name for himself when he ran for president in twenty

President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency. Ramaswami is expected to

They're called drug recognition experts and are employed through the

tests are heading to Florida next week for final field
certification evaluations.

That's the one ens Yolanda Harris reporting. Speaking of patrolling
the highways, you may have noticed a lot more highway
patrol officers this past weekend on I seventy five. That

hundred and fifty four drivers were cited for and mental
health is a top priority in Ohio Governor Mike Dwine's
new working budget. Dwine wants to expand mental health services
across the Buckeye State. Specifically, the plan calls for opening
more state psychiatric hospitals, expanding mobile crisis services, and continuing

(04:18):
to fund the state's nine to eighty eight suicide and
crisis hotline. One concern is the lack of available beds
in psychiatric hospitals. The Colubus Dispatch reports that nine out
