Ohio Legislature Enacts sweeping progressive reforms
The seventy-ninth Ohio General Assembly adopted direct election of U S Senators, workers compensation, tighter public utilities control, a central board of control, a one per cent tax cap with a 15 mill option, nonpartisan judiciary, and an initiative referendum for cities. It also created a public service commission, a state building code, and broad reforms in education, canal policy, and road building while expanding local government powers and enforcing anti bribery and campaign finance measures.
