Deadline for Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to Sign State Budget Bill with Funding for Cleveland Browns Stadium, Flat Tax Rate
OHIO, JUN 28 – Governor DeWine plans to veto budget items including $600 million for a Browns stadium and Medicaid restrictions affecting over 800,000 Ohioans, amid bipartisan controversy.
- In Columbus, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine must issue vetoes on the two-year, $60 billion budget by Monday night, which includes $600 million for a Browns stadium in Brook Park.
- Senate Democrats' letter requests 27 vetoes, chiefly opposing $600 million in unclaimed funds for Browns stadium and measures on Medicaid and libraries, before DeWine's Monday deadline.
- Critics note that ITEP found 98% of flat-tax benefits flow to the top 20%, highlighting concerns over equity, while economist J.C. Bradbury called the funding plan "willful ignorance" in diverting spending.
- Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost criticized the Browns stadium funding plan, and DeWine will explain his veto decisions at a Tuesday press conference.
- If DeWine signs the budget, Democrats threaten legal action over unclaimed funds raids, which would establish Ohio as the 15th flat-tax state.
