Ohio Senate approves bills to save federal aid
The Ohio Senate passed two measures to preserve federal matching funds for air quality control and highway construction. One bill updates air pollution laws to meet the 1970 Clean Air Act requirements and broadens health risk definitions. The other expands the Highway Beautification Act to curb billboard ads within 660 feet of highways, risking about $20 million in federal funds if not enacted. The House is moving quickly and holds a hearing on the highway bill.
