GOP’s budget plan passes Ohio House

Published April 22, 2021 11:00pm ET



Ohio Republicans quickly moved through a two-year, nearly $163 billion state budget that makes sweeping changes to how the state funds public schools and includes an income tax break for every Ohioan.

After introducing the budget a little more than a week ago, the House Finance Committee gave its approval Tuesday, with all of the committee’s Republicans and two Democrats voting for it. The proposal passed on the House floor Wednesday, 70-27. Hearings continue in the Senate. The General Assembly must pass and Gov. Mike DeWine must sign a balanced budget by July 1.
