Under the bill, the limits would increase to $150,000 per mile for road work and $300,000 per mile for bridges. “For many years, state law has recognized that certain projects can be done more efficiently and effectively without resorting to competitive bidding. In order to accomplish this policy goal, projects with estimated costs below certain thresholds are exempt from competitive bidding,” Noonan said in his testimony. “For counties, these thresholds, or force account limits, are $30,000 per mile for road work and $100,000 per mile for bridges. Unfortunately, these limits were established in 2003 and have not been adjusted since, despite significant increases in construction inflation.” CCAO President Tim Bubb also wrote a letter to Senate President Matt Huffman expressing support for increasing the force account limits. “CCAO members believe that the quality of our infrastructure has a tremendous impact on the economic development potential of our state.

It opened its doors to its first class on September 17, 1873, under Edward Orton as its first President, but it was not to inaugurate its first lectures in government until 1875, when William Colvin, of Cincinnati, was designated as Professor of Political Economy and Civil Polity. He remained for only two years; he was not reappointed in 1877 so that his salary would be av�ilable for a Professor of Mines, Mine Engineering and Metallurgy, whose employment had been mandated by The State Legislature, without provision of an appropriation for his salary. In 1878 the name of the institution was changed to The Ohio State University. In 1879 the Board of Trustees created a Department of History and PLilosophy with John T. Short of Columbus as Assistant Professor. Two ye�s later, in 1881, the second president, Walter Q. Scott, was named for the institution with the additional title of Professor of Philosophy and Political Economy. He was a native of Dayton and had been teaching at Wooster College.

  • Retrospective
    THE ROAD TO EQUALITY AND THE PASSAGE OF THE FIRST CIVIL RIGHTS LAW IN OHIO “But every just man, jealous of his own rights, should have a heart open to feel, an ear open to hear, and an eye quick to see the invasions of the rights of others, especially of this race, long bound in the chains of slavery, and deprived of legal personality. It is for you, therefore, to consider whether there is any danger in this direction to any citizen or sojourner in Ohio, and if there be, to provide by apt legislation in advance, for prompt and severe punishment, not discriminating, however, between white and black, but furnishing the same relief against the same wrong to both.” Governor George Hoadly Inaugural Address to the Ohio General Assembly, 1884 In the summer of 1843, almost two Although the Ohio Constitution of decades prior to the start of the 1803 outlawed slavery in the state great Civil War fought by a Nation (a requirement of the Northwest Or‐ divided by the issue of slavery, Afri‐ dinance of 1787), African Americans can Americans from across Ohio still faced invidious discrimination convened for three days in the state in all facets of life, and in fact some capital.

  • Hamilton County, Ohio Government Reform Task Force
    HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO GOVERNMENT REFORM TASK FORCE Report to the Hamilton County Commission September 2010 September 3, 2010 Board of County Commissioners Hamilton County, Ohio Honorable Members of the County Commission: The Government Reform Task Force that you established herewith submits its report in accordance with the direction set forth in the resolution adopted by the Board. The Task Force worked hard to learn about the current structure of Hamilton County government and to study alternative approaches. We heard presentations from those with knowledge bearing on our assignment and carefully evaluated their testimony and the consequences of alternative approaches to governance. We were concerned throughout about the effectiveness and efficiency of County operations, as was the Board in creating the Task Force. These were major considerations leading to the recommendations in this report. We understood that the functions of county government are set forth in state and federal law and were not our focus. Our goal was to identify reforms that would increase accountability and help taxpayers get the best bang for our buck. The structure in use today dates from 1851 and contains many opportunities for improvement. Even so, we were impressed with and have the utmost respect for the talent and commitment of all of the elected and appointed officials who serve Hamilton County today and with whom we met. We recommend that the County Commission implement a staged approach to reform. The first stage, which can be directly placed on the ballot by the Board, draws on the option in Chapter 302 of the Revised Code of the State of Ohio.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Case Western Reserve Law Review by an authorized administrator of Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons. THE STRANGE CAREER OF RACE DISCRIMINATION IN ANTEBELLUM OHIO Paul Finkelmant The commonly told history of antebellum race relations in the midwest, especially in Ohio, is one of a bleak and dismal landscape, with discrimination everywhere. This view is expressed best by Leon Litwack's assertion that on the eve of the Civil War "the northern Negro remained largely disenfranchised, segregated, and economi- cally oppressed" and, just as importantly, "change did not seem im- minent."1 Similarly, Eugene Berwanger's influential book The Fron- tier Against Slavery claimed that "[d]iscrimination against Negroes in the Middle West reached its height between 1846 and 1860, the same years in which the slavery extension controversy became most ' acute. , The best study of post-civil war race relations in Ohio sum- marized the antebellum period with the glum conclusion, "[t]he late 1850s found most Ohio blacks pariahs, restricted and scorned, living in the state but in no accurate sense citizens."3 The author noted that national issues-the new, draconian Fugitive Slave Law of 18504 and6 the Dred Scott decision 5-" made the black position even less secure t Chapman Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Tulsa College of Law; B.A., Syracuse, 1971; M.A.
