Flood relief bills shaping Ohio policy action
In Columbus on April 10 the House passed two flood relief measures, one by Snyder enabling subdivisions to finance bridges and public works, and a Vanderhelde bill to mobilize $5,000,000 through building and loan groups to aid homeowner reconstruction. The same session moved a plan for a new state penitentiary with 1,000 to 1,500 prisoners, plus transfers of inmates between facilities, and a payroll-earnings provision for convict families. The scene included maneuvering on tax, budget and education policy, with party leaders clashing over reform proposals and a pending coal screen bill.
