No repeal attempt likely for Ohio fair housing law
Ohio homeowners and real estate groups indicated they will educate members and live with the 1965 law banning housing discrimination. Despite initial plans for a statewide repeal ballot, polling showed little support and time is running out for May primaries. Only 10 complaints have been filed with the Civil Rights Commission, with nine still under investigation and no lawsuits filed challenging the law’s constitutionality.

New York Transit Talks End in Frustration at City Hall
In New York City the 10 day bus and subway strike stalled at City Hall as the union chief called the talks completely unproductive and meaningless. Mayor Lindsay signaled a recess while traffic rumbled through Manhattan. The TA sought daily damages of 322000 while unions disputed offers and a 50 million figure was floated but rejected.
