The salient focus of this episode revolves around the impending State Issue 2, a proposed bond measure that seeks authorization for the state to sell bonds totaling $2.5 billion over a decade, ostensibly to fund local infrastructure projects. Bryan Williams, alongside guest Mark Pukita, delve into the implications of this significant financial endeavor, which entails an annual drawdown of $250 million. Their discourse critically examines the necessity and prudence of such a measure, particularly in light of its historical context and the overarching fiscal management of the state of Ohio. They illuminate the potential consequences of this bond issuance, emphasizing the obligation it places on future taxpayers and questioning whether local governments might not be better served by issuing their own bonds instead. Throughout our conversation, they aim to equip listeners with the essential information required to make an informed decision when they encounter this measure on the ballot in May.
