The Spectrum: Bipartisanship in Congress; job interview registry

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – This week on The Spectrum:

• Three Ohio congressmen appear to have cracked the code for bipartisanship.

“I want the tax code to work for people, and this is one example where people need additional help,” Rep. Greg Landsman (D-District 1) said.

“I do not believe that a family should be limited to have a child based on their geography or socioeconomic background,” Rep. Max Miller (R-District 7) said.

Learn about the tax credit they’re pushing for that could help thousands of couples struggling with infertility.

• Some lawmakers at the Ohio Statehouse want to create a new registry for people who skip job interviews.

“It just modernizes the hiring process and it holds applicants accountable,” Ohio Rep. Bill Lorenz (R-Powell) said.

“This bill is another answer looking for a question,” Ohio Rep. Bill DeMora (D-Columbus) said.
