Riffe Says No Politics Behind Governor's Sin Tax Fight
Speaker Vern Riffe denied Gov. George Voinovich's charge that House Democrats blocked the governor's plan to raise alcohol and tobacco taxes to appeal to voters. Riffe, backing his caucus, argued no need for tax increases now and questioned the legality of proposed cuts. The governor plans to proceed with spending reductions to address a projected 520 million deficit, hoping the economy improves to offset 150 million.

The Plain Dealer reported Martin J. Hughes former international VP of the Communications Workers of America ran in the June 2 Democratic primary for a precinct committee post in Cleveland despite a 1987 felony conviction that could bar office holding.
