Ohio House Approves Kasich Budget With Tax Probe Cut
The Ohio House approved a midterm budget package 61 to 33, stripping a tax provision on oil and gas while trimming spending by 69 million dollars. It reserves 30 million for high quality nursing homes and 3 million for a healthy Lake Erie fund to aid business, farming, and tourism. The measure advances to the Senate as Kasich opposition notes funds for schools and local governments remain tight and a surplus sits unused.

County delays land bank setup for review and funding plan
Lorain County commissioners postponed formal creation of a land bank for a week to allow Commissioner Tom Williams to review details and determine board size. The plan would fund the nonprofit by 5 percent of fines and interest on delinquent property taxes, about 600000 annually, with 200000 to staff and admin and the rest to leverage grants for demolishing vacant homes.
