Survey on Race; Drones Legislation; Statehouse News Update

Our most recent Listening Project participants identified racism and racial tension as an obstacle in the community.  Ideastream then partnered with Baldwin Wallace University's Community Research Institute to look deeper into that subject in a survey completed this past winter.

Plus, Cleveland implements a new ordinance aimed at regulating drones in the city.

Then, the latest on a electric rate hike plan for Ohio customers.
