Rhodes faulted as ill fated Ohio constitutional amendments debate
Gov. James A. Rhodes drew praise for his drafters of four ill fated amendments but lawmakers mocked the claim that lawyers shaped the proposals. Lawmakers cited time pressure and failed ballot deadlines as key reasons the proposals and $3.85 billion in bonds did not advance. Senate leaders noted delays and divisions while Rep. Arthur Wilkowski pushed a costly Ohio Rapid Transit plan and Amtrak cooperation, highlighting state transport aims amid fiscal limits.
