Plans To Start Ripper Legislation In Ohio
Governor Bricker announced early next week plans to push reorganizing laws in state Civil Service and Tax Commissions. Aimed at reducing Democratic donor influence, the move likely dismisses many staffers and reshapes policy. The administration favors a three member Civil Service panel and stricter tax collection, with an anti-collusion provision to guard state contracts. The General Assembly nears final passage of a $43 million six month appropriation bill.
