What Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed from state's latest budget
OHIO, JUL 2 – Governor DeWine issued 67 vetoes to protect local school funding and oppose anti-LGBTQ measures while approving key tax changes and $600 million for a new Cleveland Browns stadium.
- On Tuesday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed the state's biennial budget into law while vetoing several key property tax reform provisions.
- DeWine vetoed these provisions because he said they could cause financial problems for school districts and usurp voter approval of millage.
- The vetoed measures included limits on school districts' fund carryover, restrictions on emergency levies, and county commissions' control over tax rates.
- DeWine emphasized the role of levies in helping school districts sustain their financial health over time and announced plans to form a working group tasked with proposing property tax relief measures to the state legislature.
- Lawmakers, mostly Republicans, are considering overriding the vetoes before the end of 2026 amid widespread calls for property tax relief across Ohio.
