Flood of bill introduced in legislature
In Columbus Ohio February 4 pressure rose in the House as majority leaders plan to use caucus support to back a tax resolution. The Democratic minority is solid against it with only a few Republicans likely to defect. The nine member committee would draft tax legislation and three appointees would come from each branch plus Governor White, who will not appoint his three. The move is labeled political by opponents. The bill faces committee review before potential House action later in the week. Auto license bill gets first hearing before the House Motor Vehicles Committee.
