Last week, Governor John Kasich rolled out his latest and last proposed two year state spending plan. He’s called for keeping Medicaid, freezing college tuition, and modest increases to school funding. Kasich also proposed cutting income taxes and offsetting those cuts with tax hikes on cigarettes, alcohol, and oil and natural gas drillers. The Ohio General Assembly has until July 1st to enact a spending package, but the Republican controlled House and Senate are already casting doubt.
