Yost against Browns’ stadium plan, calls it legal

(The Center Square) – Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost thinks it’s a bad idea to give taxpayers’ private funds to the Cleveland Browns, but he doesn’t believe it’s illegal.

Yost, a Republican, said on social media he hopes Republican Gov. Mike DeWine uses his line-item veto authority to remove the plan Republican lawmakers inserted into the budget that would use $600 million of unclaimed taxpayer funds for a new stadium in Brook Park.
