Senate gives budget final OK, sends to Strickland
By a bipartisan 17-15 vote, the Senate on Monday, July 13, approved the $50.5 billion two-year state operating budget and sent it to Gov. Ted Strickland. The House earlier approved the budget 54-44.
Strickland is expected to sign the budget by Wednesday.
Five Republicans, all in leadership spots, joined the Senate’s 12 Democrats in approving the budget. Fifteen Republicans, including Jon Husted of Kettering, voted “no.”

OK, we all know the game here. Negotiate a budget deal that provides political cover for all. They knew the votes before the actual vote and allowed people like Husted to vote no for their future political aspirations. Just more political games in Ohio while the economy is barely better than Michigan…great leadership again.
