Baseline Established by Warnes Law and Hanna Tale
A 1914 Portage County tax case shows Dan Hanna underreported assets, fled to Europe, then paid a large back tax after an assessor’s correction.

It also notes a June 11 joint meeting of Democratic committees in Columbus to discuss Eighty‑first General Assembly referendums and preserves on major laws amid political shifts.
