Surplus Cash

While the US is going deeper and deeper into debt, Ohio has come up with a nice little surplus of cash.

While special interest groups following the budget have ideas for the money, Ohio's two Republican legislative leaders -- House Speaker Jon Husted of Kettering and Senate President Bill Harris of Ashland -- agree that the revised estimates should not lead to additional spending by state government.[...]

Harris would like to put any additional money into the state's rainy day fund, an idea that Husted supports, but the speaker said he would also consider a tax refund. The rainy day fund currently contains $180.7 million, according to OBM.

I have an idea! How about we bail out our schools that are in debt? I mean, shouldn't we worry about our kids before we worry about lining our pockets with a few extra bucks? I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too logically.
