Speaker 1 (00:00):
Verizon says some customers around Ohio could be unable to
call nine to one one. Specifically, yesterday, the Hancock County
nine to one one coordinator was notified of an issue
with Verizon wireless calls. The Hancock County Sheriff's Office and
the Finlay PD say you can still text to nine
to one one, but if you're having trouble reaching them
(00:22):
via phone call, you should try their non emergency phone
lines instead. Verizon has not put out a timeline for
fixing the problem. In many households, it's a constant battle
as to where to set the thermostat well now. A
new proposal in the Ohio General Assembly would allow the
utility company to remotely adjust your thermostat. Ostensibly, it would
(00:43):
help the utilities relieve pressure on the electric grid. We
get details with iHeartRadio's Travis Laird.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
State lawmakers are considering a new way to relieve pressure
on Ohio's power grid.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Rep.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Roy Klopfenstein is proposing a voluntary program that would let
you utilities remotely adjust thermostats and water heaters during peak demand.
Customers could opt out, but supporters say it would reduce
blackout risk and stabilize prices. The plan needs lawmaker approval
and final sign off from the Public Utilities Commission. I'm
Travis Laird.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Meanwhile, another bill has been introduced in Columbus that would
bring public schools into the effort to identify victims and
kids at risk for human trafficking. State Rep. Josh Williams
says it's needed because Ohio consistently ranks in the top
five states for human trafficking.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Punishment on the back end is not good enough. We
need prevention as well, and this is one of the
preventative tools that we've designed here in the state of Ohio,
and we want to continue to use it and allocate
funds to make sure that this can cut down on
the chances of our juveniles being human trafficked in the
state of Ohio.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Williams thinks the bill may be wrapped into the Human
Trafficking Prevention Act, which passed in the Ohio House unanimously
in June and is now in the Senate House. Bill
four thirty one would require school districts to screen each
student every year for human trafficking. The screening would help
identify students who are being trafficked or are at risk
(02:11):
of it. And those students would then get the help
they need and the state would build the database of
the hotspots for the crime. The nation's largest maximum security
prison is beginning a new role hosting an ice detention facility.
We get More with Fox's Gernal Scott.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry said this Louisiana lockup is in
a location that discourages escape attempts, even by the worst
migrant criminals.

forest field with.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Bears within this prison, Camp fifty seven can hold hundreds
of detainees. Homeland Security Secretary Christymes says the most violent
immigrants will come here.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Those individuals are being moved from other facilities around the
country to be here so that they are co local.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
For many, this lock up will be the last stop
before deportation. Grinall Scott, Fox News.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Those backing the proposed expansion of passenger rail service in
Ohio were delta blow by a new state plan. The
Dayton Daily News reports that the Ohio Rail Development Commission
publicized its working draft of the state's rail plan, and
it emphasizes an expansion of freight service and downplays the
importance of passenger rail. The final chapter of the document
(03:31):
outlines the state's long term vision for rail service. Three
passenger recommendations covering northern Ohio were specifically listed as not
currently under consideration, while the Ohio Freight Plan takes top priority.
And the company that owns a Cedar Point could be
headed toward bankruptcy. Six flags second quarter earnings report shows
(03:52):
that attendance is down nine percent, revenue dropped by one
hundred million, and the company is carrying five billion dollars
in debt. Industry experts say bankruptcy is on the table
and as many as half of six Flags parks could
be sold. For the latest news at the top hand
