More income tax cuts and a phased-in universal voucher program are among the hundreds of changes in a Republican-crafted proposal announced Tuesday for Ohio's nearly $86 billion state budget.
The two-year funding proposal already cleared the GOP-led House in April with bipartisan support, but a raucous vote on the floor hinted that a split in the House's Republican supermajority is still alive and well and left questions about how they'll iron out a final product with the Senate.
The proposal also would phase in a universal voucher program with higher scholarship amounts than the House or Republican Gov. Mike DeWine's versions of the budget have envisioned. Families at or below 450% of the federal poverty level, or around $135,000 for a family of four, could receive $6,300 for K-12 students and $8,400 in taxpayers' money for those in grades 9-12 to attend private schools.
The Senate also would keep the House's proposal to continue implementing a fairer, more reliable school funding formula from the last two-year budget, while factoring in updated costs for teacher salaries, transportation and technology. That would be a win for legislative Democrats.
