Liquor Price Hike Refused by Ohio Governor
Ohio Gov. Frank Lausche criticized the state liquor board for denying higher liquor prices aimed at generating 8 million dollars in extra annual revenue to fund local governments and state salaries. The plan faced opposition from tavern owners and hotel managers during a public hearing. The proposed 25 percent markup and 10 percent wholesale discount would have shifted taxes from private collectors and race tracks and could trigger a special legislative session to address revenue gaps. Local counties listed in the projected gains include Athens and several surrounding counties.
