Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has signed a two-year, $60 billion operating budget that flattens the state’s income tax and sets aside $600 million in unclaimed funds for a new Cleveland Browns stadium.
The Republican governor signed the budget late Monday night, about 45 minutes before the midnight deadline. He also issued 67 line-item vetoes, including one that would have cut funding for homeless shelters “that promote or affirm social gender transition" and another that would have forced public libraries to keep materials on sexual orientation and gender identity away from those under 18.
