The Buckeye Institute released its 2021 Piglet Book, which identified more than $600 million in savings and looked at spending principles and priorities as Ohio recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. An analysis of Ohio’s proposed biennial budget, the Piglet Book offers savings for lawmakers to consider as they debate the state’s two-year budget.
