OH won't change law to get unemployment funding

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - It appears Ohio won't get $176 million in federal stimulus money to expand its unemployment benefits.
The federal government set aside $7 billion to give to states that expanded those benefits, and the deadline is Monday. Ohio's General Assembly would have to pass a law to make those changes, but no voting session was scheduled Monday.
A spokesman for Republican Gov. John Kasich says it's unwise to make changes that will cost the state in the long run in exchange for one-time money from the federal government.
To receive the money, Ohio would have to choose from a number of options, including expanding benefits to unemployed workers seeking part-time work or extending benefits for those in approved job training.

Governor Kasich will be recalled in January for sure.

It's as if these states truly believe the unemployment picture has improved.
Toss Ohio into the same group as Fla.
