   Ohio’s rainy day fund: Not quite an ITune, but one heck of a chicken taco
By Jessica Wehrman | Thursday, July 9, 2009, 02:22 PM 
The state of Ohio has a mere 89 cents left in its rainy day fund. 89 cents. Three quarters, a dime and three pennies.

	I attribute this to all of the rainy weather we have had the last month.

	I attribute it to poor math skills.

	From the article, "The fund, the state’s emergency piggy bank account, was drained of about $1 billion to finish off the last fiscal year when tax revenues took a nose dive in the bad economy." So where are the cuts?

	None of you have caught the obvious Journal error: "The state of Ohio has a mere 89 cents left in its rainy day fund. 89 cents. Three quarters, a dime and three pennies."

	I try to avoid math whenever I can, so I took her word for it. At least the fund has a surplus.
