Ohio Budget Plan Cuts Air Quality Agency's Funding

[upstatecajun]

COLUMBUS, Ohio --
Ohio Gov. John Kasich's two-year budget proposal would cut most funding for an agency created four decades ago to help businesses follow Clean Air Act requirements.

Kasich's plan would slash money for the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority by 95 percent to about $924,000 in the first year and keep it at the reduced level in the second year. The authority would stop getting money from the general revenue fund.

1. He had meetings with the corporations before he took office

asking them what regulations and taxes they wanted cut.

2. Ah, a Republican's wet dream!

Slash money from the budget, and slash environmental regulations, all at the same time!

A two-fer!

It sucks.
