AAA Expects Slight Decline In Holiday Travel

An estimated 1.3 million Ohioans plan to travel over the Memorial Day weekend. Ohio AAA spokesperson Kimberly Schwind says it's down a little bit from last year -- and there's more bad news for businesses that depend on travelers.

Schwind says the picture should improve in the upcoming months, though.
