Ohio lawmakers agree on employee pay raise and tax cut
A six member conference committee of Democrats and Republicans reached a bipartisan agreement on a state employee pay raise and a simplified income tax relief plan. The package provides raises based on income, with the largest 30 cent increase for workers under 8000, and a 10 cent rise for higher earners. It also raises the personal exemption from 500 to 650 dollars, effective with 1975 returns filed in 1976, and includes a $45 million aid boost to primary and secondary schools, potentially adding nearly 20 dollars per pupil over the next 11 months. The deal awaits votes in the House and Senate next Tuesday with a committee sign-off Monday.

The package would raise pay for workers earning under 12 000 dollars yearly, with smaller boosts for higher earners as unions push for broader amnesty and continued job action.
