MINORITY PARTY BLUES--Sen. Robert Hagan, D-Youngstown, reacts to hearing another Democratic amendment to the budget-corrective bill being tabled by the Republicans, during session, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, June 27, 2001. Rather than vote against an amendment, in this case to restore money for the aid to senior citizens, Passport program, the majority party simply votes to table the amendment thereby killing it without having the negative vote on their record.
