Toledo Democrat begins campaign for governor
Bruce Douglas a 64 year old Toledo multimillionaire developer launched his bid for the Democratic nomination for Ohio governor on May 5. He urged tax increases to fund education, proposing a 1 percent sales tax hike and cigarette tax to 49 cents, while promising a 20 percent cut in property taxes. He criticized rivals Lee Fisher and Bob Taft for not outlining education plans, and said he would spend what it takes to push his ideas. Fisher's camp noted his plan favors program cuts over tax hikes.
