Legion Refuses State Funds Despite Court Ruling
GALLIPOLIS The American Legion Department of Ohio will refuse state funds for rehabilitation work even after an appeals court ruling. E L Roberts, eighth division commander, says two Cincinnati attorneys led the effort to block appropriations. To offset the budget gap, two resolutions to raise annual per-member dues by 50 cents will be proposed at the Cincinnati convention, effective immediately. The article notes VFW and DAV still receive state appropriations, and a bill to transfer rehabilitation duties to the state is anticipated in the next session.
