COLUMBUS - Gov. Bob Taft - himself stung last year by unreported gifts including rounds of golf - has proposed banning any gifts to statewide officials, department heads and their employees from lobbyists and consultants seeking to influence state contracts.
Taft, a Republican, urged leaders of the GOP-dominated House and Senate on Thursday to change state laws on lobbying and state contracts before the Legislature's break.
