   In a press release from the Governors office, Governor Strickland Said about an executive order just signed to help control the states spending:

"Our commitment to live
within our means has required difficult choices and belt-tightening in
an already austere budget environment," Strickland said. "But even
after reducing the state workforce by more than 3,500 employees and
undertaking nearly $2 billion in spending cuts and reductions, the
national recession continues to impact the state budget. I am ordering
additional limits to general revenue fund spending immediately to
ensure the state continues to meet critical financial obligations while
concluding the fiscal year with Ohio's budget in balance."
