Ohio politicians faced mixed outcomes this weekend with party endorsements and policy proposals. The Cleveland Plain Dealer endorsed John Glenn for the Democratic Senate race and Robert Taft for the Republican nomination, while backing Glenn over Taft on the Senate side. Taft criticized Governor Rhodes over alleged conflicts of interest and disclosure gaps. Rhodes received a White House note promising federal review to cut waste in welfare programs. Lukens and Brown issued position statements on governance and a 24 hour state help center to route consumer and legal issues. Brown proposed a 24 hour state assistance center covering 70 departments and including consumer fraud, workers compensation, veterans’ claims, drug violations, and antitrust matters.
