RARE PHOTO-OP--Senate President Richard Finan, R-Cincinnati, gathers members of his caucus together on the floor of the Senate to settle a disagreement, during a recess of session, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, May 23, 2001. Caucus meetings are always held behind closed doors. Also seen are clockwise from Finan: Sen. Randy Gardner, R-Bowling Green, Sen. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, Sen. Jeff Jacobson, R-Brookville, Sen. Kevin Coughlin, R-Cuyahoga Falls, Sen. Jay Hottinger, R-Newark, Sen. Bruce Johnson, R-Columbus, Sen. Jim Carnes, R-St. Clairsville, and Sen. Bill Harris, R-Ashland. The disagreement began when Sen. Jordan said that a Democratic amendment to the budget bill made sense. (JACK KUSTRON/photoj.com)
