| 00:00:37 | >> BUT NOT WITHOUT A FINAL
FIGHT FROM ITS CHIEF BACKER. |
| 00:00:45 | LAWMAKERS ARE PASSING NEW BILLS
ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS. |
| 00:00:47 | AND THE FIRST-EVER FEMALE
SECRETARY OF STATE SPEAKS OUT |
| 00:00:50 | ON THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN
POLITICS AND HOW SHE CONTINUES |
| 00:00:52 | TO HOPE TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM.
ALL THIS WEEK IN "THE STATE OF |
| 00:01:01 | OHIO."
THE LAME-DUCK SESSION OF THE |
| 00:01:04 | GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN BUSY
BOTH FOR WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING |
| 00:01:08 | AND WHAT WE KNOW WILL NOT
HAPPEN. |
| 00:01:11 | LET'S START WITH THE ABORTION
MEASURES THAT WERE STALLED IN |
| 00:01:15 | THE SENATE.
THE FIRST IS THE HEART BEAT BILL |
| 00:01:19 | WHICH WOULD BAN ABORTION AT THE
FIRST HEARTBEAT WHICH CAN BE -- |
| 00:01:23 | WHICH CAN HAPPEN BEFORE A WOMAN
KNOWS IS PREGNANT. |
| 00:01:26 | THERE WERE VERMIN SAID THAT A
DEAL WAS IN THE WORKS BEFORE TO |
| 00:01:29 | BRING IT BEFORE THE SENATE.
-- THERE WERE RUMORS THAT SAID |
| 00:01:36 | IT WAS IN THE WORK TO BRING IT
BEFORE THE SENATE. |
| 00:01:38 | THE RIGHT TO LIFE OPPOSED IT ON
CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS. |
| 00:01:45 | IT WAS ANNOUNCED THE BILL WAS
DEAD. |
| 00:01:49 | THAT PROMPTED FAITH TO ACTION TO
BRING OUT AN OBSCURE MANEUVER |
| 00:01:55 | ASKING TO SUPPORT THE BILL AND
SIGN A DISCHARGE PETITION TO |
| 00:01:59 | BRING IT TO THE FLOOR.
SHE SAID THAT TACTIC WAS NOT |
| 00:02:03 | GOING TO WORK BECAUSE HE DECIDED
TO MOVE IN COMING SHANNON JONES |
| 00:02:11 | FROM A KEY COMMITTEE.
BOTH ARE HARD TO BEAT BILL |
| 00:02:15 | SUPPORTERS AND THE HAVE BEEN
TARGETED BY FATE TO ACTION WITH |
| 00:02:19 | ADS AND WITH CALLS AND E-MAILS.
>> THE EFFECT OF THIS MOVE IS |
| 00:02:23 | THAT THE BILL COMES INTO THE
RULES AND REFERENCE COMMITTEE. |
| 00:02:27 | AND A DISCHARGE POSITION CANNOT
BE ISSUED ON A BILL UNTIL IT HAS |
| 00:02:33 | BEEN IN THE COMMITTEE 30 DAYS.
TODAY IS NOVEMBER 29. |
| 00:02:37 | THAT MEANS THE EARLIEST THAT ANY
DISCHARGE PETITION SHOULD HAVE |
| 00:02:41 | COME ABOUT SHOULD BE ISSUED
DECEMBER 29. |
| 00:02:46 | I DO NOT EXPECT TO BE HERE ON
DECEMBER 29. |
| 00:02:49 | SO, IN MY OPINION, IT IS
AFFECTIVELY SAID WE'RE NOT GOING |
| 00:02:55 | TO TAKE THIS BILL UP IN THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY. |
| 00:02:59 | >> WHEN WE HEAR FROM THEM,
[INDISCERNIBLE] |
| 00:03:08 | >> THE DISCHARGE POSITION
BECAUSE IT WOULD BYPASS THE |
| 00:03:17 | COMMITTEE PROCESS COMPLETELY.
IT WOULD BE A HOLLOW ARGUMENT |
| 00:03:22 | FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO
BYPASS THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS |
| 00:03:26 | TO ARGUE THAT WHAT I DID
BYPASSED THE LEGISLATIVE |
| 00:03:29 | PROCESS.
