OH SENATE BUDGET

THE OHIO HOUSE AND SENATE NOW HAVE TO RECONCILE THEIR VERSIONS OF THE STATE BUDGET FOLLOWING THE SENATE'S APPROVAL YESTERDAY.

THE REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED OHIO SENATE PUSHED THROUGH THEIR $60 BILLION BUDGET PROPOSAL, ONE THAT RESHAPES TAXES AND SETS THE STAGE FOR THE STATE'S FIRST DOMED NFL STADIUM IN BROOK PARK. THE SENATE PLAN TAPS INTO OHIOANS' UNCLAIMED STATE FUNDS TO FINANCE THE PROJECT. HOWEVER, ALSO IN THE BUDGET, OHIO WOULD MOVE TO A 2.75% FLAT TAX STARTING NEXT YEAR. THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE MUST RECONCILE THEIR DIFFERENT BUDGET VERSIONS AND SEND A FINAL PLAN TO GOVERNOR DEWINE BY JUNE 30TH.
