Ohio bill on public funding for governor race stalls
A 48 to 48 tie defeated the plan to fund the governor's race with taxpayer money in Ohio. The measure would have let taxpayers donate via tax returns to a gubernatorial fund, with up to 1.25 million for candidates who promise no private funding. Opponents argued public financing won’t curb influence from big donors or lobbies.

House OKs Bargaining Bill For Ohio Public Employes
The Ohio House approved 61 to 37 a bill to establish collective bargaining for about 510,000 public employees. Senate action is unlikely to accept House changes, sending the measure to a conference committee. The House also passed nine other bills and advanced a constitutional amendment to repeal the $750,000 debt limit, placing it on the November ballot. The Senate approved a ban on direct utility-ratepayer advertising and moved a fluorocarbon propellants ban forward, aiming for April 15, 1979. Conferees on the state budget struggled without progress amid a looming adjournment.
