Celeste argues Rhodes plan faces long odds on ballot issues
Lt. Gov. Richard F. Celeste says the state Democratic Party has only a long shot to defeat Gov. Rhodes four November ballot proposals. He cites a $2 million well oiled campaign by Rhodes supporters and a loosely knit opposition with no statewide fund-raising effort. He notes District groups and League of Women Voters may oppose three issues while offering no formal campaign. Celeste also discusses consumer complaint funding and disaster aid allocations approved by the governing board as Ohio tackles budgets and federal aid for flood victims.
