House Rejects Governor's Proposal in Ohio Assembly
In Columbus on January 5, the Ohio House rejected Gov. Davey's plan for a 9 member board of inquiry with a $100000 funding, amid a stormy two hour debate. Critics said the move aimed to block the Senate probe into state graft, while supporters claimed it was a Democratic political fight. The vote fell short of required majority, ending the bid, as the Senate pursued its own $40000 inquiry and a $20000 parole investigation.
