DeWine proposes budget. What does that mean for Scioto County? By Patrick Keck - pkeck@aimmediamidwest.com SCIOTO — Gov. Mike DeWine’s $1 billion budget proposal could bring major financial assistance to issues facing the county, among them broadband, children’s services and substance abuse. The budget, which details plans for fiscal years 2022 to 2023, aims to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus, which has taken the lives of 11,695 Ohioans and caused economic and social disarray. “Major crises can be powerfully transformative events,” he said during last Monday’s news conference. “After what has been an extremely challenging time in Ohio, we have an opportunity with this budget to make the kind of investments that will bring renewal and recovery.”
