BUDGET VETOES

BUDGET VETOES

AFTER GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE SIGNED THE 60-BILLION DOLLAR, 2-YEAR STATE OPERATING BUDGET INTO LAW, THE WAIT IS ON TO SEE IF THE LEGISLATURE TRIES TO OVERRIDE ANY OF HIS 67 VETOES. 
HE VETOED A PROVISION ABOUT PRIVATE SCHOOL EDUCATION TAX CREDITS CITING CONCERNS ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY WITH PRIVATE SCHOOLS. HE ALSO VETOED SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE INCREASED THE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN ENROLLED IN MEDICAID. AND HE VETOED A PROVISION THAT WOULD HAVE MADE SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS PARTISAN OFFICES. THE GOVERNOR SAID HE IS FORMING A WORKING GROUP TO COME UP WITH LONGTERM SOLUTIONS FOR PROPERTY TAX RELIEF. THAT'S AFTER HE VETOED SEVERAL PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PROVISIONS IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT WOULD HAVE IMPACTED PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING.
