COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Ohio Senators made several changes to the state’s two-year, $60 billion spending bill on Tuesday afternoon.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine introduced an executive budget at the start of the year, which became House Bill 96. The House worked on it, made changes and passed it in April. Since then, the Senate has been hearing testimony on different aspects of the proposal; Tuesday marked the Senate’s first round of changes, with another likely coming next week.
After that, Senate and House members will have until the end of June to come to an agreement on the multi-billion-dollar spending bill.
Some of the Senate’s key changes target property tax relief, school funding, Cleveland Browns stadium funding, and iGaming.
