occuring. No. All proper. You’re listening to the say in Ohio, which hospitals in northeast Ohio lead the pack for affected person security? And Lisa, why are so few getting high grades? Ought to we be anxious?

[00:23:28] Lisa: It’s attention-grabbing. Yeah.

Once you take a look at the, the rankings, the, the fewest have been, I feel within the, A gaggle. However anyway, uh, leapfrog group security grades, rankings for spring of this 12 months of 3000 American hospitals. Um, so, uh, a grades, uh, so. Let me return. So the Cleveland Clinic bought a grades for its foremost campus additionally Lutheran, Hillcrest, Avon, Fairview Marymount, and South Level.

Now they bought B grades for um, [00:24:00] I’m sorry, my, I’m looking for my notes right here anyway, so we’ll transfer on to, uh, so, uh, bought a grades for Ahuja, Gaga, Portage and Parma campuses, after which their foremost campus and St. John bought B grades, however an entire lot of C grades. So while you take a look at all the hospitals that have been ranked, solely 29% bought a grades the most important.

Received sea grades at 39%. Sea grades embody Metro Well being System, Southwest Normal Well being Heart, Suma Well being Barton, and uh, Elyria, TriPoint and Lake West Heart campuses. So

[00:24:36] Chris: does a sea grade imply that if I’m going in to get a knee alternative that there’s a hazard they’ll do the flawed knee or does it imply they’re horrible about an infection management?

Once I go to a hospital, I don’t need to hear they bought a sea grade for security.
