Ohio voters approve ballot issue authorizing $2.5 billion in bonds over 10 years for infrastructure
Ohio voters voted on Tuesday to reauthorize a program that will provide $2.5 billion for roads, bridges and other needed local infrastructure projects over the next decade.
State Issue 2 called for the renewal of the Ohio Capital Improvement Program, which was first authorized in 1987. Administered by the Ohio Public Works Commission, it relies on existing state revenues as opposed to raising taxes.
Under the measure, up to $250 million of the total general obligation bonds authorized can be issued each year over 10 years, creating an estimated 35,000 construction jobs.
The Strong Ohio Communities Coalition, a gathering of business, labor, agriculture and civic organizations, supported the measure, which attracted no significant opposition.
Coalition spokesperson Sam Rossi thanked voters and the Ohio General Assembly, which placed the measure on the ballot.
The Ohio Chamber of Commerce said in a statement that it looks forward to witnessing all the improvements roll out and the jobs they create, saying voters recognized “the importance of modern, reliable infrastructure to Ohio’s quality of life and its economic outlook.”
Though it was listed on the ballot as Issue 2, Tuesday’s ballot measure was the first and only statewide issue to appear. That’s the result of a new numbering system approved by state lawmakers after the elections of 2023 and 2024 featured several ballot issues timed close together and called either Issue 1 or Issue 2. Ohio’s next statewide ballot question will be labeled Issue 3.
The No. 13 seed LSU women’s tennis team defeated No. 4 seed Ohio State 4-2 on May 9 in an NCAA super regional match at the Auer Tennis Center in Columbus.
Ohio State finished 23-4. LSU is 24-7 and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.
The Buckeyes won the doubles point with Luciana Perry and Shelly Bereznyak winning 6-1 and Audrey Spencer and Sydni Ratliff winning 6-4. Bereznyak won in singles for Ohio State’s other point, topping Kinaa Graham, 7-6 (2), 6-4.
The news came one day before the Ohio Republican Party is set to endorse in the 2026 governor’s race to replace Mike DeWine.
Ohio governor’s race: See which candidates are running for 2026
Here are the candidates that have entered the 2026 race for governor in Ohio.
- Tressel’s potential candidacy comes as the Ohio Republican Party prepares to endorse in the race.
- Other GOP candidates include Vivek Ramaswamy, Dave Yost, and Heather Hill.
- Current Gov. Mike DeWine selected Tressel as his lieutenant governor earlier this year.
Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, best known for leading Ohio State University football to a national championship, is considering a run for Ohio governor.
The news came one day before the Ohio Republican Party is set to endorse in the 2026 governor’s race to replace Mike DeWine. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who grew up near Cincinnati and lives in Upper Arlington, has already scored a coveted endorsement from President Donald Trump and is seeking the party’s nomination, which requires support from two-thirds of members.
Tressel had been mum about his political future since DeWine picked him to replace now-Sen. Jon Husted in February. He told the statehouse bureau on April 17 that he hadn’t thought about running for governor. That changed with a statement on May 8.
“What has been a surprise, and it has been humbling, is how many people are encouraging me to run for Governor,” Tressel said in a statement, first reported by NBC News and obtained by the statehouse bureau. “I have not decided yet, but when I became lieutenant governor in February, (Tressel’s wife) Ellen told me that it seemed like God had more work for me to do, and she was right.”
“While I have not ruled out a run for Governor – and there will be a time in the future for those conversations – for now, I will remain focused on helping Ohioans get off the sidelines and into our workforce so they can reach their full potential,” he said.
Tressel, 72, of Medina, was Ohio State University’s head football coach from 2001 to 2010, leading the team to a national championship. He later served as Youngstown State University president from 2014 to 2023.
If Tressel enters the race, he would face Ramaswamy, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Morgan County’s Heather Hill. DeWine has urged members of the Ohio Republican Party to delay their endorsement.
Asked about Tressel’s position, Yost said he welcomes competing ideas and policies. “It will sharpen me and my opponents, and ultimately, the people of Ohio will win.”
Yost will forgo the Ohio GOP meeting on May 9 to attend the funeral of retired Hamilton County law enforcement officer Larry Henderson, who was killed on May 2.
“I believe this is the right thing to do (regardless of whether it is politically wise) and have so chosen my course,” Yost said.
