LOUIE TODAY: Vindy's Ernie Brown; Nitro's dad; Saturday's recycling; Scambook

Join Louie today as he discusses with Ernie Brown his recent bout with prostate cancer and the importance of men, especially black men, to see a doctor and get tested.

Also, Tom Siesto of New York, "Dad" to Nitro, the Rottweiler who was among several dogs starved to death at the hands of a Mahoning Valley kennel owner who was supposed to be training and caring for them, will talk about the Ohio House approval — again — of "Nitro's Law" this week. The measure again moves to the Ohio Senate, which has twice before killed the bill, which would increase the penalties for kennel owners who neglect and/or abuse the animals in their care.

Then Green Youngstown's Jennifer Jones will remind us about Saturday's Great American Clean-up of Youngstown and  electronics recycling drive, and Kase Chong of Scambook will give some insights on the business complaints reporting website.
