Ohio Senate Passes Controversial Budget with Major Funding for Browns Stadium
The Ohio Senate has passed a budget plan that allocates $600 million for a new domed stadium for the Cleveland Browns, amid significant controversy over tax cuts which primarily benefit the wealthy. The budget also includes more funding for public schools and proposes sweeping tax changes, including a flat tax rate. Critics argue that the focus on corporate welfare and substantial public spending on the stadium neglects the needs of ordinary families, especially with expected cuts to services for the poor. The measure now moves to the House for further deliberation.
