Tobacco money may decrease deficits
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Faced with a ballooning budget deficit, Gov. Bob Taft has proposed borrowing $100 million of the state's share of the national tobacco settlement to balance the books.

part of a $206 billion national settlement in 1998, as budget deficits grow in the face of an economy weakened by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
His proposal has disappointed anti-smoking advocates who saw Taft as a strong voice for using the money on health-related programs.
Governors and lawmakers around the country have been turning to the tobacco money.
"The tobacco dollars can be used in any way the states see fit," said Lee Dixon, a Washington analyst with the National Conference on State Legislatures. "The case can be made that the states are using the tobacco money to continue current services, and if they did not use tobacco money, they would have to eliminate
The National Conference of State Legislatures released a report in August showing that only 5 percent of tobacco settlement money was being used for smoking prevention. Some states used the settlement money to make up shortfalls in state budgets and fund programs that had nothing to do with smoking.
some health programs."
At least four other states have used the money in the past year to balance their budgets, and more are considering such a move.
Anti-smoking groups are not happy.
"The current budget crunch that a lot of states are facing threats to undermine all of the progress that's been made in funding effective programs to reduce tobacco use among children," said Matthew Myers, president of the Washington-based Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
Taft defends his plan as a fiscally responsible approach to a serious budget crisis.
Miami house opened as shrine to Elian
The Associated Press
MIAMI — The small home where Elian Gonzalez lived while at the center of an international custody battle opened yesterday as a shrine to honor him.
Delfin Gonzalez, the boy's great uncle, bought the home November 2000 and converted it into a shrine, free to the public.
"I'm very satisfied," he said. "I'm happy to serve and that people can come and look and go
through memories of when Elian was hgre."
Gonzalez, 67, said some people might not agree with opening the shrine shortly after last month's terrorist attacks or even having a site dedicated to the boy. But he said it filled a need in the community.
For several months following Elian's rescue two miles off Fort Lauderdale on Thanksgiving Day 1999, the home was the scene of
protests against Cuba and in favor of keeping Eilian in Miami.
The home was raided by U.S. Border Patrol agents before dawn on April 22, 2000, and Elian was eventually reunited with his Cuban father. Two months later, they returned to Cuba.
Some visitors were moved to tears.
"To us, this day was almost equivalent to the Twin Towers
