IT'S SUPERFLUOUS--Senate President Richard Finan, R-Cincinnati, smiles as he speaks with reporters about a variety of matters, following session, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, June 13, 2001. When asked about Sen. Bruce Johnson's letter to Sen. Louis Blessing concerning his withdrawal of support for Video Lottery Terminals, Finan said that since there wasn't any Democratic support the matter was "superfluous." (Jack Kustron/Photoj.com)
