FYI:

Ohio Senate set to vote on its version of Kasich's budget

http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2013/06/ohio_senate_set_to_...

The Ohio Senate is poised to vote Thursday on its version of the state's two-year budget.

Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday moved to send its nearly-finished iteration of House Bill 59 to a floor vote in the full chamber after tweaking the legislation. Those lawmakers added 11 amendments to the bill and shut down most Democratic proposals to adjust the legislation, which included an attempt to strip out anti-abortion measures.

The budget left the committee with a party-line vote of 9-4. . .

. . Wednesday's Senate vote will send the now $62 billion budget to a conference committee, where members from both chambers will make the final changes to HB 59 before sending it to Kasich for approval. Lawmakers have said the conference committee will confer with the governor during its process to ensure Kasich won't use his veto power to dismantle what the legislature has put together.

Kasich said he hopes the conference committee will add more tax cuts to the budget. The governor had planned to give all Ohioans an income tax cut and drop the state's sales tax from 5.5 percent to 5 percent. Only Kasich's small-business tax cut remains in the budget.

The governor must sign off on HB 59 by June 30.

Do you think he's campaigning for himself or for Ayotte (who I have noticed lately, he supports/partners with on a regular basis) or simply on Senate business?

Be sure to read the comments after the article as well IMO.

Came across this as well--why is he campaigning with/for an obvious (IMO) RINO (she partners with McCain and Graham on a regular basis)?

Why am I seeing reports that Husted reported voter fraud of one in four in Ohio  when the news releases Husted sent out did not say anything of the kind? These reports are supposed to be coming from Liberty News.  There is some misinformation going on and I am afraid it's coming from our side. Yes I believe we have a voter fraud problem of massive proportions, but it doesn't help to put out reports that are not true. It just gives the other side ammo to call us out for not telling the truth.

To follow up on Shelley's insight (and I must also admit that I needed to refresh my old brain to what Husted said). . .

And yet Husted just released a report that voter fraud is not a widespread problem in Ohio.

Nancy, thanks for giving us some good info on what Columbus is doing. I'm calling my rep on the driver's licenses and yet again on the budget and Medicaid.
