Ohio Senate to vote on constitutional amendment on out-of-state appointees
The Ohio Senate begins its 11th week with a three-fifths vote needed in both houses to place an amendment on the ballot to bar future out-of-state appointees from top state posts. Gov. ONeill opposes a separate bill to raise auto and driver license fees for deputy registrars. He warns of a veto if it passes. The administration also questions a plan to abandon the sales tax stamp system, which could cut $230 million in revenue, though leaders see potential $11 million in annual savings. The House approved blanket emergency vehicle status for private ambulances and a bill to require the Wildlife Division chief to pay school taxes on state lands.
