State House fails to push school tax despite cross party support
Ohio House, 60-39 GOP majority, falls short of 60 votes needed to place a 1 cent sales tax before voters May 5 for a new school funding plan. Twenty-five Democrats backed the measure, while three Chronicle readers' Republicans voted against it, including Batchelder and Kasputis. Speaker Jo Ann Davidson called it a near consensus, but Democrats mocked the effort as a failure to muster conservative support.
