Backers of stripclub bill lose momentum

Columbus, OH – For months, it's appeared likely that Ohio legislators would pass a new law slapping statewide limits on x-rated video stores and topless bars. After all, state representatives had passed a similar proposal overwhelmingly the past 2 sessions.....and a citizens group was adding even more pressure with a petition drive.

Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen reports.