>> SHE SAID SHE IS NOT GIVING |
| 00:03:33 | UP, EVEN THOUGH SHE IS
FRUSTRATED. |
| 00:03:35 | >> WE KNOW THERE COULD BE
BROUGHT TO THE FLOOR BUT I WILL |
| 00:03:38 | TELL YOU THIS, I HAVE BEEN
LOBBYING SINCE THE 1980'S. |
| 00:03:42 | I HAVE WORKED WITH PRO-ABORTION
AND REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC |
| 00:03:47 | LEGISLATORS.
I HAVE DEBATED PLANNED |
| 00:03:49 | PARENTHOOD THAT I HAVE NEVER
SEEN SUCH HOSTILITY TOWARD |
| 00:03:54 | BABIES IN ALL MY LIFE.
AND I UNDERSTAND IF HE DO NOT |
| 00:04:00 | LIKE JANET PORTER, THAT IS FINE.
BUT DO NOT TAKE IT OUT ON BABIES |
| 00:04:07 | WITH BEATING HEARTS.
YOU DO NOT LIKE ME, THAT IS |
| 00:04:09 | FINE.
HE HAS MADE COMMENTS HE DID NOT |
| 00:04:13 | LIKE THE TACTICS.
WE ONLY RAN ADS WHEN THE CLOSE |
| 00:04:17 | TO THE DOOR AND LOCKED IT.
SO WE LET THE CONSTITUENTS NOW |
| 00:04:22 | AND THEY DID NOT CARE THAT MUCH.
HIS -- HE HAS PROMISED US HE WAS |
| 00:04:27 | GOING TO BRING IT TO THE FLOOR.
HE BROKE IT EVERY TIME. |
| 00:04:32 | THE LAST TIME HE SAID AFTER THE
NOVEMBER ELECTIONS, AND HE DID |
| 00:04:35 | NOT KEEP HIS WORD.
>> HE SAID MITT ROMNEY'S |
| 00:04:39 | ELECTION WAS ONE OF THE KEY
THINGS TO HAPPEN. |
| 00:04:43 | >> WHAT EXCUSE ARE WE USING
TODAY? |
| 00:04:45 | WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY? |
| 00:04:50 | WE DELIVERED 10 PAGES OF AN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TO SHOW THE |
| 00:04:55 | WORK.
WE KEPT OUR END OF THE BARGAIN. |
| 00:04:57 | WE WORK LIKE CRAZY FOR ROMNEY.
WHEN VIDEO THAT I MADE CUT |
| 00:05:02 | NEARLY 1 MILLION VIEWS.
WE GOT THE WORD OUT. |
| 00:05:06 | WE DID EVERYTHING.
WE PROMISED. |
| 00:05:09 | UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DID NOT.
THE SENATE PRESIDENT DID NOT |
| 00:05:13 | KEEP HIS WORD.
THAT IS WHERE WE ARE. |
| 00:05:16 | AGAIN, IF YOU DO NOT LIKE ME, DO
NOT TAKE IT OUT ON BABIES WITH |
| 00:05:21 | BEATING HEARTS.
>> WHAT YOU DO NOW? |
| 00:05:25 | >> I KNOW IF YOU WALK BY THE
OFFICE, YOU WILL HEAR THEIR |
| 00:05:31 | BOSSES ARE CALLING THEM.
THEY ARE LETTING THEIR VIEWS BE |
| 00:05:34 | KNOWN RIGHT NOW.
THEY ARE RINGING OFF THE HOOK. |
| 00:05:37 | THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT.
PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THIS BILL |
| 00:05:42 | BECOME LAW.
THEY WANT TO SEE BABIES WITH |
| 00:05:45 | BEATING HEARTS PROTECTED.
EVERYONE OF THESE REMAINING |
| 00:05:47 | SENATORS, ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE
GOING TO BE HERE, I DO NOT THINK |
| 00:05:53 | THEY WANT IT.
I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN |
| 00:05:57 | BUT I WILL.
IF THEY THINK THE PRO-LIFE |
| 00:06:01 | MOVEMENT IS GOING AWAY, THEY DO
NOT KNOW US VERY WELL. |
| 00:06:04 | I WOULD THINK THEY HAVE A LOT OF
THINGS THEY WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. |
| 00:06:08 | THERE STILL IS TIME TO DO THAT.
