Ohio relief law expires Thursday amid partisan clash
Governor Davey accuses Senate Republicans of narrow partisanship as the Ohio relief law nears midnight expiration. More than 7 000 relief workers face job loss with no emergency clause. Democrats failed to advance a civil service provision, risking the administration of funds without a legal agency. Statewide relief totals show 1 055 paid at the central office and 6 442 in counties. Senator Pollock defends civil service as the showdown over merit governs the distribution of relief funds.
