Ohio House Approves $10.6B Budget With Likely Veto Checks
Democratic leaders expect Gov Rhodes to use line item vetoes on the $10.6 billion two year state budget after the House backed Senate changes 55 to 39 and sent the bill to Rhodes rather than to a conference committee. Senators passed a measure banning private business by state and local agencies with party caucuses exempt, as Democrats maneuver on a busy legislative day.
