Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine spent Thursday morning praising the General Assembly for the state’s new budget after removing several items late Wednesday night before signing it.

DeWine, who by law had to sign a balanced budget by July 1, used his veto to eliminate 14 items, fewer than previous years, saying the governor should concede to the Legislature when making those decisions.