>> SHE EXPECTS THE HEART BEAT |
| 00:06:15 | BILL TO BE BACK IF IT IS NOT
PASSED BY THE END OF THE YEAR |
| 00:06:19 | AND THEN NEXT TIME IT WILL HAVE
A LOWER NUMBER, SUCH AS ONE. |
| 00:06:24 | LOW NUMBERED BILLS OFTEN BEING
PLACEHOLDERS OR CONSIDERED A |
| 00:06:32 | HIGH PRIORITY.
THE SENATE WILL NOT ACT ON A |
| 00:06:35 | BILL THAT WOULD BOOT PLANNED
PARENTHOOD TO THE BACK OF THE |
| 00:06:41 | LAND FOR PUBLIC MONEY.
THE SENATE WOULD NOT HAVE TIME |
| 00:06:43 | TO WEIGH THE POLICIES AT STAKE.
THE FULL HOUSE HAS NOT AUDIT -- |
| 00:06:48 | VOTED ON THE MEASURE AND IT IS
NOT CLEAR WHETHER THE GOP WILL |
| 00:06:52 | ACT.
HE SAID HE DOES NOT CONSULT HIS |
| 00:06:55 | TALK -- CAUCUS BECAUSE THERE
WAS NOTHING TO DISCUSS. |
| 00:06:58 | HE SAID HE TOOK INTO THE ACCOUNT
OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD WHICH |
| 00:07:06 | INCLUDES NEEDED SERVICES.
OVER AND HOUSE, LAWMAKERS PASSED |
| 00:07:11 | A BILL THAT WOULD GIVE SCHOOLS
LETTER GRADES, REPLACING THE |
| 00:07:14 | RANKINGS IN SIX CATEGORIES FROM
EXCELLENT TO ACADEMIC EMERGENCY. |
| 00:07:20 | THE SYSTEM WAS PUSHED BY THE JOB
UNDER -- THE GOVERNOR WHO SAYS |
| 00:07:25 | IT WILL BE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND
AND WOULD PROMOTE IMPROVEMENT. |
| 00:07:28 | THE BILL'S SPONSOR IS THE
REPUBLICAN FROM LANCASTER. |
| 00:07:34 | >> IT WILL CREATE A BETTER
SYSTEM THAT THIS FOCUSED ON |
| 00:07:37 | SCHOOL EFFECTIVENESS AND STUDENT
PREPARED THIS. |
| 00:07:40 | IT WILL MANAGE THE TRANSITION TO
HIGHER EXPECTATIONS FOR OUR |
| 00:07:45 | STUDENTS, WHICH ARE COMING IN
THE 2015 SCHOOL YEAR. |
| 00:07:48 | OHIO IS IN TRANSITION TO A
PERIOD OF HIGHER EXPECTATIONS |
| 00:07:59 | FOR ITS STUDENTS TO KNOW AND BE
PREPARED FOR SUCCESS. |
| 00:08:02 | >> IT ALSO DEALS WITH
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR DROP |
| 00:08:07 | OUR RECOVERY SCHOOLS AND
PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS AND |
| 00:08:10 | RATINGS FOR THE SPONSORS OF
CHARTER SCHOOLS. |
| 00:08:13 | HE SAYS IT IS READY TO GO NOW.
>> ALL OF THESE ENTITIES, WHILE |
| 00:08:19 | THEY MAY DISAGREE WITH SOME OF
THE PROVISIONS, HAVE SUPPORTED |
| 00:08:23 | THE BILL AND IN COMMITTEE, THERE
WAS NOBODY WHO TESTIFIED IN |
| 00:08:28 | OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.
IT IS A GOOD BILL. |
| 00:08:34 | IT IS A COMPREHENSIVE BILL.
IT IS A BILL THAT HAS BEEN A |
| 00:08:38 | LONG TIME COMING.
IT COULD PROBABLY BE BETTER. |
| 00:08:42 | WILL IT GET BETTER?
