Public Printing Battle in Ohio Legislature Sparks Critique
A Athens Messenger report denounces a House printing bargain favoring Samuel Medary. It claims a contract to print for the session would cost Ohio from two to four thousand dollars more than necessary, criticizing Democratic and Free Soil lawmakers for backing Medary’s terms and urging public oversight to curb corruption. The piece ends with a plea for voters to pressure representatives to stop the allegedly rigged arrangement.
