COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The economic troubles that require a $700 million cut in the state budget originated in Washington and elsewhere, Gov. Ted Strickland told newspaper editors and reporters on Thursday.
Strickland, speaking at the 2008 legislative preview sponsored by The Associated Press, blamed budget problems in Ohio on the skyrocketing price of oil, mortgage foreclosures and a national economy that has nose-dived over the past year.
‘‘We are paying the price in Ohio for the debacle that is Washington, D.C.,’’ Strickland said.