WE HOPE SO. |
| 00:08:44 | I KNOW SOME OF THE PEOPLE THINK
THERE ARE SOME THINGS THERE |
| 00:08:48 | SHOULD BE IN THE BILL AND I
THINK WE HAVE GIVEN NEW |
| 00:08:52 | OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THOSE.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO DO |
| 00:08:55 | IS MAKE SURE WE GET TO SURVIVE
THE END OF THE YEAR TO COMPLY |
| 00:08:59 | WITH NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND IN THE
WAIVER THAT WAS GRANTED. |
| 00:09:03 | SOME OF THOSE THINGS COULD NOT
HAPPEN, PRACTICALLY SPEAKING. |
| 00:09:07 | >> IT DID NOT GET GOOD MARKS
FROM DEMOCRATS. |
| 00:09:11 | SCHOOLS ARE DEALING WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW COMMON |
| 00:09:16 | STANDARDS AND EVALUATIONS FROM
THE BUDGET. |
| 00:09:20 | SHE SAYS IT WOULD BE BETTER TO
WAIT UNTIL THE GOVERNOR'S |
| 00:09:25 | PROPOSAL IS RELEASED NEXT YEAR.
>> I THINK WE WOULD GIVE IT AN |
| 00:09:31 | INCOMPLETE.
ON MANY SCALES, THAT REALLY |
| 00:09:35 | MEANS AND F.
LET'S GET THE EDUCATION SYSTEM |
| 00:09:44 | ON THE RIGHT PATH.
A BIT OF REMEDIATION COULD GO A |
| 00:09:49 | LONG WAY FOR HOUSE BILL 555.
>> HE BLASTS THE GOVERNOR FOR |
| 00:09:55 | COMING UP WITH THE IDEA FOR
CHANGING THE SYSTEM. |
| 00:09:58 | >> THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES
BY WHERE WE DO NOT HEAR ABOUT |
| 00:10:03 | THE FISCAL QUIFF IN WASHINGTON.
I AM A NEWS JUNKIE. |
| 00:10:08 | IT IS HARD FOR ME TO TUNE IN TO
ANY NEWS SHOW WITHOUT HEARING |
| 00:10:13 | ABOUT THE FISCAL CLIFF.
I WOULD SUGGEST TO COLUMBUS HAS |
| 00:10:19 | THE EDUCATION CLUFF.
-- CLIFF. |
| 00:10:24 | THE GOVERNOR IS DRIVING THE BUS.
OUR CHILDREN AND OUR SCHOOLS ARE |
| 00:10:33 | BEING SET UP FOR FAILURE.
THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS. |
| 00:10:38 | WE JUST HEARD THE EXPLANATION.
THEY NEED TO COME TO GET THEIR |
| 00:10:43 | IN A VERY SHORT WINDOW.
>> ONE REPUBLICAN SAID SHE |
| 00:10:48 | WANTED THE BILL SOONER RATHER
THAN LATER. |
| 00:10:50 | >> THE CURRENT SYSTEM OF GRADING
WE HAVE IS MISLEADING OR |
| 00:10:56 | CONFUSING AT BEST.
EFFECTIVE SOUNDS GOOD. |
| 00:11:01 | WE ALL WANT TO BE A -- WE ALL
WANT TO BE EFFECTIVE. |
| 00:11:09 | HOW ABOUT IMPROVING?
ACADEMIC WATCH, THERE IS ONE FOR |
| 00:11:14 | YOU.
WE SHOULD FOLLOW THEIR LEAD, HOW |
| 00:11:17 | ABOUT EXCELLENCE?
THAT SHOULD BE THE BEST THERE |
| 00:11:20 | IS.
EXCELLENCE WITH DISTINCTION. |
| 00:11:24 | EVERYBODY WHO WENT TO SCHOOL
UNDERSTANDS THE A-F GRADING |
| 00:11:30 | SYSTEM.
>> THEY WOULD BE BESTOWED ON |
| 00:11:33 | COMMUNITY SCHOOLS, STEM SCHOOLS,
AND COLLEGE PREP BOARDING |
| 00:11:36 | SCHOOLS.
ANOTHER BILL GIVES MORE |
| 00:11:40 | FLEXIBILITY IN MAKING UP LOST
TIME. |
| 00:11:43 | IT WOULD CHANGE THE LAW
REGARDING THE TIME STUDENTS MUST |
| 00:11:47 | SPEND IN SCHOOL.
MEASURING IT IN HOURS, NOT DAYS. |
| 00:11:50 | IT WOULD CHANGE THE MINIMUM
SCHOOL YEAR TO FOUR HUNDRED 55 |
| 00:11:56 | HOURS FOR HALF A KINDERGARTEN.
