GOP seeks action on jobless bill in Ohio
Ohio House Republicans plan to move an unemployment compensation bill from the rules committee this week after it has been frozen since August. The measure, already passed by the Senate, would raise benefits by 2 percent and broaden coverage. A Columbus Day break preceded today’s Senate session and tomorrow’s House return. A six member joint conference committee met to push a budget tax compromise with aims for partial agreement on spending by week’s end, and probable delays on new taxes. The panel reportedly supports biennial appropriations needing 850 to 900 million dollars in new revenue, including funds for an elderly homestead tax exemption.
