Vermilion Hails Bristol Bay Ice Cutter Breaks Vermilion River
The U S Coast Guard sent the 140 foot ice cutter Bristol Bay to clear ice at the Vermilion River mouth amid January thaw fears. Mayor Hobart Johnson said the vessel, longest to enter the river by at least 30 feet, broke ice with ease and reached the first lagoon in about an hour. He noted warmer weather could worsen conditions, possibly requiring another local ice breaking effort upstream.

Rhodes vows no new taxes in budget plan
Gov. James A. Rhodes promises no new or increased taxes in the 1982-83 state budget to be presented February 4. He says a small pay raise for state employees is likely, and temporary taxes totaling 395 million that expire June 30 will not appear in the new plan, though further tax considerations could arise as the budget goes through the General Assembly. Rhodes supports a raise for workers but stops short of endorsing a $1 hourly hike plus 12 percent cost of living adjustment proposed by the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association.
