Taft grants clemency to first death row inmate in 12 years
Governor Taft spares Jerome Campbell, altering his 1988 aggravated murder death sentence to life without parole after new DNA evidence. He notes jurors might have considered witnesses differently if informants’ favored credibility had been disclosed. Campbell plans a future retrial, while Turner's family reacts with frustration.

Taft signs budget with 29 vetoes and tax hike
Ohio Governor Bob Taft signed a $48.8 billion two year budget on Thursday and vetoed 29 sections including limits on voting system upgrades. The plan adds a penny per dollar sales tax expected to raise 2.5 billion, funds education, and maintains gambling restrictions despite tax increases. Taft vetoed moving federal Help America Vote Act timing and a transfer of 4.2 million from the OhioReads tutoring program to a senior tutoring program.
