Governor Mike DeWine says the state took out a federal loan for nearly 1.5 billion dollars to cover unemployment during the pandemic, but he added the state's revenue is recovering. This month, Ohio's tax revenues exceed the monthly estimate by $41 million. So, the Governor has talked to Senate President Matt Huffman and House Speaker Bob Cupp and other leaders of their respective houses and they all agree that Ohio should use the money that they are getting from the latest federal relief act to pay off that debt now, versus having to find a way to pay it later.
