Ohio lawmakers weigh pay raise bill fate for Rhodes
Democratic leaders in the Ohio General Assembly face a hot decision on a 28.6 percent pay raise bill for lawmakers and up to 31.5 percent for officials. Senate leader Oliver Ocasek plans to poll his colleagues and may push sending the bill to Gov. Rhodes despite a likely veto. He notes only 15 of 21 Senate Democrats supported passage and that reconsideration is unlikely unless a strong coalition forms.
