Water taxi routes eyed for Ohio River travel link
The plan from Southbank Partners would place four water taxi docks in Cincinnati Covington and Newport linking to the Southbank Shuttle. A two mile route on the river could start with four to six boats carrying 20 to 50 passengers each and trees potential to reduce congestion and smog. Local officials welcomed the idea as a new tourist draw and transit option for riverfront development.

Ohio Prison Co-Pay Law Faces Mixed Reactions
Gov. George Voinovich defends medical co payments as saving taxpayers money and not harming care. Critics from Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants warn inmates miss needed services due to the $3 fee, while the program covers costs for over 49,000 inmates amid a healthcare budget around 112.5 million this year. The reform also shifts unlimited furloughs to escorted visits and allows tests and treatments for contagious diseases against inmate consent if needed.
