COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame could get millions of dollars for its renovation under Ohio's new spending proposal. The symbol of Cleveland and of Ohio, is getting attention in the state capital.
Although it had caused controversy back in February, the House passed a version of the budget using $350 million, or half of the total. Senate leadership took offense to this and said they would not be following suit — and they would be using all $700 million. When the House passed its version of the bill, it gave $5 million to the museum, but the Senate just added $2 million more to the proposal.
Greg Lawson, with conservative think-tank The Buckeye Institute, doesn’t think the state should be spending its money on the museum.
