DEWINE BUDGET PLAN

GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE'S BUDGET PLAN FOCUSES ON OHIO FAMILIES AND EDUCATION BUT MAY ALSO PLAY A ROLE IN THE FUTURE OF OHIO PROFESSIONAL SPORTS. 
IT INCLUDES DOUBLING THE TAX ON SPORTS GAMBLING THAT COULD FUND A NEW BROWN STADIUM. DEWINE PROPOSES TO RAISE THE TAX FROM 20% TO 40%, WHICH COULD GENERATE AS MUCH AS $180 MILLION A YEAR. THE STATE'S SHARE OF A SPORTS STADIUM WOULD BE CAPPED AT 40%.
