Ohio Chamber Opposes School Funding Increase in Senate Bill
The Ohio State Chamber of Commerce opposes a Senate bill boosting public school funding by 56.78 million dollars, arguing it would raise the biennial appropriation by about 17 million over 1943-44. Proposals to offset costs include veto, cuts to other departments, dipping into surplus funds, or relying on higher revenue. The dispute centers on how much the state should spend on operating expenses for 1945-46 versus 1943-44, with governor Lausche defending his recommended amount as fair.
