the ohio historian called chapman the oddest character in all of our history. he was certainly every bit of that. i read in my book that he quote had the eye of a speculator, heart of a fill philanthropist,d wondering instincts of a know -- nomad. he wanted a nursery interest. then he gave away half of his stock and fair percentage of his profits. here's the largest point. early 19th century ohio was filled with characters, pioneers who built homes inside trees, famous brawlers, legendary boozers, and what really struck me was that among all of these people, chapman's extrusty stood out. everyone knew him, everyone realized what a singular person, even a crack pot. yet, he seems to have been above the most. that line got me to the context of the times. that's where the story really deepened for me. how westward expansion has been become dammed up, the fact that the northwest territory was a huge real estate event waiting to happen when chapman arrived on the shores of the river at the end of the 18th century. the way the second grade awakening swept over all of

these players,. >> ohio state university as opposed to just ohio state university, these guys they don'ts. now it seems unfair. >> they from good tattoos. >> jon: it should say i gave me shirt and all i got was this lousy tattoo. but it seems an unfair thing. they bring in so many millions for these universities. yet they aren't-- does that seem right in your eyes? >> well, it's a tough situation. i can look on both sides, on the ncaa side and see how hard it is. they have to manage so many athletes and make sure that none are doing anything illegal but at the same time you have having a lot of athletes that work extremely hard and make millions and millions for universities. and they're still, you know, struggling just to go out to outback to get something to eat. so i can see on both sides. i think you know something fair would be if some of the athletes got a little bit more so they could go to dinner, afford a scoot tore drive around campus, little things like that. not to get paid. >> jon: really, a scooter. >> a scooter, i mean at college, it would help so much. >> jon: i they want

it's clearly the top issue on the minds of folks in ohio. no, the ohio economy is still hurting. we're not creating the jobs we hope to create. if you look at it nationally, there are now 14 million americans who are out of work and more than a million want to work but have given up hoog for work. you know, when you look at what's going on out there, you add the 8.5 million americans who are getting by with part-time jobs, even though they would like to work full time, that's about 23 million americans suffering from the lack of the full-time job that they want. so this unemployment issue continues to be the number-one issue in ohio and nationally we have got to address it. you talked a little today about some of the ways that we need to approach it including the regulatory overreach and its impact on jobs and small businesses, but let me talk about even a deeper concern in ohio, and that's the length of time people have been out of work. the average unemployment now is 40 weeks. that's about nine months. it's nine months of stress, nine months of uncertainty, nine months of wond

ohio, do the same in new york. i said, senator, i applaud you for that, but do you remember how you did it? you did it by building 1,000 foot tall smokestacks not because they are pretty or cheap, but when you build a smokestack that tall, the pollution goes up and doesn't come down in ohio. [laughter] right? it goes into the jet stream, doesn't come in new jersey, that would have been okay with me. [laughter] or boston since you have the celtics, and we don't -- [laughter] that would have been great. it comes down in new york, and so as a new yorker, attorney general and lawyer, all i know how to do is sue you. we sued them because we need you to internalize this cost. in other words, only government can say private parties can do it and that's why they are private nuance actions, but government has to do it. government can measure the negative and try to impose the behavior modification upon the economic actors to diminish output or get people to switch to natural gas. we are not here to discuss energy policies,

for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio -- gentlelady from ohio rise? without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. ms. fudge: thank you. i rise today because i am deeply concerned about my community's ability to address its emergency response needs. fema safer grants are designed to assist cities with maintaining first responders on the streets. but challenges that fema has a stipulation that cities cannot have employees in layoff status. the cities most in need of these funds are financially challenged. it is difficult for them to avoid laying off employees when they have no funds in the budget to retain them as required by the fema grants. this is a situation that people in my community are being confronted with. the city of cleveland applied for and received two grants from fema. due to state level budget cuts, cleveland needs these fema grants now more than ever. fema should be granted the authority to waive the no layoff clause. this way the funding system would be better able to live up to the intent of the grant and our streets