1001 HOURS 7-12. |
| 00:12:05 | SCHOOL DISTRICTS COULD TAILOR
THEIR YEAR TO THE COMMUNITY'S |
| 00:12:10 | NEEDS, INCLUDING LONGER SCHOOL
DAYS AND ON MY GLASSES TO MAKE |
| 00:12:13 | UP FOR CALAMITY DAYS AND LOST
FACE. |
| 00:12:16 | LAWMAKERS ALSO APPROVED -- LOST
DAYS. |
| 00:12:20 | LAWMAKERS ALSO APPROVED
REGULATIONS ON THE CARE AND |
| 00:12:26 | TREATMENT OF ANIMALS IN LARGE
ESTABLISHMENTS AND |
| 00:12:30 | DISTINGUISHES THE FACILITIES
FROM TRADITIONAL DOG KENNELS. |
| 00:12:32 | RETAILERS WILL HAVE TO GET
LICENSES. |
| 00:12:37 | IT CREATES AN ADVISORY BOARD TO
PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR THOSE |
| 00:12:40 | FACILITIES AND ALLOWS THE
DIRECTOR OF THE AGRICULTURE |
| 00:12:44 | DEPARTMENT TO CONTRACT WITH
LOCAL VETERINARIANS TO CONDUCT |
| 00:12:48 | INSPECTIONS.
ANIMAL RESCUES WOULD HAVE TO |
| 00:12:50 | REGISTER WITH THE STATES,
RAISING CONCERNS FROM WHEN |
| 00:12:54 | NONPROFIT THAT THE BILL WOULD BE
ONEROUS. |
| 00:12:57 | GOVERNOR KASICH PLANS TO SIGN
IT. |
| 00:13:01 | LAWMAKERS HAVE SET UP LEADERSHIP
TEAMS FOR THE NEW SESSION IN |
| 00:13:04 | JANUARY.
AMONG REPUBLICANS, KEITH FABER |
| 00:13:09 | WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT.
TOM PATTEN AS THE FLOOR LEADER |
| 00:13:14 | AND LARRY AS THE MAJORITY WHIP.
IN THE HOUSE, MATT MOVED UP TO A |
| 00:13:21 | PLACE.
BARBARA SEARS WILL BE THE |
| 00:13:28 | MAJORITY FLOOR LEADER.
JOHN ADAMS WILL BE ASSISTANT. |
| 00:13:31 | CHERYL WILL BE THE MAJORITY WHIP
AND JIM WILL BE ASSISTANT |
| 00:13:39 | MAJORITY WHIP.
DEMOCRATS REELECTED THEIR TEAM |
| 00:13:43 | LAST WEEK.
MATT OF TOLEDO, TRACY OF |
| 00:13:52 | COLUMBUS AS MINORITY WHIP AND
DEBBIE PHILLIPS AS ASSISTANT |
| 00:13:56 | MINORITY WHIP.
IN THE SENATE, ERIC CURRENCY |
| 00:13:59 | KEEPS HIS POSITION AS MINORITY
LEADER ADJOINED -- JOINED BY |
| 00:14:06 | NINA TURNER OF CLEVELAND AND
ASSISTANT WHIP AND A BROWN OF |
| 00:14:10 | TOLEDO.
WE HOPE TO BRING YOU |
| 00:14:12 | CONVERSATIONS IN THE NEXT FEW
WEEKS. |
| 00:14:15 | THE HOUSE AND SENATE MEMBERS
WILL STAND IN THEIR DISTRICT NOW |
| 00:14:21 | THAT THERE IS A ROLLING THE
MAPS ARE LEGAL. |
| 00:14:24 | A DIVIDED COURT RULED THAT THE
CONSTITUTION DID NOT REQUIRE |
| 00:14:29 | POLITICAL NEUTRALITY IN
DRAFTING THE HOUSE AND SENATE |
| 00:14:32 | DISTRICTS.
DEMOCRATS BROUGHT THE CHALLENGE |
| 00:14:35 | ON BEHALF OF A GROUP OF VOTERS.
