Senate debates Ohio budget as House plan drawn into question
Ohio Senate opened debate on the 346.5 billion two year budget amid criticism the House plan lacks long term structural balance. Tax Commissioner Tom Zaine cited failures to adopt Taft tax reforms and reliance on a temporary one penny sales tax increase and potential slot machine revenue. Senate leaders warned against one time money risking bond ratings and higher interest loans. Medicaid costs and optional services remain flash points as lawmakers seek a balanced path.
