Lawmakers debated exotic animals, extraction of Great Lakes water and the Governor's big budget update. But the House called off a vote to repeal the big election reform law on the fall ballot at the last minute. Gov. Kasich and some of his staff were involved in a car crash this week on I-71 in downtown Columbus - and there are two big twists to that story.

Much of this week's show is about life after work. There are two main systems that people tap into to retire, and there are plenty of arguments on which is better - the defined-benefit plan such as a pension, or the defined-contribution plan such as a 401(k). Making those arguments are Diane Oakley is with the National Institute on Retirement Security and Andrew Biggs is with the American Enterprise Institute. In the studio to talk more about the state of Ohio's pension system versus some other options are Lisa Morris, the executive director of the School Employees Retirement System of Ohio, the third largest of the state's five pension system with more than $10 billion in assets and 125,000 active employees and more than 67,000 beneficiaries - and Matt Mayer, who researched, wrote and spoke extensively about Ohio's pension funds when he was the president of the conservative think tank the Buckeye Institute - he's now a visiting fellow with the Heritage Foundation.
