Ohio plan to buy Israel bonds attacked
In Columbus a Republican on the House State Government Committee challenged Treasurer Mary Ellen Withrow to explain a bill to invest public funds in Israel bonds. Rep. Lynn Wachtmann would summon Withrow to testify as the measure faces Arab American opposition and questions about financial and political implications. The bill as amended would allow foreign investments up to 10 percent of the portfolio, with a $3.5 billion total, while retirement systems already may buy Israel bonds.

Candle vigil for timely child support set in Elyria
Mothers and fathers struggling with child support will hold a candle light vigil at 7 p.m. Monday on Ely Square. Debbie Kline of the Association for Children for Enforcement of Support notes the aim is to spark hope for forgotten children and highlight issues from irregular payments. The group cites welfare savings from strict enforcement and mentions a new congress bill to standardize child support ahead of taxes. Local coordinator Karin DeRichie says the aim is to make non payment socially unacceptable and attract new members. Lorain County chapter has about 60 members with an $18 join fee. Monthly meetings are 7 p.m. on the fourth Thursday at Lorain County Community College, though room varies in the College Center.
