Ohio roads are in bad shape, but do they really cost each Ohio driver $500 a year in
CLEVELAND, Ohio — The White House gave Ohio’s infrastructure a “C-” grade describing 1,377 bridges in the state and more than 4,925 miles of its highways as being in “poor condition.” It also said drivers here spend more than $500 a year fixing their cars because of bad roads.
But how do they come up with that figure? We’re asking on This Week in the CLE.

How does the ACLU say the state prison system has been sticking it to inmates when they receive COVID-19 relief checks?
Why is the Cleveland police disciplinary system so confusing? Two officers received disciplinary letters for a chase that killed 13-year-old Tamia Chapman, seeming to say the investigation is over, but there could be more discipline?
How are a bunch of suburbs east of Cleveland working together to protect the Lake Erie shoreline, and does this mean more public access?
How far have coronavirus hospitalizations dropped for older Ohioans?
