BUDGET VETO OVERRIDES

TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR STATE LAWMAKERS TO OVERRIDE GUBENATORIAL BUDGET LINE-ITEM VETOES
THE DAYTON DAILY NEWS REPORTS THAT THE STAGE HAS BEEN SET FOR A POTENTIAL SHOWDOWN BETWEEN REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS IN THE STATEHOUSE AND GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE. THE GOVERNOR MADE 67 LINE-ITEM VETOES TO THE BUDGET BEFORE SIGNING IT ON JUNE 30TH. AT ISSUE IS EDUCATION REFORM AND HOW THE VETOED PROPERTY TAX PROPOSAL WOULD AFFECT OHIO'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS. STUDENT USE OF CITY TRANSIT FOR SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION IS ANOTHER, LESS IMPORTANT ISSUE. STATE LAWMAKERS HAVE 10 DAYS TO SUBMIT LINE-ITEM OVERRIDES WITH A THREE-FIFTH MAJORITY. IT WOULD ALSO CALL THE STATEHOUSE BACK INTO SESSION.