THEY ARGUE THE REPUBLICAN |
| 00:14:39 | APPORTIONMENT BOARD
INTENTIONALLY SOUGHT ADVANTAGE |
| 00:14:43 | AS PROHIBITED IN THE
CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:14:45 | REPUBLICANS ARGUED IT ASKS THE
BOARD TO CONSIDER MINIMIZING |
| 00:14:52 | SPLITS BUT SETS NO RULE ON THAT.
THE LITIGATION SAID THE MAP PUT |
| 00:15:00 | CITIES AND OTHER UNITS MORE THAN
250 TIMES. |
| 00:15:03 | THE COURTS HAD DELAYED ITS
RULING SO AS NOT TO IMPACT THE |
| 00:15:11 | AUCTION.
OHIO'S PRISONS ARE OVER |
| 00:15:14 | CAPACITY.
RIGHT NOW 11,000 MORE THAN THERE |
| 00:15:17 | WERE BUILT TO HOLD.
A NEW LAW WENT INTO AFFECT A |
| 00:15:21 | YEAR AGO THAT IS MEANT TO
ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CROWDING. |
| 00:15:24 | REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN ON THIS
ISSUE FOR YEARS AND SPENT THREE |
| 00:15:30 | YEARS RESEARCHING THE BILL ON
OVERCROWDING AND SENTENCING |
| 00:15:34 | GUIDELINES BEFORE IT PASSED
LEGISLATURE. |
| 00:15:36 | >> YOU CANNOT PUT 10 POUNDS IN A
5 POUND BAG. |
| 00:15:40 | WHEN YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF
OVERCROWDING, IT IS EXPENSIVE |
| 00:15:45 | AND DANGEROUS.
IT IS DANGEROUS TO THE GUARDS, |
| 00:15:49 | THE LAW ABIDING PRISONERS, AND
CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE |
| 00:15:53 | PRESSURE NEEDS TO BE RELIEVED.
SO WE BEGAN TO LOOK AS WE WERE |
| 00:15:58 | GOING 3 BUDGET CRISIS FOR WAYS
TO SAVE MONEY AND RELIEVED THAT |
| 00:16:03 | OVERCROWDING AND EMPLOY
STRATEGIES THAT REDUCE |
| 00:16:07 | OVERCROWDING.
>> NEXT WEEK WILL HAVE MORE ON |
| 00:16:09 | THE IMPACT ON THE BILL AND HOW
EFFECTIVE IT HAS BEEN AT |
| 00:16:14 | REDUCING THE NUMBER OF INMATES.
THE ELECTION OF 2012 IS HISTORY |
| 00:16:20 | BUT JOHN HUSTON IS STILL TAKING
HEAT FOR SOME OF THE THINGS THAT |
| 00:16:24 | HAPPENED, OR THOUGHT TO HAVE
HAPPENED, AND DURING THE |
| 00:16:27 | CAMPAIGN.
PERHAPS NO ONE UNDERSTANDS MORE |
| 00:16:30 | THAN THE PERSON WHO OCCUPIED THE
OFFICE BEFORE HIM, OVERSEEING |
| 00:16:34 | THE 2008 CAMPAIGN, JENNIFER
BRUNNER. |
| 00:16:36 | SHE HAS CONTINUED TO BE ACTIVE
IN VOTING AND -- INCLUDING A |
| 00:16:46 | PLAN TO BRING A PACKAGE OF
CHANGES TO THE BALLOT. |
| 00:16:49 | THAT PLAN WAS SCRAPPED WHEN THE
LEGISLATURE REPEALED THOSE |
| 00:16:53 | CHANGES BUT ACTIVISTS WERE ANGRY
OVER THE CHANGES. |
| 00:16:57 | BRUNNER HAS ALSO BEEN TRAVELING
TO SERBIA TO WORK ON JUDICIAL |
| 00:17:03 | REFORM AND SHE WROTE A BOOK
WHICH IS RELEASED A MONTH BEFORE |
| 00:17:07 | THE ELECTION, A MEMOIR CALLED
"CUPCAKES AND COURAGE." |
| 00:17:14 | JENNIFER BRUNNER IS HERE TO TALK
ABOUT THAT BOOK. |
| 00:17:19 | THE COURAGE PART I UNDERSTAND.
WHY CUPCAKES? |
| 00:17:23 | >> IT IS A FEMININE PERSPECTIVE
BUT DURING THE CAMPAIGN, WHEN WE |
| 00:17:29 | WERE STARVED FOR CASH BECAUSE WE
WERE NOT ESTABLISHED, WE DECIDED |
| 00:17:34 | WE WOULD HAVE CUPCAKE PARTIES
ALL OVER THE STATE. |
| 00:17:37 | THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL.
