US EditionOhio Attorney General Dave Yost Urges Gov. Mike DeWine to Veto Cleveland Browns Domed Stadium Funding
- On June 29, 2025, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost urged Governor Mike DeWine to reject $600 million in unclaimed state funds allocated for a new enclosed stadium project for the Cleveland Browns located in Brook Park.
- Yost's letter follows the Ohio General Assembly’s approval of the reconciled budget that allocates these funds and the Haslam Sports Group's recent $76 million land purchase.
- Yost argued that using unclaimed funds this way risks betraying public trust, makes Ohio an outlier nationally, and could inadvertently harm taxpayers unaware of their unclaimed money.
- He stated, "Billionaires should finance their own stadiums—full stop," and called for "a thoughtful pause" to explore options benefiting all 11.9 million Ohioans.
- This veto call highlights debate over economic development funding amid concerns from public schools and libraries about budget cuts and reductions in state support.
