Kucinich marks first year in office amid low key events
In Cleveland mayor Dennis J. Kucinich’s first anniversary in office there was little fanfare as he stayed hidden at a retreat and made only one public appearance in a month. Since taking office November 14, 1977, the youthful mayor has been highly active, clashing with officials, vetoing repeatedly, and stirring controversy while pursuing reform. Also in Columbus, Rep Corwin Nixon was chosen as next minority leader of the Republican House Caucus amid GOP leadership shifts. The Ohio Ethics Commission seeks power to publicize ethics cases, augmenting disclosure rules now limited to prosecutions.