WE WERE ABLE TO GO TO THESE |
| 00:17:41 | PARTIES.
IT IS A JUXTAPOSITION. |
| 00:17:44 | THIS IS TOLD FROM A WOMAN'S
PERSPECTIVE. |
| 00:17:49 | >> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR
CAMPAIGN LATER ON. |
| 00:17:52 | THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK YOU
TALK ABOUT YOUR EARLY LIFE AND |
| 00:17:56 | GROWING IT IN OHIO.
YOU CONFESS YOUR MAIDEN NAME IS |
| 00:17:59 | ACTUALLY JUNK.
HECK OF A POLITICAL NAME. |
| 00:18:05 | YOU WRITE ABOUT YOUR MOTHER AND
GRANDMOTHER. |
| 00:18:07 | SELLING ANTIQUES AND YOUR
MOTHER, YOU WRITE, SHE WAS VERY |
| 00:18:13 | SMART AND RESOURCEFUL AND
TRAPPED AT HOME WITH FOUR YOUNG |
| 00:18:17 | WOMEN.
-- YOUNG CHILDREN. |
| 00:18:19 | THESE EXPERIENCES AND TO DRIVE
YOU TOWARD ACHIEVEMENT. |
| 00:18:23 | >> MY MOTHER SENT TO ALL THREE
OF US, I NEVER WANT YOU TO HAVE |
| 00:18:28 | TO DEPEND UPON A MAN.
I THINK SHE CREATED THREE |
| 00:18:33 | DIFFERENT FRANKENSTEINS.
>> THAT IS GREAT THAT YOU HAD |
| 00:18:37 | THAT ROLE MODEL AND ALSO YOUR
GRANDMOTHER WHO WAS RUNNING A |
| 00:18:42 | BUSINESS BACK IN A DAY WHEN
WOMEN WERE NOT AND BUSINESS. |
| 00:18:45 | >> IN SOUTH CHARLESTON, TO BE
FAIR, MY FATHER GAVE ME THE |
| 00:18:51 | EXAMPLE OF HOW TO BE WORKING
OUTSIDE THE HOME AND STILL BE A |
| 00:18:57 | GOOD PARENT YOUR CHILDREN.
WITH MY MOTHER HAVING STAYED |
| 00:19:01 | HOME, LOOKING BACK, I WAS
THINKING ABOUT WHAT MY FATHER |
| 00:19:05 | DID.
HE WAS SELF-EMPLOYED. |
| 00:19:07 | IT WORKED.
>> WHAT DROVE YOU INTO LAW AND |
| 00:19:13 | POLITICS?
>> THIS SENSE TO BE FAIR. |
| 00:19:16 | I ALWAYS LOOKED AT WHAT WOULD BE
FAIR. |
| 00:19:21 | AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE PRACTICE
OF LAW, WHICH FIRST DROVE ME WAS |
| 00:19:26 | TO BE A JUDGE BECAUSE AS MUCH AS
I CAN BE AN ADVOCATE, I WANTED |
| 00:19:30 | TO MAKE SURE THINGS WERE RIGHT.
THAT HELPED ME DEVELOP A LEVEL |
| 00:19:37 | PUBLIC SERVICE.
>> I'M GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT |
| 00:19:39 | FAIRNESS, I WANT TO ASK YOU
ABOUT "I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO |
| 00:19:46 | RUN FOR OFFICE IF I SAY WHAT
HAPPENED." |
| 00:19:50 | >> MOST PEOPLE INTO THE
POLITICAL PARTIES, IT DOES NOT |
| 00:19:55 | MATTER REPUBLICAN OR
DEMOCRATIC, THERE IS A PRESSURE |
| 00:20:01 | TO CONFORM.
THERE IS A PRESSURE NOT TO STEP |
| 00:20:03 | OUT OF LINE AND NOT STAY
ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE FAMILY. |
| 00:20:07 | I THINK THAT IS CHANGING BECAUSE
AS WE STARTED TO SEE HOW |
| 00:20:12 | DIVERSITY AFFECTED THE
ELECTION, IT IS GOING TO AFFECT |
| 00:20:16 | THE POLITICAL PARTIES AS WELL.
