Ohio Holds $3 Million Cash in General Fund End of July
Finance Director Richard L Krabach reported a $3 million unencumbered cash balance in Ohio's general fund at July end. A $23.5 million advance in public utility taxes turned a $19 million deficit into cash, but $33 million in unpaid liquor bills and $5 million owed to the Public Employee Retirement system left a $35 million red balance. Nearly $60.5 million sat in the non-earmarked fund, with about $42 million for school subsidies and $15 million for other obligations. The quarterly school foundation payment of nearly $63 million would be met on time, while a November payment of about $60 million could tighten finances as revenue for the year remains weak.
