BUDGET CORRECTION BILL #3--Scott Pullins, Executive Director Ohio Taxpayers Association and OTA Foundation, listens to testimony before the House Finance Committee, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2003. Today Gov. Bob Taft said that he would accept a temporary sales tax increase rather that his original proposal to raise taxes on alcohol and tobacco, which the House plans to reject. Mr. Pullins told photoj.com that he "agrees with the House version," would "like to wait until March or April to see where revenues are," and "still favors increased cuts," in state programs. House Bill 40 is the third attempt to balace the budget due to shortfalls in revenue and incorrect projections. (Jack Kustron/Photoj.com)
