AND THE WINNER IS--Rep. Bryan Flannery, D-Lakewood, presents a personal check for $1,000 to Bill Buckel, of Columbus, for coming up with the school-funding plan that Flannery judged to be the best, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday, June 8, 2000. Flannery held close to 40 forums statewide and received over 160 ideas. (JACK KUSTRON/photoj.com)
