Columbus' priorities

It seeks to transfer to private control many of the state’s most valuable public assets — the turnpike, the lottery, the liquor distribution system — as well as critical institutions such as prisons, in exchange for small amounts of up-front money and with scant state oversight. It’s a “reform-minded” budget that does too little to reform the $7 billion the state doles out each year in tax breaks, many of them wasteful sops to special interests. Even now, though, GOP officials demand that any new money go to replenishing the state’s “rainy day” fund, instead of starting to restore some of the programs the budget would gut. Do they expect the state’s fiscal emergency to get even worse in the next few years? If so, they might share the reasons for such forebodings with their constituents. They could postpone the final phase of the state’s income tax cut until revenues improve. They could not just set up a committee to review tax expenditures, but actually save more than $300 million a year right now by ending unnecessary breaks identified by Ohio think tanks across the ideological spectrum (see the op-ed column on the next page).
