The Interactive Video Distance Learning series At Your Service: How Government Works with special guests Attorney General Mark Dann and Speaker of the House Jon Husted continued last Tuesday at the WOSU@COSI studios. Ohio Attorney General Mark Dann interacted live with Bishop Hartley, Kenston Local, Warren Local, Beachwood Local, and Lake Academy schools with countless others watching the session. Later that day, students from Bishop Hartley, Eastern Local, Norwalk, Sheffield-Sheffield Lake, and Put-In-Bay were able to pose some great questions to Speaker Jon Husted as numerous other sites watched the action from that session unfold. Questions to both gentleman included questions about the economy and building new oil refineries, the constitutionality of school funding in Ohio, and environmental issues.
Both politicians spoke about the importance of students getting involved in their local communities. They encouraged volunteering in an area students feel passionate about. An archive of these sessions can be viewed at http://sg60.oar.net/OSC/index.php by clicking on the "Archived Sessions" link.
