Ohio lawmakers urging changes in tax, Medicaid
Outnumbered more than 2 to 1, Senate Democrats on Wednesday called for canceling a House-passed income tax cut for those earning more than $106,000 a year and using that money to funnel $508 million more to K-12 schools. The Senate Finance Committee heard from its subcommittees that have studied portions of the budget, but the reports provided little indication of the direction the Republican majority plans to go in areas of education, health care, taxes, and the environment.
