Ohio Senate set to vote on 96 million tax hike for corporations
The Ohio Senate plans a floor vote on a bill raising the corporation franchise tax by 96 million dollars over two years as part of Gov. DiSalle's 360 million dollar tax program. Senate leaders claim 17 votes are secured, with possible Republican support to reach passage. The measure would boost the tax from one to four mills, yielding an estimated 128 million in two years. Meanwhile the House previously endorsed only two million dollars for corporations. The day also saw a bid to repeal Ohio's guest statute fail 99 to 34, preserving protection for drivers who assist stranded motorists.

High Court Rules On Law Libraries in Ohio
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled municipalities must share with county law libraries the fines and forfeitures up to 1200 dollars a year from Highway Patrol traffic cases prosecuted under state law. This is in addition to a city ordinance share up to 3000 dollars yearly from municipal court cases. The 6 to 0 decision upheld a mandamus requiring Akron’s finance director to pay the law library association half of such fees. The court directs 45 percent of these fees to the city treasurer.
