Summer Recess came later for the Legislature this year
Summer recess came much later for the Ohio Legislature this year as opposed to most years, thanks to the idea of a midterm budget by the governor.
State Senator Bob Peterson says this bill was more policy driven, asking how they can make the State Government more efficient, what tweaks need to be made to make things flow better, and trying to get better use of the dollars they already have.
The state was able to appropriate some additional dollars for some projects, due to a higher than expected surplus, just one year after seeing an $8 billion deficit.
