Ohio drivers are seeing another slight bump at the gas pump to start the work week.

A gallon of regular gas in Ohio is listed at an average of $3.70 in today's survey from auto club AAA and its partners . That's 3 cents more than last Monday's average of $3.67.

The national average for regular gas is about $3.67 per gallon, down about 2 cents from a week ago.

The lowest average price in Ohio was about $3.64 in the Youngstown and Warren areas in northeast Ohio.

Ohio officials have delayed approving plans for two new racetrack casinos.

The Ohio State Racing Commission says the developer's designs for proposed racinos in Dayton and in Austintown, near Youngstown, don't include enough seating for horse race spectators.

The Dayton Daily News reports that race commissioners plan to wait at least a week before deciding to approve the plans, which include slots-like video terminals at both locations.
