Columbus man sentenced for using stolen ID for healthcare 
A man who authorities said used a stolen identity to get more than $400,000 in medical care from an Ohio State University hospital has been sentenced to three years in prison.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that 41-year-old Kenneth A. Marshall was sentenced Thursday in Columbus.  Authorities say he posed as a South Carolina man for five years.  He said he did it to get better care for his ailments, which he said includes multiple sclerosis.

But even his attorney said he probably could have gotten care from Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center or some other hospital with his own identity.

An investigation found that between 1990 and 2008, Marshall had been arrested and charged with at least six counts of forgery, along with other crimes.

Ohio lawmaker calls for aerospace boost
An Ohio lawmaker wants to form a special panel that would work to boost the state's aerospace business.

Rep. Rick Perales, a Beavercreek Republican, says the state can do more to court and promote the aerospace and technology industry in the state. The Dayton Daily News reports that he introduced a bill this week that would create the aerospace panel.

The 13-member Aerospace and Technology Study Committee would have six legislators — three from the House and three from the Senate, and seven members from industry, academia and the military from around Ohio.

The aerospace and defense industry is big business in Ohio with more than 130,000 workers and 1,200 suppliers. The Dayton-Cincinnati region has ranked at the top of aerospace product and aviation parts producers in the nation.
