Bill Coley quipped as the resolution cleared his committee. ?I heard Connecticut was also laying claim to Sasqatch and the Loch Ness monster,? Ohio state Sen.
The Ohio measure responds to a 2013 Connecticut law honoring aviator Gustave Whitehead as flying in 1901, two years ahead of Dayton residents Orville and Wilbur Wright. The Wrights were born in Ohio and took their first flight off Kitty Hawk, N.C., in 1903. Senate passage was expected and its sponsor said the third state in the Wright fight ? North Carolina ? was supportive.

Ohio is ready to deliver its formal comeback to Connecticut?s claim that another aviator beat the Wright brothers as first in flight, defending what one witness described Wednesday as ?a marketing brand of enormous value.?Ī resolution repudiating Connecticut?s claim cleared its final committee hurdle Wednesday.
