Ohio Senate committee to study state expense cuts
A Senate committee in Ohio is formed to study economy methods, including salary reductions and staff cuts. The governor may call a summer special session to act on the plan. Legislation must pass this year to affect next year’s salaries, as the legislature cannot change salaries during its term. Taxpayers demand broad cuts, while officials’ salaries vary, making a flat cut unlikely. A percentage reduction has been proposed.
