Obama and Biden push gun steps limited by Congress
Biden with Attorney General and the top U.S. firearms official announced two new limited steps to curb gun violence without congressional backing. A ban targets importing back military grade weapons by private entities, affecting WWII era arms largely. A second rule tightens background checks for guns registered to corporations or trusts, using fingerprint checks for beneficiaries and trustees.

Ohio Tax Plan Cuts Rates and Raises Sales Tax
Ohio officials say the tax plan will cut income tax by 8.5 percent this year, rising to 10 percent by 2015, with refunds issued later. The sales tax increases may push shoppers to cross state lines, and retailers like Hidy Acura and Jake's Marine report consumer caution. Caporale notes the plan could boost Ohio's competitiveness if net taxes fall, while other changes affect property tax rollbacks and business levies.
