Ohio to end commissions for liquor agency contracts

Ohio officials announced stopping commission payments to contract holding liquor agencies after February 25. The move aims to cut a depleting fund as agencies in Cleveland Columbus and other cities received substantial commissions earlier in the year. Fleckner said four agencies earned 53 859 of 8155 603 in the first half of the fiscal year with Hoffman Candy and Ice Cream in Cleveland receiving the largest share. The department will halt checks after tomorrow, hoping the stoppage is temporary. An unrelated note mentions out of season blossoming signaling prior hardships for fruit trees.
