Ohio GOP proposes $3.1B tax cut and targets 'woke' universities.

The Ohio Senate has approved a budget plan that includes $3.1 billion in tax cuts for residents and businesses, as well as a significant expansion of school vouchers. The plan also includes controversial measures aimed at addressing perceived liberal and "woke" bias at Ohio's public colleges and universities, including prohibiting the use of diversity statements or assessments of political or ideological views in hiring, promotions, or admissions decisions. The budget bill will likely go to a conference committee to resolve differences with the House version before being sent to Governor Mike DeWine for approval.
