Stark lawmakers push daylight time and slots bills in Ohio General Assembly
Stark County legislators introduced two explosive measures. A constitutional amendment would let the state set time standards, while another would enforce daylight saving time across all municipalities from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in September. Support from three Democrats requires three fifths in each chamber and a statewide vote. Republican Hiner sought to outlaw slot machines with hefty fines and prison terms. He also proposed a $10 trailer fee and a five member sanitary board. Senate input by Orval Whitacre from Minerva rounds out the report.
