Local government funds face cuts under Taft budget plan
Ohio lawmakers and local officials gathered as Gov. Bob Taft proposed a 2005 06 budget reducing local government funding by up to 20 percent for cities and counties and 5 percent for libraries.

Jolivette urged voters to decide on casino gambling to boost tax revenue.
