Ohio’s massive new two-year operating budget completed

Season 2023 Episode 27 | 26m 46s

Governor Mike DeWine signed off on the budget early Tuesday after making 44 line-item vetoes. At more than 6,000 pages, the budget is huge. And it’s also massive in its scope. When you factor in the last of the federal COVID relief dollars and other funds, the budget totals a whopping $191.2 billion in spending. The budget is heavy with education funding including expanded vouchers.