WE CANNOT HAVE PEOPLE SHOVED |
| 00:20:21 | INTO CATEGORIES.
WE ARE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND |
| 00:20:25 | WE SAY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE
HAVE ENOUGH WOMEN. |
| 00:20:28 | IF IT HAPPENS TO BE AN AFRICAN-
AMERICAN, WE CAN CHECK TO BOXES |
| 00:20:34 | AND KEEP ALL OF THE OLDER WHITE
MALES WHO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH |
| 00:20:39 | EACH OTHER.
WHEN YOU BRING IN THIS |
| 00:20:43 | DIVERSITY, IT MAKES THINGS LESS
PREDICTABLE. |
| 00:20:45 | I SAID THINGS THAT A LOT OF
PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SAID, I CANNOT |
| 00:20:51 | BELIEVE SHE SAID THAT.
>> WHEN REVIEWERS SAID YOU WERE |
| 00:20:55 | TOO HONEST.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU THOUGHT, |
| 00:20:58 | MAYBE I SHOULD NOT PUT THIS IN
THE BOX. |
| 00:21:01 | >> YES.
WHEN I WROTE THIS, I THREW IT |
| 00:21:08 | OUT THERE AND THEN I THOUGHT, I
DO NOT WANT TO HURT ANYBODY. |
| 00:21:11 | SO I PULLED A LOT BACK.
JUST AS I WAS READY TO -- YOU |
| 00:21:18 | ARE NEVER DONE WITH A BOOK --
BUT JUST AS I WAS READY, I |
| 00:21:22 | THOUGHT THESE THINGS SHOULD BE
INCLUDED. |
| 00:21:25 | BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS I
DID NOT SAY. |
| 00:21:29 | >> TWO AREAS WE CAN LOOK AT, THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND YOUR |
| 00:21:36 | RACE FOR U.S. SENATE.
HE TOOK ON THE ESTABLISHMENT |
| 00:21:41 | WHEN YOU IRAN -- IRAN AGAINST
LEE FISHER IN 2010. |
| 00:21:46 | HE SAID THE DECISION WAS -- YOU
SAID IT WAS NOT ABOUT YOU BUT |
| 00:21:52 | GIVING A VOICE TO WOMEN.
>> I WOULD NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. |
| 00:21:57 | IT WAS UNFORTUNATE THAT I COULD
NOT GET A BETTER ANSWER OUT OF |
| 00:22:03 | THE GOVERNOR WHEN I SAID, THE
WANT ME TO RUN? |
| 00:22:07 | I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HIS HESITANCY
WAS BUT ONCE I WAS IN IT, I HAD |
| 00:22:15 | ALREADY PROMISED WOMEN I WOULD
NOT DROP OUT. |
| 00:22:17 | WE HAVE NEVER HAD A WOMAN
ELECTED GOVERNOR OR SENATOR IN |
| 00:22:24 | OHIO.
IT HAS TO START SOMEPLACE. |
| 00:22:27 | THE WOMEN WHO HAVE MADE IT PAST
THE PRIMARY, MARY BOYLE IN |
| 00:22:35 | 1998, SHE HAD LOST THE PRIMARY
IN 1994. |
| 00:22:40 | BERNADETTE HEALY, NEITHER ONE
CAME FROM A POSITION OF |
| 00:22:48 | STATEWIDE OFFICE.
THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN FIVE WOMEN |
| 00:22:52 | TO ELECTED OFFICE SINCE 18 03.
I WAS BEST POSITIONED AND ONCE I |
| 00:23:00 | SAID I PROMISED, I COULD NOT
BACK AWAY FROM IT. |
| 00:23:03 | IT IS LIKE THIS -- IF YOU'RE
GOING TO START A REVOLUTION, THE |
| 00:23:09 | FIRST ONES OUT GET THEIR HEADS
CUT OFF. |
| 00:23:12 | BUT EVERYONE KEEPS COMING SO YOU
STILL WIN. |
| 00:23:15 | I HAVE HAD PEOPLE SAY TO ME THAT
BECAUSE YOU FINISHED THAT RACE, |
| 00:23:20 | OTHER PEOPLE HAVE OPINIONS BUYER
TO RUN. |
