[OPLINLIST] Governor's Press Conference

[James Guilford]

In today's news conference, Governor Strickland repeatedly stated that 
he is awaiting suggestions, any suggestions, from the Ohio Senate. He 
accused senate leadership of playing politics with the budget process 
and that their inaction was hurting Ohio, its citizens, and costing the 
state of Ohio millions of dollars. He said that if the senate did not 
like his 2010-2011 budget "framework" with its call for "Video Lottery 
Terminals" and steep cuts with no tax increases, they ought to come up 
with a comprehensive plan of their own.  I'm sure it will all be on the 
news tonight.
