Book: Heavy lifting

Ohio is one of five states profiled in the book Heavy Lifting: the job of the American legislature, by Alan Rosenthal.

One book review notes that the book "gives masterful insights into the acutal workings of legislatures in legislator-constiutuency relations, legislative processes and relationships between legislators and governors;" (Source: 78 Spectrum: the journal of state government 31, Winter 2005).
