Weekly Reporter Roundtable: Will school voucher bill proceed before Ohio lawmakers' summer recess?

"Take the Dough, We Gotta Know" is the name of a bipartisan bill requiring more oversight into the controversial EdChoice voucher program. But will it go anywhere with mere days until summer recess? Ohio doesn’t have enough oversight into EdChoice, the state-funded program giving families vouchers for their kids to go to private K-12 schools, according to two state lawmakers who say they want to change that. Senate Bill 443 , introduced last Wednesday by Sen. Bill Blessing (R-Colerain Twp.) and Sen. Kent Smith (D-Euclid), would establish a dozen new accountability measures. Data centers in Ohio will no longer enjoy a key tax break at least for now. The pause, announced by Gov. Mike DeWine comes as lawmakers discuss the industry’s future here. As resident anger over data centers builds and lost revenue from combined incentives tops $1 billion, which is far more than was previously known. A pastor turned Ohio lawmaker pushes a bill named for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The Ohio Supreme Court weighs in on a massive solar project in Madison County on land partially owned by Bill Gates. Calling all STEM students: the state has $26 million in college scholarships for you. We're digging into all of these topics on this week's Reporter Roundtable. Guests: Sarah Donaldson, reporter, Ohio Public Radio Statehouse News Bureau Laura Hancock, politics and policy reporter, Cleveland.com Jake Zuckerman, reporter, Signal Ohio
