"Ohio Senate approves $86B budget plan with reconciliation ahead."

The Ohio Senate has passed an $85.8 billion state budget plan that includes tax cuts, school voucher expansion, and changes to the state's K-12 and college systems. The budget plan will now head to a conference committee of House and Senate negotiators who will reconcile differences between the Senate's budget plan and the House's version before sending a final bill to Gov. Mike DeWine. The major issues raised in the Senate and House budgets include tax cuts, school voucher expansion, combating liberal "bias" on campus, teacher salary raise, and social safety net programs.
