Ohio could gain extended benefits but law blocks uptake
Ohio and 12 other states may miss weeks of extra federal unemployment aid because state laws linger. The National Employment Law Project says about 540,000 workers could qualify for 13 to 20 weeks if states adopt the 6.5 percent threshold rule, with the federal recovery act covering the cost.

Highway Patrol consolidates dispatch centers to cut costs
The Ohio State Highway Patrol is consolidating 56 posts into 21 regional dispatch sites to reduce overtime costs. Patrol spokesman Darrin Blosser says the move allows multiple dispatchers on duty, easing breaks and on-time departures, though some workers complain of longer commutes. The change, nearly complete, will be fully functional next year.
