DeWine puts budget proposal focus on children

(The Center Square) – Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine wants to give parents working minimum-wage jobs a tax credit, but no other tax cuts were included in a budget proposal that focused strongly on children.

In the $218 billion, two-year budget, DeWine proposed fully funding public education but trimming money going to districts with declining enrollment. He’s also pushing for increases in child care, children’s physical and mental health, support for law enforcement and water quality.
