Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland is lobbying state lawmakers to labor around
the clock until a new multi-year budget is reached to replace the one

Republicans because of playing politics and failing to come up with a viable counter proposal to overcome a $3.2 billion deficit.
Strickland said the slots plan would raise $933 million. Republicans say it has “fatal flaws”.
Strickland said he shall stay at the statehouse and bring in food for lawmakers if needed.
