Taft finalizes Ohio operating budget with select cuts
Ohio Governor Bob Taft pushed to midnight to finish the 22.6 billion two year operating budget after line item vetoes and subtle cuts. The package funds welfare health care and child programs while phasing out the inventory tax with a five year trigger. A provision exempting the Legislative Services Commission from public records law remains debated.

Taft vetoes budget provisions on prison study and Enterprise Zone reforms
Gov. Taft vetoed $226 million budget provisions including a required ongoing study of privately run state prisons in Grafton and Conneaut after they open, funding for the study, and a completion timeline. The veto also removed a biannual reporting obligation for the Department of Development on the enterprise zone program and offsetting audit funding and public disclosure concerns. Democratic lawmakers criticized reduced oversight and questioned job-creation impacts of the incentives. Sen. Fingerhut led opposition to extending the enterprise zone program.
