AUDIO: Dave McKinley on fly ash bill

Wheeling area congressman Dave McKinley and I today talked Big 12 football, the capital hill supercommittee and McKinley's bill on regulating coal fly ash. As I've looked into McKinley's fly ash bill, it seems more reasonable than I had at first understood. Take a listen to the issues as we kicked them around.

AUDIO: Zanesville's Wild Kingdom

Day 2 of extensive coverage of the animal esacpe in Muskingham County just to our west. Two big questions being asked. First--did the sheriff need to kill so many animals? Wasn't there a way to capture or tranquilize them? Everyone I talked with--including animal rights advocates--seem to feel the sheriff had no choice. It was an issue of public safety. A more controversial question is whether Ohio needs more stringent regulations on who can own exotic animals.

Among my guests was Kieth James, a reporter on the scene in Zanesville. Listen to some of his update here.
