Ohio Lawmakers Finalize State Budget

The drastic cuts by Governoer Strickland have been avoided, but the loss of revenue is still significant -- and will be painful.

Link to July 15 Library Journal post, "In Final Ohio Budget, Libraries Will Lose Up to 30% of State Support. Loss of $84.3 million, rather than $227.3 million; still, advocates thanked".

Link to July 14 Columbus Post-Dispatch article, "Final bill passes with wealth of grumbling".
