What Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed from state's latest budget
- Late Monday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a $60 billion budget and issued 67 line-item vetoes, including cultural and property tax provisions.
- DeWine's vetoes stemmed from concerns that rapid policy changes could destabilize school districts and conflicted with his priorities, including property tax and education reforms.
- DeWine's 67 vetoes removed measures banning Pride flags, censuring LGBT content, and defunding trans-affirming youth shelters.
- Ohio lawmakers can override DeWine's vetoes with a three-fifths majority once they return from summer recess, but are currently strategizing which to challenge.
- DeWine will convene a working group to recommend balanced property tax relief and ensure stable school funding, aiming for long-term reforms beyond vetoes.
