Probably you’ve already heard that on June 19, the Governor proposed an additional cut in the PLF of $112.5 million in fiscal year 2010 and $114.8 million in 2011 as part of his “framework” to fill the $3.2 billion gap in the Ohio state budget.

Here’s where the ‘weep’ comes in:

This will mean a more than 50% cut in funding for many of Ohio’s public libraries.

Time is of the essence! The state budget must be approved by June 30, 2009!

Phone calls and e-mails are the quickest methods of contact. You can call Governor Ted Strickland at:
(614) 466-3555
