First Wet and Dry Alignment in Ohio Assembly Session
In Columbus March 29 the Vollenweider liquor stamp bill sparked the first wet and dry alignment of the session. The dry side won a narrow margin as the Senate Temperance Committee had recommended passage, while a motion to recommit failed 11 to 12. Two liquor license decentralization bills were introduced in the House, one by Kohl of Cleveland proposing county licenses via Common Pleas Courts with reduced fees, and another by Andrews of Marion proposing a single county dispenser chosen at primary elections. Governor Willis vetoed the Collins bill requiring proxies be dated signed and delivered within a year. A separate measure by Bauer of Cincinnati tightens inland fishing regulations to limit gear to lines with up to three hooks.
