Gilligan unveils austerity plan to close $40 million deficit
Gov. John J. Gilligan warned that if the General Assembly does not approve a balanced two year budget by Sept. 1, Ohio would enact an austerity program. The plan would lay off about 2,840 workers, cut salaries, close 44 of 55 parks, and reduce aid to schools and welfare. State finance officials say these steps could wipe out deficits and leave Ohio in the black by February.
