As of Sept. 26, Ohio's prisons held 50,855 people, which is 688 more than in January 2012 when death row was moved from Mansfield Correctional Institution and the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown to CCI.

A secondary reason given for moving death row is the age of CCI it was built in the 1930s as a federal reformatory makes it unsuitable for the needs of an aging population; the average age of death row inmates is nearly 50. Chris Mabe, Ohio Civil Service Employees Association president, said he was "disheartened" to learn of the change after the decision was made instead of bringing the union into the discussion. "We've been moving people around more in the last five years than we have in the last 25," Mabe said, noting that it's difficult on both families of inmates and staff. He's concerned about what repercussions may come because of the move, including staffing levels at Toledo and any potential shifts in funding. Once the 126 death row inmates housed at CCI are moved, the unit will be converted shortly after to house higher security, Level 3 inmates whose movements are monitored more closely.

The change will increase the number of beds in the unit from about 125 to 250. The previous move to CCI was touted for freeing up space for 300 beds between the prisons in Mansfield and Youngs- town. Chillicothe was selected, in part, for its central location between getting medical service in Columbus and the execution chamber in Lucasville. In following with CCI's focus as a reintegration prison for low-level offenders, Smith said the Level 3 unit will be used as aregional center geared to ready higher-level inmates for release. It will be the first regional release preparation center in the state.

But she also had message to frustrated or angry Ohioans considering a vote for Trump: think anger is not a While Clinton is pulling ahead in many national polls, Ohio remains a tight race. Both candidates are among the least liked in recent history, and voters have questioned trustworthiness after the FBI admonished her private email server and WikiLeaks revealed details from her paid speeches.

Both candidates need their biggest fans to vote, especially if some apathetic Ohioans sit this election out. fans include Stefanie Williams, of Canfield, who attended grade school with Chelsea Clinton.

WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service touches everyone, not just taxpayers but anyone who receives a government check, drives on roads made possible by tax revenue or sends a child to a school helped by Washington. a touch that can come with a heavy hand, in the eyes of critics who believe the far-reaching powers are abused and need to be tamed.

Where they stand Republican Donald most explicit views about the agency have been on the personal level he says been under a continuing multiyear IRS audit, and why he release his tax returns, as other presidential candidates do. also boasted that his use of business losses to zero out his tax liability shows smart. tax plan reduces the number of tax brackets but does not envisage dismantling the IRS, as its fiercest critics want. Democrat Hillary Clinton has said little about the powers of the IRS except to suggest Trump would use them to go after his opponents. sure to fight attempts by congressional Republicans to cut the budget.

Why it matters No one loves the IRS. Many Republicans, though, unlike most Democrats, talk of abolishing it. That idea never materializes. Even a smaller government could not function without an agency responsible for collecting revenue and going after tax cheats. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen says one thing to simplify the tax code a good idea, he offers but another to think the country can get by without tax collectors.

could call them something other than the IRS if that made you feel he has said to the critics. With some 90,000 employees, a massive stockpile of information on citizens and powers to dig deep into the lives of those it decides to investigate, the IRS is in the face of Americans like no other agency. become even more so since it was handed the job of enforcing the mandate that people carry health insurance. The potential for abusing power is obvious, and it has happened most vividly at the hands of President Richard Nixon but also in the administrations of John Kennedy, Franklin Roosevelt and more, historians say. During the Obama administration, the IRS has acknowledged mistreatment of tea party groups by subjecting them to excessive scrutiny in their bid for tax- exempt status.

But investigations by the Justice Department and the independent inspector general found no evidence that actions against the conservative groups were politically motivated. Koskinen took over after the IRS actions in question but has not been clear of the controversy. Conservative lawmakers pressed unsuccessfully to impeach him, accusing him of lying to Congress, not answering subpoenas and overseeing an agency that destroyed documents in the tea party case. He denied the accusations and told lawmakers that when he testified in June 2014 that no documents had been destroyed since congressional investigations began, he know that IRS workers had mistakenly destroyed backup tapes bearing thousands of emails. As for getting rid of the IRS altogether, even libertarian-leaning analysts say a stretch.

Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute, a former senior economist with Joint Economic Committee, says even the most simplified tax code would require 10,000 to 20,000 tax collectors. going to have federal taxes, you need an agency to collect he said. The Libertarian Party presidential candidate, Gary Johnson, has said like to eliminate the IRS and any other federal agency that Congress might vote to dismantle. But that, he said, would take magic IRS an important issue for all citizens ANDREW TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS FRIDAY NUMBERS Pick 3 (D): 0-3-7 Pick 4 (D): 0-8-6-2 Pick 5 (D): 9-9-5-4-2 Rolling Cash 5: 10-25-27-28-36 Pick 3 7-6-7 Pick 4: 3-1-4-6 Pick 5: 3-6-1-9-1 Mega Millions: 12-43-44-48-66 Mega Ball: 3 Megaplier: 4 LOTTERIES.
