The Ohio Senate unveiled its proposed version of the state budget bill on Tuesday. Previous plans from Gov. Mike DeWine and House Republicans were worth following. But it’s the Senate’s version of the budget that sets the final terms of the debate. The Senate provides a clearer picture of what the finished product might include – or at least what horse trading will look like. The bill funds state operations for the next two years and calls for spending $60 billion of tax dollars.

There’s a grimy saltwater seeping into their oil wells, and the Bobs are furious about it. The Bobs – two landowners from Washington County named Bob Lane, 79, and Bob Wilson, 65 – own about 240 old-fashioned vertical oil wells over a few thousand acres across Southeast Ohio. Between them,they said in interviews, at least 55 of their wells have “flooded” since about 2019. Instead of oil, they are now producing only a salty, sludgy, translucent brine with a foul smell.
