Ohio budget: Money for a Browns domed stadium and a flat income tax

Season 2025 Episode 25

Ohio's new two-year $60 billion operating budget is off to Gov. Mike DeWine. The budget passed through a reconciliation committee, and both chambers of the legislature this week. The budget would tap the state's unclaimed funds to help the Browns build a new domed stadium in Brook Park. It also flattens the state income tax to a single bracket. We will talk about the budget to begin "Ideas."
