The Buckeye Institute: Connecting Ohio to Broadband is Essential for the Future

The Buckeye Institute submitted written testimony to the Ohio Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee on the policies in House Bill 13, which would expand access to broadband internet service to underserved areas of Ohio. In his testimony, Greg R. Lawson noted that the pandemic has “highlighted the importance of high-speed broadband access” for telehealth, online learning, internet commerce, and teleworking. Unfortunately, many areas across Ohio—particularly rural areas—do not have access to this vital tool.

The Buckeye Institute released a new policy brief, Weathering the Storm: Budgeting for Prosperity in a Time of Crisis, which outlines sound, fundamental economic principles that—if followed—can save the state more than $4 billion and put Ohio in a better position to weather and recover from the fiscal storm brought about by COVID-19. In the paper, author Greg R. Lawson writes, “With fiscal discipline and transparency, Ohio can emerge from the COVID-19 crisis with an even stronger, more durable economy and a more sustainable state budget in the years ahead.”
