Idle Pay Bill Appears Certain in Ohio House
The Ohio House, after a caucus, seems poised to pass an unemployment compensation bill over expected Democratic amendments. The measure aims to restore the unemployment fund to about 450 million by increasing employer contributions and to roll back 1959 liberalizations, a move AFL-CIO says shifts the burden to jobless workers. The session included highway bills, expanded Blue Cross nursing and home care coverage, higher business incorporation and title search fees, and abolition of the Ohio Aviation Board. The Senate advanced several items, including tax appeals and property assessment discrimination oversight.
