Daniels says all state agencies will reduce spending by at least 10 percent, reimbursements to some Medicaid providers will be reduced and state employees will not have pay increases for fiscal 2010.

Gaming expansion approved in Ohio

Ohio voters have approved a measure allowing casinos in Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati and Columbus. Supporters of the initiative, including the owner of the National Basketball Association's Cleveland Cavaliers, commissioned a study suggesting the economic impact on Ohio would be around $4 billion, including the creation of approximately 40,000 full-time and part-time jobs. There is concern the competition will drive some traffic and revenue away from Indiana casinos.
