COLUMBUS (AP) — Improving access to child care and health care for children form core elements of Gov. Mike DeWine’s agenda in 2024.
The second-term Republican delivered his State of the State address Wednesday to a joint session of the GOP-controlled Legislature.
He also mentioned efforts he says can boost Ohio’s economy.
Those include expanding child care and keeping more college graduates in the state.
DeWine wants to create a child care voucher program for families that meet income eligibility requirements.
He also wants to start measuring how many Ohio college graduates get a job within six months.
And he wants to ensure every child who needs eyeglasses can get them.
