Column: ''Ohio's new (Supreme Court) palace in Columbus''

Given how much the Ohio Supreme Court has been in the news of late, we thought this April 21 Peter Bronson column, published in the Cincinnati Enquirer, would be of interest:

"While Ohio is digging in the couch cushions for spare change like a wino in a bus station, the Ohio Supreme Court is building a new palace bigger than the Capitol.

Lawmakers gave the Court $85 million to repair, renovate and remodel the old Ohio Departments Building near the Capitol in Columbus.

The 1933 Art Deco building will be restored like a treasured relic on Antiques Roadshow. A project manager compares it to the Omni Netherland Plaza Hotel in Cincinnati.

It sounds like a beautiful treasure, worthy of historic restoration.

But the timing couldn't be worse. The appropriations for the project began in 1997 when the tax spigot was wide open and the revenue trough was overflowing.

But now the state is so desperate, Gov. Square Bob Sponge Tax wants to tax cable and satellite TV. That makes the court's palace look nearly as tacky as Saddam's Playboy mansions next door to starving Iraqis."
