June 14: Ohio State Finances Update: Strickland’s Tight Budget Claims Still Ring Hollow; Ohio’s Press Is Still Asleep
____________________________________________
NOTE: The June 14 follow-up post above corrects for a $284 million error in understating expenses made by the Ohio Office of Budget and Management in April that caused an offsetting error in May. Because of that $284 million error, the State, as of April 30, was $347 million better off than it anticipated it would be in its original budget, not the $631 million noted in the post based on the numbers below.
This post has not been, and will not be, otherwise changed to reflect OBM’s error.
